real priority. To meet the commitments
made under the Paris Agreement on
climate change, Rexel offers its
customers products that accelerate the
energy transition, reduce its own
environmental footprint, and encourage
all its stakeholders to commit to the
low-energy transition.

Rexel measures and precisely controls
the energy performance of its sites.

in a context of rapid changes
in legislation and depletion of natural
resources. Rexel therefore seeks

it generates while at the same time
recycling the waste it produces.
