Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant accounting policies	2. Significant accounting policies Basis of consolidation and presentation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are consolidated if the Company has a controlling financial interest, which may exist based on ownership of a majority of the voting interest, or based on the Company's determination that it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial data presented in these consolidated financial statements are expressed in US dollars. Proceeds and payments under the revolving credit facilities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, which were previously reported net in the consolidated statements of cash flows, are now presented separately to conform to the current year presentation. Additionally, certain other immaterial amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries participate in a multi-currency, notional cash pooling arrangement with a third-party bank provider to manage global liquidity requirements (the "Notional Cash Pool"). Under the Notional Cash Pool, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries is pledged as security against the overdraft balances of other participating subsidiaries, providing legal rights of offset. As a result, the balances are presented on a net basis within cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $52.9 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $69.8 million less a bank overdraft balance of $16.9 million. As of December 31, 2021, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $43.2 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $146.0 million less a bank overdraft balance of $102.8 million. Trade accounts receivable, net and allowance for doubtful accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the trade accounts receivable. Collectability of the trade accounts receivable balance is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined based on the delinquency of customer accounts, the financial condition of individual customers, past collections experience and future economic expectations. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Balance as of January 1 $ 15.8 $ 17.2 $ 12.9 Provision for credit losses 5.1 6.9 9.3 Write-offs (7.7) (8.1) (4.4) Recoveries — — 0.1 Dispositions — — (0.5) Foreign exchange (0.1) (0.2) (0.2) Balance as of December 31 $ 13.1 $ 15.8 $ 17.2 Inventories Inventories consist primarily of products purchased for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined based on the weighted average cost method and includes purchase price from producers net of rebates received, inbound freight and handling, and direct labor and other costs incurred to blend and repackage product, but excludes depreciation expense. Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Buildings 10-50 years Main components of tank farms 5-40 years Containers 2-15 years Machinery and equipment 5-20 years Furniture, fixtures and others 5-20 years Information technology 3-10 years The Company evaluates the useful life and carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the asset group's carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value. Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company’s reporting units are USA, EMEA, Canada, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. For each of the reporting units, the Company has the option to perform either the qualitative or quantitative test. In the event a reporting unit fails the qualitative test, it is required to perform the quantitative test. The quantitative impairment test considers both the income approach and the market approach to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value. Significant assumptions include forecasted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), market segment growth rates and discount rates based on a reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will recognize an impairment for the lesser of the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value or the reporting unit’s goodwill carrying value. As of October 1, 2022, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment using the qualitative test and concluded that fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units. The Company's intangible assets have finite lives and are amortized over their respective useful lives of 2 to 20 years using the estimated pattern of economic benefit. Intangible assets are tested for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. Short-term financing Short-term financing includes bank overdrafts and short-term lines of credit. Income taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carryforwards. The effect on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the revised tax rate is enacted. Income tax effects are released from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the period the underlying item expires. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, forecasted and appropriate character of future taxable income, its experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and the ability to carry back losses to prior years. The Company is subject to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), which is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company treats taxes due on future US inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred. The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits through an assessment of whether a position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on its technical merits. The Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense and warehousing, selling and administrative expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included in other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") was enacted into US law. Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate minimum tax, a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, and creates and extends certain tax-related energy incentives. Management does not expect the tax-related provisions of the IRA to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Defined benefit pension plans The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans and recognizes actuarial gains or losses, known as "mark to market" adjustments, as of the December 31 measurement date. The mark to market adjustments primarily include gains and losses resulting from changes in discount rates and the difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Settlement gains and losses are recognized in the period in which the settlement occurs. The fair value of plan assets is used to calculate the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost. Leases At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease within the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. The lease liability is measured at the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The lease liability includes payments allocated to lease components, while payments allocated to non-lease components are expensed as incurred for all asset classes. When a contract excludes an implicit rate, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including lease term and geographic region. