Workforce Diversity and Inclusion

We value our employees’ differences in age, color, ethnicity, family and marital status, gender identity and expression, national origin, physical and mental abilities, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status and other characteristics that make each of our employees unique. We recognize that the collective sum of our employees’ individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, self-expression, capabilities and talent fortifies our DNOW brand, increases innovation and contributes to our culture.

We prioritize the growth and development of our employees, fostering opportunities for valued contributions and innovation. We understand that empowering and advancing our team not only drives a better quality of work and life for our employees but also enables us to Drive Sustainable Value for our customers, helping us execute on our commitment to be our industry’s preferred supplier.

Workforce Diversity & Inclusion Note

In 2023, we expanded from 1 Employee Resource Group (“ERG”) to 3 ERGs, with the launch of our Women of NOW and PRIDE in Action ERGs.

We understand that the collective sum of our employees’ individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, self-expression, capabilities and talent amplifies our DNOW brand, enables us to drive innovation and enriches our culture. Our DEI mission commits to advancing an inclusive environment where diversity is appreciated and encouraged, and all employees have a sense of belonging and open communication channels throughout our organization. We believe it is crucial to maintain workplace equity and fairness where our differences Drive Sustainable Value.

Our DEI efforts in 2023 were grounded by listening sessions with employees, leaders and DEI experts. In 2023, our employees took leading roles in ERGs. In addition, our ERGs participated in multiple community focused volunteerism efforts, including Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Houston, the Annual PRIDE Celebration in Casper, Wyoming and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Courageous Conversations & Monthly Awareness Topics

Education and awareness remain integral to our DEI strategy. Our Courageous Conversations initiative and Monthly Awareness Topics promote greater empathy and understanding of the diversity within our team. Courageous Conversations creates a safe and comfortable environment for open and candid conversations about different life and work experiences. Our Monthly Awareness Topic events allow employees to celebrate and understand the diverse life journeys of their colleagues. Each event closes with Calls to Action, empowering all employees to initiate changes in their daily lives at work, at home and in their communities, fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging.
