Moving forward, EiXWrBtbTh4ve <br />all lighting projects follow a standard upgrade to LED and photo and motion control <br />technology. In addition to lighting initiatives, many of our distribution centers built within the <br />last decade have white thermoplastic polyolefin roofing, which reduces heat transfer into the <br />building and air conditioning consumption. <br />Transportation Efficiency <br />White Cap manages an internal fleet of motor vehicles to meet most of our transportation <br />needs, including inbound and customer deliveries. To that end, we are making efforts to <br />mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy consumption associated with our <br />transportation activities. For example, White Cap is currently rolling out telematics across its <br />commercial motor vehicle fleet. Over time, these devices will provide valuable insight into <br />truck utilization, which will potentially provide opportunities to increase efficiency and reduce <br />emissions. Within the White Cap business, routing technology lowers the amount of time <br />delivery vehicles are on the road and limits the number of vehicles required to deliver <br />product each day. This, in turn, lowers emissions. That same technology, coupled with <br />continued investment in new vehicles and a robust preventive maintenance plan, assures all <br />vehicles are as fuel efficient as possible. <br />Product Offerings <br />We offer customers cost-effective ways to incorporate environmentally sustainable products <br />into their building plans. Providing customers with environmentally friendly product options <br />helps them decrease environmental impacts, save money, stay compliant with environmental <br />regulations, and attract new business. We offer a handful of resources, including our <br />ideallygreen® initiative and energy savings calculators to help customers be environmentally <br />sustainable. As much as possible, we encourage our contractors and suppliers to <br />incorporate environmental stewardship into their practices. <br />White Cap's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is used by our company to <br />understand how we are managing risks and opportunities related to environmental, social, <br />and governance standards.

We do have a very strong supplier diversity program though. White Cap <br />understands that teaming with diverse businesses can bring value through quality products, <br />services and innovation. Our Supplier Diversity Program is designed to build strong <br />relationships with certified minority -owned, women -owned, and other historically <br />disadvantaged and small businesses. As part of the program, we work to identify and <br />classify existing suppliers with a diverse business certification or small business <br />classification from a recognized certifying agency. For suppliers working to develop a <br />relationship with White Cap, we offer an online Supplier Center that enables diverse <br />suppliers to enter relevant business, contact, and diversity information. <br />Note: Please see attached Supplier Diversity flyer <br />Bid Number: RFP 091422 Vendor Name: White Cap, LP <br />
