Social Responsibility

Fastenal’s founders started our company with a few closely-held beliefs – a commitment to philanthropy, a respect for the unique humanness of each individual, and a relentless focus on not wasting anything. Our business has grown and changed dramatically over the years, but those beliefs still guide our practices today, from how we source, package and distribute products, to how we foster equity and opportunity among employees, to how we give back to the communities we serve. At Fastenal, social responsibility isn’t just a series of ‘boxes’ to check – it’s an essential part of who we are.
