Providing a selection of sustainable products
When it comes to climate change and sustainable development, there’s no space for half measures.
That’s why, as a global distribution expert in the energy world, Rexel is reaffirming its commitment and is launching the Sustainable Selection. An informed selection of responsible products and solutions to help meet your expectations and anticipate regulatory changes.
A selection that's demanding today, and even more demanding tomorrow.
As a historical partner in electrification and energy efficiency, we constantly strive to make your activity easier, more efficient and more sustainable. Today, we are accelerating our efforts with our Sustainable Selection to offer you the most responsible products (with least impact on the planet, respecting ethical values and contributing to energy transition).
We are at the start of the journey, and we will aim ever higher in our selection criteria in complete transparency to help you make the right choice from among our range of products and brands.
It couldn't be easier: when you search for products in the Rexel webshop, you will see the Sustainable Selection icon on all eligible products. The same logo can also be found on the product page, where you will discover the satisfied requirements that led to the product being selected.
This marker helps you identify our selection of products that meet your needs in terms of sustainability and products that make the energy transition happen.

Supplier engagement and responsible sourcing are critical pillars of Rexel’s Sustainable Future Selection. That is why our selection only considers suppliers who have signed the Rexel Sustainable Supplier Charter. This charter states the commitments required by Rexel from its suppliers, service providers and subcontractors, in terms of ethics, respect for human rights, protection of employees' rights, respect for the environment and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It is thus the cornerstone of lasting and trust-based commercial relationships between Rexel and its suppliers.
By engaging suppliers and partners in sustainability initiatives, Rexel can influence and promote sustainable practices across the entire value chain. We are only at the start of our journey, and we will progressively raise our standards in the selection of our suppliers with more demanding commitments. This integrated approach promotes long-term viability, fosters stakeholder trust, and contributes to a more resilient and responsible business ecosystem.
The Rexel Group aims to have 80% of its supplier base sign the charter by the end of 2023.
The Energy transition is necessary to fight climate change due to the significant role that energy production and consumption play in greenhouse gas emissions, the primary drivers of global warming. Buildings are responsible for roughly 40% of emissions globally, when considering building materials and operating emissions*.
Energy renovation of buildings is a major challenge in the energy transition. Rexel has opted for a pragmatic framework to move from commitment to action , translating into a selection of products and technologies that make buildings and activities more energy-efficient: LED lighting, renewable energies (solar and wind), heat pump solutions, smart building solutions for energy optimization (all the communication technologies that help to automatically adapt the amount of heating, lighting and/or energy consumption to occupancy levels at any given moment or to the strict minimum).
Here again, we will progressively adapt our selection to integrate the most efficient technologies available and remain in step with the regulations in force.

Consumers often rely on well-known and established eco-labels as a source of information when making sustainable purchasing decisions. A third-party eco-label is considered a trusted source if it provides an independent and credible assessment of a products=s environmental performance. These labels are objective and independent , based on transparent criteria and standards with a robust certification process.
There is a long list of eco-labels in the energy sector. Rexels Sustainable Future Selection considers only a selection of the most relevant ones, considering the organization expertise behind it, the qualification level for the environmental performance, its geographical and product scope of application, together with its reputation and recognition within relevant industries and consumer circles.
Examples of labels (non exhaustive) :
The list of accepted eco-labels will be progressively extended upon the decision of an internal sustainability expert committee.

Our Sustainable Selection is a progressive and continuous program that we will continue to implement in the coming years by reinforcing our criteria according to four categories that we have identified to address environmental and social challenges.
Contribution to the customers transition: saved energy, smart systems, sobriety
As the energy of the future and a powerful lever in the fight against climate change, electricity is accelerating the sustainable transformation of communities and energy uses. Faced with the challenge of the energy transition, Rexel shares a major responsibility with all electricity industry shareholders. As a promoter of energy management services and solutions, Rexel places the energy transition at the heart of its value creation strategy, confirming both its ambition and its commitment to building a sustainable future.
Alignment with circular economy principles: durability, reparability, recyclability
Longevity, repairability and recyclability are the key factors that will guarantee the long-term sustainability of the products we sell. Our aim is therefore to promote circular products contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient economy by reducing the consumption of raw materials, and promoting the reuse and recycling of materials, and ultimately complying with future regulations for a resilient world.
Impact on the environment and society over the full lifecycle: carbon emission, resource consumption
From one end of the value chain to the other, we want to be in a position to reduce our carbon emissions, as well as those of our partners, customers, and end users. In this respect, one of Rexel’s priorities is to act as a guide and advisor for our customers. This is our role in order to facilitate the adoption of low-carbon solutions and address climate change.
Monitoring benefits and risks along the value chain: resilience, social benefits, living wage, ethics, compliance
Guaranteeing efficient and enduring sustainability requires a perfect vision along the entire value chain.
As a global distributor, Rexel continually influences and promotes sustainable practices across the entire value chain.
accelerating our advisory role over the coming years, at the crossroads between customers and manufacturers
