A LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO

At Graybar, we believe being a good corporate

citizen is simply the right thing to do.
Through our efforts, we can encourage and inspire success
in our work and our communities.
As employee owners, we make decisions with a long-term
view in mind. We have a unique and personal responsibility:
To each other and to the Company.
To our customers.
To our communities where we live and work.
Holding ourselves accountable for delivering results in these
three areas is something Graybar takes seriously whether
were working with our customers and suppliers to contribute
to a sustainable society or providing an atmosphere in which
our employees learn, grow and prosper.
By aligning our corporate social responsibility efforts with our
core values, we can create a better future for our company,
our communities and our planet.
Given increased pressures on natural resources and the
need to protect the environment, Graybar will continue to
provide valuable solutions to our customers by innovating
with energy-efficient and sustainable products.
We also want to have a positive impact locally making
connections with those in every city where we have employ-
ees and operations and giving back in meaningful ways
based on local needs.
Ultimately, we strive to make Graybar a place where people
want to work, a company with which people want to do busi-
ness, and a corporate citizen that helps our communities thrive.
And while these efforts are not new for Graybar, were excited
to bring everything weve been doing together in this sum-
mary. As part of our long-term view, we plan to share new
information and results on a regular basis and continually
refine our goals to support changing business conditions.

corporate responsibility and sustainability fit into our
company vision, culture, priorities, future goals
and our day-to-day life at Graybar.

Building a Better Tomorrow
Through Sustainable Solutions

Given Graybars roots in science, technology and electricity, its not

surprising that we have integrated sustainable philosophies into our business
practices. We set our sights on long-term goals that make the Company
stronger and healthier for future generations, instead of chasing short-term
gains or passing fads.

Because we are an employee-owned company, every effort IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY

must support the financial health of the business. Making
smart financial decisions is part of our commitment as
employee owners, and positions us as a solid company
our customers can count on for years to come.
This same attitude toward choosing financially beneficial
environmental investments also guides how we help custom-
ers prioritize their sustainability goals.
Graybars sustainability commitments cover three areas:
Responsible stewardship of our resources
Reducing our impact on the environment
Providing sustainable solutions in the marketplace
A two-tier team spearheads Graybars internal sustainability
approach.
G
 raybar began retrofitting its own district and branch
facilities with more energy-efficient lighting in 2006.
Locations were required to analyze potential savings
and identify federal rebates to support the transition.
W
 e have since retrofitted more than 180 locations.
Combined with our other energy-saving initiatives, this
has resulted in a 24 percent decrease in energy usage
since 2006.
G
 raybar is also aligning locations with the ENERGY
STAR program. ENERGY STAR provides a framework
that enables Graybar to compare the
energy efficiency potential of existing
properties against similar spaces
across the nation, then establishes
action plans and tracks success.

T he Sustainability Committee, comprised of senior

leaders from various departments, evaluates ideas,
sets overall policy and directs the deployment of
sustainable initiatives companywide.
Graybars Green Team includes a cross-section of
employees from various departments and disci-
plines, including operations, sales and marketing,
supply chain management and human resources.
The Green Team conducts research, develops
sustainable recommendations and shares inno-

T he following Graybar locations have earned ENERGY
STAR certification: Austell, Ga.; Belleville, Mich.;
Billings, Mont.; Columbia, S.C.; Duluth, Minn.; Fresno,
Calif.; Green Bay, Wis.; Jefferson City, Mo.; Joliet,

Youngstown, Ohio, and the Companys Corporate
headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. We plan to certify
additional locations in the future.
Data centers also consume a considerable amount of
energy to operate and keep equipment cool. Graybars
IT team configured our data center to improve air-
flow and energy efficiency. This reconfiguration also
enhances equipment performance and reliability.
IMPROVING DISTRIBUTION
Since we deliver products to more than 130,000 customers
across North America, reducing mileage and engine idling
time can lower emissions and fuel consumption.
Graybar began using an integrated distribution and pack-
age tracking software system in 2008. The software helps
drivers map out more efficient distribution routes, which also
improves on-time delivery.
 raybar continually integrates more fuel-efficient vehicles

into its sales fleet as they become available. This helps us
save fuel and reduce our impact on the environment.
Graybars Tucson Branch is the first in
Company history to be built to Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design
standards (LEED). This 55,000 square-foot,
state-of-the-art facility was LEED Gold
certified in September 2012 and serves
as a way to showcase intelligent energy
solutions to our customers.
DECREASING WASTE
Graybar reinforces the role that each employee plays in
our sustainability efforts through programs specifically aimed
at reducing waste.
In 2011, our corporate employees piloted a single-
stream recycling program, which diverts approximately
65 percent of our trash from landfills each year.

