Statement of Support

To Our Stakeholders,

I am pleased to reaffirm Anixter’s ongoing support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact and their integration into our business. Since joining the Global Compact in January 2012, Anixter continues to successfully maintain its GC Active status and highlight the ongoing organizational accomplishments attained within the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption in our annual Corporate Responsibility Reports. This marks the eighth consecutive year of submitting our Corporate Responsibility Report to the United Nations Global Compact, the third consecutive year highlighting our three UN Sustainable Development Goals and the second consecutive year as a Signatory to the Global Compact. Our Blue Book states, “We are often pleased, but never satisfied.” As we seek continuous improvement in all that we do, we remain committed to implementing organizational improvements that will make a difference.
