<br /> include a list of the certifying program. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly evaluate the
<br /> agency for each. efficiency of our use of natural resources.
<br /> In 2022, we made significant progress on our environmental priorities, including climate
<br /> action, energy efficiency and waste reduction. Notable highlights included:
<br /> Created our cross-functional, geographically diverse Climate Task Force to drive
<br /> greater climate awareness. This group worked with outside experts to develop our long-
<br /> term, enterprise-wide climate strategy and action plans.
<br /> At our two U.S. distribution centers, we outperformed our waste diversion goal of
<br /> more than 90 percent for the fourth year in a row and recycled thousands of tons of
<br /> packaging material, cardboard, and paper.
<br /> Enabled online searchable access for customers to an expanded portfolio of
<br /> environmentally certified products (Energy Star, EPEAT and TCO Certified) and a broad
<br /> range of cloud-based solutions that improve energy efficiency.
<br /> Expanded our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) program, which facilitates the recovery and
<br /> recycling of devices that are no longer being used, to benefit the environment and protect
<br /> the security of users' data.
<br /> Maintained environmental management system and energy certifications in the U.S.,
<br /> Canada, and U.K.
<br /> Attained ISO 14001:2004 Certification in Canada
<br /> We have environmental programs at all CDW facilities. All CDW distribution centers (two in
<br /> the U.S. and one in the U.K.) and two of our U.K. offices hold ISO 14001 certifications, the
<br /> international standard for Environmental Management Systems. Additionally, our largest office
<br /> locations globally, as well as our U.K. distribution center, have energy certifications — LEED
<br /> in the U.S. and Canada, BOMA in Canada, and BREEAM/REGO in the U.K. These
<br /> certifications provide frameworks for monitoring and enhancing our programs. Additionally,
<br /> our remote deployment services promote efficiency and productivity while reducing our
<br /> environmental impact.
<br /> We track our energy usage and continue to seek ways to drive further efficiency. As part of
<br /> our ISO 14001 environmental management certification, we identify, assess, and plan for
<br /> implementation of additional energy efficiency improvements. We take sustainability factors
<br /> and energy certifications into consideration when we evaluate new real estate options.
<br /> Our energy efficiency measures include indoor and outdoor LED lighting, motion sensor
<br /> lighting, and conveyor systems in our distribution centers that turn off in response to
<br /> inactivity, and "smart" HVAC systems that adjust according to business hours and seasonal
<br /> temperatures. We are also working with our third-party shipping and logistics partners to
<br /> develop transportation management systems and delivery schedules that help them increase
<br /> their own energy efficiency, which helps to reduce our transportation-related emissions.
<br /> Currently, approximately 98 percent of our U.S. shipments are delivered by carriers enrolled
<br /> in the U.S. EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership, which helps companies advance supply
<br /> chain sustainability by measuring, benchmarking, and improving freight transportation
