Grainger released its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report entitled, “Focusing on What Matters – We Keep The World Working.”

Key among the report’s highlights is Grainger’s reduction of global absolute Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions by 31% since 2018, surpassing its 2030 target seven years early. The company has now set a new goal to achieve a 50% reduction by 2030, leveraging investments in solar energy, hydrogen, fuel cells and sustainable building materials.