implement waste-reduction programs for their facilities.

deposited electronically, which cuts paper
waste and saves employees time. It also requires
no physical delivery and is more secure.
Weve tried to approach sustainability in a way thats true
to who we are, said Larry Giglio, Senior Vice President,
Operations. As a historic, employee-owned company, the
things we introduce into the business must be beneficial for
the long term. By making ourselves stronger, we can better
help others, and drive change on a broader scale.
BREAKING NEW GROUND
When possible, building new, company-owned locations
gives Graybar the opportunity to integrate more extensive
green practices.

 According to the Energy Savings

upgrades represent an average return
of 45 percent and a payback in as little
as two years.

We are proud of the strides we have taken as

a company in the area of sustainability, and
are committed to growing our business and work-
ing to the customers advantage through Graybar
PowerSmart.
BILL MANSFIELD, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, SALES AND MARKETING

In May 2012, we opened a new facility in Tucson, Ariz. Graybar
constructed the building using internationally recognized
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) standards, developed by the U.S.
Green Building Council. The property was
awarded LEED Gold certification, and enables
us to showcase many of our energy-efficient
products.
The facility includes a number of technologically advanced
products distributed by Graybar, including:
100 percent motion-activated warehouse lighting,
with efficient, high-output fluorescent lamps to
reduce energy.

BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR CUSTOMERS
Given Graybars internal initiatives and extensive energy-
efficient solutions our Company is uniquely positioned to
provide customers with effective ways to reduce their costs
and increase the long-term sustainability of their facilities.
We work to our customers advantage with the Graybar
PowerSmart platform, saving energy, time and money for
companies operating existing facilities such as health care,
retail, office and hospitality spaces.
Graybar PowerSmart teams specialize in developing custom-
ized plans to yield energy savings and return on investment.
One of the primary benefits of Graybar PowerSmart is that the
platform is scalable customers can implement immediate
technologies, while preparing for future upgrades.

The Green Challenge
Graybar has participated in the St. Louis Regional
Chambers Green Business Challenge program,
in conjunction with the Missouri Botanical Garden,
since 2010. The St. Louis challenge is a part of a
national pilot to improve sustainability, which also
includes Denver, Colo., Portland, Ore., and Silicon
Valley, Calif.
Graybar adapted the Green
Business Challenge and
introduced our own inter-
nal Graybar Green Challenge in 2013. Through this
program, locations earn points for a wide variety of
local sustainability initiatives.
Efforts focus on conducting sustainable outreach
and education, reducing waste and water consump-
tion, and boosting energy efficiency. In addition, the
program establishes expectations for the purchase
of ENERGY STAR appliances over other options,
performing Graybar PowerSmart assessments,
expanding recycling programs and more. In its first
year, were proud to have achieved 100 percent
participation, with 43 locations reaching the goal
of 80 percent of the total points.
When we think about stewardship
of resources, we consider both the
environmental and the economic
impact. We look for opportunities
to help customers improve their
facilities in a way that reduces
overall energy consumption and
supports their business objectives.
We expect energy and sustainability
to be important priorities moving
forward, and Graybar PowerSmart
can give our customers the per-
formance they need, while also
helping them save energy.

