Waste & Hazardous Materials Management
Waste and materials management is important for every company. Since we sell products and have a signi�cant operational infrastructure, we need to monitor and ensure the safe and correct disposal of waste that we produce. Product quality and safety concerns itself with health and safety risks to end users. As a distributor of auto parts, we source our products from reputable vendors known for their robust quality assurance programs, many of which are independently audited and assure that the products we sell are safe for their intended and prescribed use. This material issue addresses our supply chain. The sources from which we procure products can have a signi�cant environmental and social impact, both for us and for every client who purchases products from us. We are a company of a considerable size with a com- mensurate responsibility to conduct business in an ethical manner. We must uphold the pillars of a free market by not engaging in behavior that would give us an unfair advantage.

In addition to applying SASB guidance, we have incorporated the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our reporting framework. The SDGs are a set of 17 goals set by the UN in 2015 as part of a 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Similar to the SASB materiality framework, SDGs help us identify goals we can advance, evaluate existing contributions and plan for future enhancements. For this report, we have identi�ed �ve SASB-aligned SDGs; the table below demonstrates how they in�uence each other. We used these �ve SDGs to help set several sustainability targets in this report, further explained in the following pages. Material Issue Multiline & Specialty Retailers & Distribution Auto Parts