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset includes the initial measurement of the lease liability, fixed lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date and initial direct costs incurred by the Company and excludes lease incentives. Variable lease payments, such as payments based on an index rate or usage, are expensed as incurred and excluded from lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Legal costs Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Environmental liabilities Environmental liabilities are recognized for probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with environmental remediation. Incremental direct costs of the investigation, remediation effort and post-remediation monitoring are included in the estimated environmental liabilities. The Company discounts environmental liabilities if the liability and the respective payment streams are fixed or reliably determinable. Expected cash outflows related to environmental remediation for the next 12 months and amounts for which the timing is uncertain are reported as current within other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion of environmental liabilities is reported within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Environmental liabilities are not reduced for potential insurance recoveries. Insurance recoveries are recorded when it is probable that a recovery will be realized and are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Environmental remediation expenses and insurance recoveries are included within warehousing, selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, unless associated with disposed operations, in which case such expenses are included in other operating expenses, net. Revenue recognition Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring a good or providing a service. Since the term between invoicing and payment is less than a year, revenue is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. Revenue for bill-and-hold arrangements is recognized if the Company has a substantive customer request, the materials are properly segregated and designated as belonging to the customer, materials are ready to be transferred to the customer and the Company is unable to direct the materials to another customer. Chemical distribution Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied, which generally occurs at a point in time upon completion of the shipping process as indicated by the terms of the contract. Net sales include product sales and billings for freight and handling charges, net of discounts, expected returns, customer price and volume incentives and sales or other revenue-based taxes. The Company estimates customer price and volume incentives and expected customer returns based on historical experience. Services The Company recognizes revenue from services as they are performed and economic value is transferred to customers. Services provided to customers are primarily related to waste management and warehousing. Crop sciences The Company recognized revenue when control of products transferred to customers. The amount of consideration recorded varied due to price movements and rights granted to customers to return product. Customer payment terms often extended through a growing season, which was up to six months. Beginning in 2021, crop sciences is no longer a revenue stream due to actions taken by the Company within the Canada segment in 2020. Foreign currency Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. The net exchange gains and losses arising from translation are reflected as a component of foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Transaction gains and losses are recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Transaction gains and losses relating to intercompany borrowings that are an investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected as a component of foreign currency translation within AOCI. Stock-based compensation The Company measures the total amount of employee stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of each award. Expense is recognized for each separately vesting tranche on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the shorter of the service period of the award or the period until the employees' retirement eligibility date. The Company recognizes forfeitures when incurred. Fair value Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities have been determined using market information and valuation methodologies. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value and a net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient: Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuation in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3 Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable . NAV As a practical expedient, certain investments are measured based on the NAV per share (or equivalent) due to the absence of a readily available market price, and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate and cross currency swaps is determined by estimating the net present value of amounts to be paid under the agreement offset by the net present value of the expected cash inflows based on market rates and associated yield curves. Based on these valuation methodologies, these derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations within interest expense or other income (expense), net. Cash flows associated with derivative financial instruments are recognized in the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded to AOCI and are reclassified to earnings when the underlying forecasted transaction affects earnings. For contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the Company reassesses the probability of the underlying forecasted transactions occurring on a quarterly basis. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, all changes in fair value are recorded to earnings in the current period. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each period. The Company reflects common share equivalents relating to stock options, non-vested restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units in its computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, unless the effect of inclusion is anti-dilutive. The effect of dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10 "Government Assistance" (Topic 832) - "Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance" to increase the transparency of disclosures for government assistance and grants. The ASU requires annual disclosures pertaining to the types of received government assistance, accounting for the transactions and the related impacts on the reported financial results. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements and disclosures as the Company has not received significant government assistance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 "Reference Rate Reform" (Topic 848) "Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Topic 848 provides optional practical expedients and elections when accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of reference rates such as LIBOR, if certain criteria are met. The standard was effective upon issuance and the Company may apply the optional practical expedients and elections in Topic 848 prospectively through December 31, 2024. The Company adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of 2022, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements. Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805) – "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This ASU requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2023, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs" (Subtopic 405-50) - "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" to enhance the transparency of disclosure regarding supplier finance programs. The ASU requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Retrospective application of the guidance is required for all disclosures except rollforward information, which requires prospective application. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the standard on its disclosures.