Building a Brighter Future
Where We Live and Work
Businesses thrive in vibrant and healthy communities. Thats why at
Graybar, we strive to do our part to strengthen neighboring areas through
meaningful charitable contributions and volunteerism. We align our
philanthropic efforts with the interests of our employees, customers and
suppliers, as well as the needs of people near our districts and branches.
Through our foundation and corporate giving programs, we
actively contribute to more than 75 charities and non-profits
nationwide.
Were a local business, so most of our community engage-
ment takes place at a local level, said Beverly Propst, Senior
Vice President, Human Resources. We prefer to support orga-
nizations where our employees are already involved. When
employees ask us to support these organizations, we try to
say yes whenever possible.
Supporting education has always been a priority at Graybar,
since it helps us build a better workforce for tomorrow and
aligns with our own internal training programs. When employ-
ees donate to higher learning institutions including their
alma mater we match their commitment.
In 2011, Graybar created Graybar CARES (Community,
Awareness, Responsibility, Education and Service) as a
8 G R AY B A R C O R P O R AT E S O C I A L R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y
platform for employees, customers and suppliers to work
together and give back to our communities. We recognize
employee efforts and share events taking place across the
country through the Outlook, our quarterly employee magazine,
social media and external news releases. Through Graybar
CARES efforts, more than $260,000 was raised in 2013.
Early in 2014, Graybar raised more than $116,000 for charity.
TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN
As an employee-owned company, we also believe its import-
ant to support our fellow Graybar employees in times of
unexpected hardship.
The Graybar Family Foundation, an independently run, non-
profit organization, provides confidential, immediate support
to Graybar employees who have a sudden need for reasons
beyond their control, such as damage from a natural disaster
or a medical emergency.
Many employees and retirees choose to make donations to
the Graybar Family Foundation in honor of special occa-
sions, in memory of family members or simply to support
the mission of the organization. Customers and suppliers
are also encouraged to donate.
For the 2013 spring training conference, Graybar districts, delegates and
suppliers took part in the Graybar CARES fundraising and teambuilding
challenge to help raise money for their respective charities. The Company
raised a total of $144,000 with the California District coming out on top.
Graybar awarded the district with an additional $5,000 to donate to their
charity of choice, Homes for Our Troops, which builds homes adapted
for disabled veterans.

A Foundation of Ownership

As one of the largest employee-owned companies in North America, Graybar

has a distinct perspective on financial stewardship and how we do business.
Were proud to be employee-owned for more than 80 years and we place great
value on our employee owners. But for us, employee ownership is about more
than owning stock its a mindset that shapes the way we work every day.

Were compelled to be accountable and take responsibility
for our results, because as employee owners, we all benefit
when the Company does well. For this reason, Graybars
employees serve as the key ingredient to the Companys
long-term success.
To help our employees understand how they can make a dif-
ference, we strive to communicate openly and transparently
about the state of our business. We stay connected through
all-employee web conferences, monthly branch meetings,
an employee web portal and employee surveys. Through
these channels, we discuss our goals, achievements and
challenges, and collaborate on how we can meet the chang-
ing needs of our customers with innovative services and
solutions.
By holding ourselves and each other accountable, combined
with a workplace that strives for financial and personal
success for employees, we create an environment in which
we can better serve our customers.
Employee ownership is an exclusive privilege available only
to eligible Graybar employees and retirees. Each year, eligible
employees can choose to purchase Graybar stock. The share
price of Graybar stock has not fluctuated. Since 1941, Graybar
has paid a cash dividend of at least 10 percent annually, and
stock dividends have been issued 31 times. From 2009 to
2013, our shareholders earned an extraordinary 24.1 percent
annual return on their investment.
Thanks to our ownership culture and
career development programs, Graybars
retention rate is well above the
wholesale distribution industry. In fact,
49 percent of our employees have more
than 10 years with the Company.

THE GRAYBAR ADVANTAGE

We want Graybar to be recognized as a great place to
work. To continue achieving that goal means serving as a
profitable, progressive business that provides employees
with long-term career growth and financial opportunities
to achieve a high quality of life both while working and
into retirement. We do this through offering employee
benefit programs and an employee stock purchase plan
that helps employees plan well, invest well and live well.

Part of maintaining our position as a great place to work
means operating with employee safety in mind. Our team is
committed to providing a workplace free of hazards, reducing
accidents and injuries while enhancing our productivity for
customers.

To track progress, we share monthly reports on safety data

addition to internal year-over-year benchmarks, we measure
Graybar against the industry by comparing recorded work-
place injuries through the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). In terms of safety, were proud to
be in the top 10 percent of companies in the wholesale and
distribution industry.
We constantly look for ways to improve our safety perfor-
mance through education, process improvements and the
use of tools and technology. Some of the areas we focus on
include: proper handling of hazardous materials, defensive
driving for our truck drivers, safe lifting in the warehouses
and the use of personal protective equipment.

to sustainability is an expression of our companys
core values, particularly our long-term view. We
believe long-term success is more important than
