At WEX, we bring our commitment to corporate sustainability to life through the use of data-driven insights, technology solutions, deep expertise, and results-oriented programs. We work every day to simplify the business of running a business. Our corporate sustainability strategy follows suit, built on the understanding that we must simplify complex issues to address them effectively. Our sustainability efforts play a crucial role in driving environmental innovation, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing the health and wellbeing of communities, customers, and employees.

Taking action that benefits people, communities, and the planet
WEX’s corporate sustainability strategy is organized around four core pillars – People and Culture, Environmental Innovation, Environmental Stewardship, and Social Impact – underpinned by our key governance practices.
- People and Culture: The skills and talents of our diverse, global employee base are the engine of business success. To support well-being and foster collaboration, we prioritize a supportive, engaged culture that allows employees to bring their authentic selves to work every day.
- Environmental Innovation: As the energy transition progresses, we help customers prepare for and operate mixed fleets, offering solutions for EV fleet integration, hybrid vehicle management, and operational efficiency—all built on our history of innovation in fleet management.
- Environmental Stewardship: To minimize our corporate environmental impact, we prioritize operational and energy efficiency. We employ a variety of strategies to limit carbon emissions and regularly measure our performance to track progress.
- Social Impact: We aim to improve the well-being of our employees, customers, partners, and the communities in which we operate through both the solutions we offer and our philanthropic endeavors.”
