Ferguson’s culture is deeply rooted in our commitment to take care of our associates, our customers and the community. We build long-lasting, purposeful partnerships, providing more than just a product or a donation. At Ferguson, we want to create a future everyone is proud of. Purpose-driven and never done, we push each other to be our best selves and the best company for our associates, partners and customers. Because while the world changes, what we stand for will not.
  • Ferguson Cares

    Ferguson Cares is part of the company’s overall Sustainability program and seeks to build partnerships with transformational nonprofit organizations within its five key focus areas of:

     

     

    • Hunger

  • NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

    Ferguson proudly serves as a national partner with DIGDEEP, Homes for Our Troops and mikeroweWORKS Foundation, as part of our mission to better the communities we live and work.

DIGDEEP

Roughly 1.6 million Americans don't have hot and cold running water, a bathtub or shower or a working flush toilet. Millions more don't have clean water that's safe to drink. DIGDEEP is the only organization in the United States working to change that. And now, we are too.

Ferguson Cares

Homes for Our Troops

Homes for Our Troops builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post – 9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.
