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.
"We continue to improve emissions intensity, both of Fastenal and our customers. Fastenal’s core strategy
involves helping our customers’ supply chains become more resource-efficient, which naturally aligns with
the environmental priorities of our stakeholders. This starts with our own supply chain, where structural
changes in both our physical footprint and the use of vehicle fuel have led to greater efficiency."

"Fastenal’s core belief in people – that each individual possesses the potential to achieve great things – has helped us weather the labor market strains. This belief is what inspires us to invest in robust training and career development programs for employees. It’s also why we remain committed to promotion from within. Both are keys to unlocking the full creativity and talent of our ‘Blue Team.’"
