PROXY STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Arrow is a global technology solutions and services provider. Arrow has one of the world’s broadest portfolios of product offerings available from leading electronic components and enterprise computing solutions suppliers, coupled with a range of services, solutions, and tools that help industrial and commercial customers introduce innovative products, reduce time to market, and enhance overall competitiveness.
Arrow believes that economic success comes from more than just financial growth. As technology’s benefits reach more people, so expands Arrow’s addressable market, promoting a healthy, cyclical economy. Among other accolades, Arrow received a perfect score of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index and was designated a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality,” and was again named to Fortune's “World’s Most Admired Companies” list for 2020, topping the “Wholesalers: Electronics and Office Equipment” category for the eighth consecutive year.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK
Arrow is dedicated to its environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) efforts. By using environmentally friendly technologies, avoiding emissions, reducing waste, and using energy saving solutions, Arrow is reducing its business operation’s environmental footprint.
Arrow’s social efforts are managed through our Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) program, which guides today’s innovators to a better tomorrow. Meaningful commitment to CSR, including purposeful community engagement, contributes to long-term value for our shareholders. It also contributes to employee engagement, resulting in a stronger company.
Arrow’s commitment to advancing human capital as core to our talent strategy is evidenced through our people, work, and rewards. This, too, contributes to long-term value for our shareholders as it engages employees in our purpose: making the benefits of technology accessible to all.
Arrow is committed to responsible corporate governance, which promotes the long-term interests of our shareholders and strengthens board and management accountability.
Arrow has been expanding and elevating our oversight and management of ESG matters. We updated our committee charters to include reviewing ESG related matters. See “The Board and Its Committees – Committees” for more details on each committee’s responsibilities and oversight.
Arrow reports to several third-party reporting agencies and has adopted enhanced ESG reporting, leveraging leading external frameworks including, beginning this year, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”).
