Monro, Inc. released its third-annual report dedicated to how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are integrated into its corporate decision making and strategy. The publication, “2023 ESG Report,” covers efforts for fiscal year 2023., the company says.
The document highlights the actions Monro is taking every day to create an inclusive and thriving culture for its teammates, deliver world-class service for its guests, positively impact the communities where it operates, and make sustainable decisions for the environment, according to the company.

Monro says the report addresses its recent progress and notable highlights:
- Enhanced its teammates’ experience by digitizing workflow processes, introducing a new, formalized safety program, and increasing new hire training.
- Significantly reduced the number of Monro-owned cars and delivery vehicles on the road as the company’s distribution strategy shifted to better meet guest needs.
