Fastenal’s green policy is to constantly look for ways in which we can improve our green credentials as part of our continuous process improvement under our lean quality initiatives. Our green strategy is also aligned with our government contract compliance initiatives and our corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. It is our mission to operate our business in the most environmentally-friendly way possible. This includes:

  • Establishing a green product offering from key vendors for national distribution and clearly identifying these products in our marketing materials, including our catalog and web site
  • Purchasing green products from our suppliers
  • Reducing waste and recycling & reusing materials at every opportunity
  • Reducing our electrical energy consumption
  • Designing distribution routes to minimize fuel consumption
  • Encouraging car pooling and responsible business travel
  • Repairing rather than throwing away whenever possible
  • Capturing green consumption data on our usage reports and cost savings documentation
  • Receiving electronic POs, invoices, and other business documents from vendors and customers whenever possible
  • Encouraging our customers to sign up for Electronic Invoicing via fax, email, or the web to reduce paper usage