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Impairment charges	5. Impairment charges The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Significant estimates include forecasted EBITDA, working capital, capital expenditures and discount rates. As the inputs for testing recoverability and determining fair value of the asset groups are largely based on management’s judgments and are not generally observable in active markets, the Company considers such inputs to be Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Year ended December 31, 2021 Throughout 2021, the Company announced the closure of certain operating facilities in the USA and Canada segments, which resulted in impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment, net of $3.0 million within the consolidated statements of operations. Year ended December 31, 2020 During 2020, the Company determined there was a more likely than not expectation that the industrial spill and emergency response businesses within the USA segment would be sold. The Company determined this to be an impairment triggering event, requiring the assessment of the recoverability of these long-lived asset groups. The Company tested the recoverability and determined the assets to be impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $15.5 million, consisting of $12.8 million of intangible assets, net and $2.7 million of property, plant and equipment, net, within the consolidated statements of operations. During 2020, the Company decided to cease further investment in, and seek to exit a contract related to certain technology assets, consisting of capitalized software and hardware components. This event represented an impairment triggering event requiring an impairment analysis within the Other segment. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $21.7 million, inclusive of non-cash and cash components of $19.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, relating to property, plant and equipment, net, within the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.0 million related to property, plant and equipment, net within the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2020. The impairment charges were in connection with the announced closure of certain operating facilities in the USA segment and the wind down of the Canadian Agriculture wholesale distribution business.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	7. Revenue The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by both geographic reportable segments and revenue contract types. Geographic reportable segmentation is pertinent to understanding the Company's revenues, as it aligns with how the Company reviews the financial performance of its operations. Revenue contract types are differentiated by the type of good or service the Company offers customers, since the contractual terms necessary for revenue recognition are unique to each of the identified revenue contract types. The following table disaggregates external customer net sales by major category: Year ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 USA Chemical distribution $ 7,247.3 $ 5,743.2 $ 4,698.1 Services 286.2 280.8 308.1 Total external customer net sales $ 7,533.5 $ 6,024.0 $ 5,006.2 EMEA Chemical distribution $ 2,064.6 $ 1,970.8 $ 1,695.8 Services 0.1 0.3 1.3 Total external customer net sales $ 2,064.7 $ 1,971.1 $ 1,697.1 Canada Chemical distribution $ 1,120.5 $ 919.2 $ 749.7 Crop sciences — — 315.1 Services — 10.8 45.9 Total external customer net sales $ 1,120.5 $ 930.0 $ 1,110.7 LATAM Chemical distribution $ 739.5 $ 598.5 $ 441.5 Services 17.1 11.9 9.5 Total external customer net sales $ 756.6 $ 610.4 $ 451.0 Consolidated Chemical distribution $ 11,171.9 $ 9,231.7 $ 7,585.1 Crop sciences — — 315.1 Services 303.4 303.8 364.8 Total external customer net sales $ 11,475.3 $ 9,535.5 $ 8,265.0 Deferred revenue Deferred revenues are recognized as contract liabilities when customers provide the Company with consideration prior to the Company satisfying its performance obligations and are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations are met. Deferred revenues relate to revenues that are expected to be recognized within one year and are recorded within other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenues as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $15.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods was $16.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Senior Term Loan Facilities In 2019, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to its Credit Agreement dated July 1, 2015 ("Credit Agreement"), which provided a Term B-5 Loan facility in an aggregate initial principal amount of $400 million that matures on July 1, 2026 (“Term B-5 Loan”). The Term B-5 Loan is payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the aggregate initial principal amount. The interest rate applicable to the Term B-5 Loan is based on, at the Company's option, (i) a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00% or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin of 2.00%. The Company can prepay the Term B-5 Loan in whole or part without penalty. In 2020, using the proceeds from the sale of the Environmental Sciences business, the Company repaid $174.0 million of previously incurred term loan debt. In 2021, to secure favorable interest rates and extend principal maturities, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to its Credit Agreement, which provided a Term B-6 Loan facility in an aggregate initial principal amount of $1.0 billion that matures on June 3, 