Living Our Values
We are of the strong belief that success is more than what the balance sheet shows. It’s not what we do, but how we do it, that defines our success. We are a values-driven organization and we have incorporated these values into every aspect of how we conduct our business.
To further pursue our long-standing commitment to being good corporate citizens, the company has committed resources to execute an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiative. As in every part of our business, our ESG initiative is being guided by our values, a thoughtful strategy, and authentic action. You can learn more about our ESG initiative here.
Being a good corporate citizen is systemic; it comes from top-down and bottom-up, and emanates from every segment, division and department in the company. Our efforts are ongoing, we never think we’ve arrived at an endpoint. We know we always have opportunity to improve.
Citizenship
Our social mission is to empower doers around the world to build a better future.
WD-40 Company’s citizenship program is a strategic expression of our social mission—grounded in our people-first culture, core values, and brand purpose. Guided by our commitment to building a better future, the program is anchored in three pillars: training, preparation, and restoration. Together, these pillars reinforce our purpose, support our 2030 strategy, and advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in meaningful ways.