2028 ("Term B-6 Loan"). The proceeds from the Term B-6 Loan and an incremental borrowing of $274.2 million under the North American ABL Facility were used to repay in full previously incurred term loan debt and satisfy related lending and refinancing fees. As a result of the issuance of the Term B-6 Loan and the repayment of the Term B-3 Loan, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million and debt refinancing costs of $6.9 million during the second quarter of 2021, both of which are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Term B-6 Loan is payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the aggregate initial principal amount beginning in September 2021. The interest rate applicable to the Term B-6 Loan is based on, at the Company's option, (i) a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00% or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin of 2.00% (in each case with a 0.25% step down based on the achievement of a specific leverage level). The Company can prepay the Term B-6 Loan in whole or part without penalty. ABL Facilities On October 27, 2022, the Company and certain of its US, Canadian and European subsidiaries entered into the Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (the "Senior ABL Facility"). The Senior ABL Facility amends and restates in full the amended and restated ABL facility entered into by the Company on February 28, 2019 ("North American ABL Facility"). In connection with the entry into the Senior ABL Facility, the Company terminated its existing European ABL Credit Agreement and the Euro ABL Facility thereunder. The Senior ABL Facility, which matures on October 27, 2027, provides a five-year senior secured ABL credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion ("Senior ABL Credit Facility") and a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million ("Senior ABL Term Loan"). Borrowing availability is determined by a borrowing base consisting of eligible inventory, eligible accounts receivable and cash of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Senior ABL Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments of 12.5% of the aggregate initial principal amount beginning in March 2026. The interest rates applicable to the Senior ABL Facility will be based on, at the Company's option, (i) with respect to the Senior ABL Term Loan, a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or a term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%, in each case with one 0.25% step down based on achievement of a specific leverage level and (ii) with respect to the Senior ABL Credit Facility, a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.125%, 0.25% or 0.375% or a term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.125%, 1.25% or 1.375%, with the margin in each case based on average combined testing availability. The applicable margin will be adjusted after the completion of each full fiscal quarter based upon the pricing grid in the Senior ABL Facility. The Senior ABL Facility contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. During 2021, the Company made a series of prepayments on the Canadian ABL term loan using the proceeds from the sale of the Canadian Agriculture services business and cash on hand, which resulted in the full extinguishment of the loan. Senior Unsecured Notes In 2019, the Company issued $500.0 million in Senior Unsecured Notes due December 1, 2027 (“2027 Senior Notes”), with a fixed interest rate of 5.125%. The Company can prepay the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or part at a premium on or after December 1, 2022 and without a premium on or after December 1, 2024. The Company repurchased $46.0 million of the 2027 Senior Notes in the open market during the second quarter of 2022, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Debt costs As a result of actions within its debt portfolio, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million and losses of $2.3 million and $1.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recognized no debt refinancing costs during the year ended December 31, 2022 and recognized debt refinancing costs of $7.0 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Borrowing availability and assets pledged as collateral Borrowing availability is determined based upon available qualifying collateral, as defined in the Senior ABL Facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's borrowing availability under the Senior ABL Facility was $675.2 million. Unused line fees were as follows: December 31, 2022 2021 $1.6 billion Senior ABL Credit Facility 0.250 % N/A $1.525 billion North American ABL Facility N/A 0.300 % €200 million Euro ABL Facility N/A 0.375 % The Senior ABL Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the loan parties' accounts receivable, inventory and cash as well as a second priority lien on substantially all other assets of the US subsidiary loan parties and other assets of certain European subsidiary loan parties in each case subject to various limitations and exceptions. In addition, 65% of the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries have been pledged as security. The Senior Term Loan Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the US operating and management subsidiaries and a second priority lien on such accounts receivable and inventory. The Company had assets pledged of approximately $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Debt covenants The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants. The Senior ABL Facility includes a springing fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0x, applicable only if availability is less than or equal to 10% of the borrowing capacity. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had availability in excess of the minimum borrowing capacity and therefore this financial covenant is not applicable. Other information The fair values of debt were based on current market quotes for similar borrowings and credit risk adjusted for liquidity, margins and amortization, as necessary, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair value Total long-term debt $ 2,465.8 $ 2,459.3 $ 2,265.0 $ 2,307.8 The Company is exposed to credit loss and loss of liquidity availability if the financial institutions or counterparties issuing the debt securities fail to perform. The Company minimizes exposure to these credit risks by dealing with a diversified group of investment grade financial institutions. The Company manages credit risk by monitoring the credit ratings and market indicators of credit risk of its lending counterparties, and does not anticipate counterparty non-performance.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee benefit plans	12. Employee benefit plans Defined benefit pension plans The Company sponsors defined benefit plans that provide pension benefits for employees upon retirement in certain jurisdictions including the US, Canada, United Kingdom and several other European countries. The US, Canada and United Kingdom defined benefit pension plans are closed to new entrants. United Kingdom buy-in contract Continuing the Company’s efforts to reduce retirement plan risk while delivering promised benefits to plan participants, the Trustees of the Univar Pension Scheme (1978) (“the UK Plan”) executed a buy-in contract in December 2021. The buy-in arrangement is an insurance contract providing substantially all future benefit plan payments to all UK Plan participants. As such, this transaction significantly mitigates volatility by removing investment, longevity, interest rate and inflation risk. However, the primary benefit obligation remains with the Company. The buy-in contract remains an asset of the UK Plan and is part of the plan's investment strategy. The UK Plan transferred substantially all of the Company’s UK pension plan assets to the insurer in exchange for an insurance contract at the effective date of the buy-in. The buy-in contract had a fair value of $241.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and is classified as a Level 3 investment. The projected benefit obligation of the UK Plan as of December 31, 2022 was $198.3 million, which was net of $19.4 million of prior service credits recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. US pension settlement In November 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an insurance company to purchase an irrevocable group annuity contract. The Company transferred US qualified pension plan liabilities of $72.6 million and plan assets of $67.7 million, resulting in a non-cash pre-tax settlement gain of $4.9 million. The Company expects to continue to consider future opportunities to prudently manage costs and risks of its global retirement plans. Future transactions could result in non-cash settlement or mark to market charges which may impact earnings and could be material to a given reporting period. The following table summarizes the Company’s defined benefit pension plans’ benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status: Domestic Foreign Total Year ended December 31, Year ended December 31, Year ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Change in projected benefit obligations: Projected benefit obligations at beginning of year $ 731.6 $ 774.9 $ 578.7 $ 649.8 $ 1,310.3 $ 1,424.7 Service cost — — 1.3 1.8 1.3 1.8 Interest cost 20.5 19.3 10.9 10.0 31.4 29.3 Benefits paid (37.1) (36.0) (24.1) (32.7) (61.2) (68.7) Plan amendments — — — (0.4) — (0.4) Settlements (72.6) — (2.9) — (75.5) — Actuarial gain (1) (172.6) (26.6) (169.5) (44.0) (342.1) (70.6) Foreign exchange and other — — (48.0) (5.8) (48.0) (5.8) Projected benefit obligations at end of year $ 469.8 $ 731.6 $ 346.4 $ 578.7 $ 816.2 $ 1,310.3 Change in the fair value of plan assets: Plan assets at beginning of year $ 562.9 $ 541.8 $ 625.1 $ 654.0 $ 1,188.0 $ 1,195.8 Actual return on plan assets (117.0) 44.3 (166.3) 5.6 (283.3) 49.9 Contributions by employer 13.7 12.8 3.4 4.5 17.1 17.3 Benefits paid (37.1) (36.0) (24.1) (32.7) (61.2) (68.7) Settlements (67.7) — (2.6) — (70.3) — Foreign exchange and other — — (56.8) (6.3) (56.8) (6.3) Plan assets at end of year 354.8 562.9 378.7 625.1 733.5 1,188.0 Funded status at end of year $ (115.0) $ (168.7) $ 32.3 $ 46.4 $ (82.7) $ (122.3) Accumulated benefit obligation $ 469.8 $ 731.6 $ 340.8 $ 568.3 $ 810.6 $ 1,299.9 (1) The actuarial gains for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were primarily due to changes in the discount rate assumptions utilized in measuring plan obligations.

These amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounts recorded in AOCI related to foreign defined benefit pension plans. The following table summarizes pre-tax amounts included in AOCI related to pension plan amendments: December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 Net prior service credit $ 18.9 $ 22.2 Actuarial assumptions The significant weighted average actuarial assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost (income) for the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows: Domestic Foreign December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at end of period: Discount rate 5.49 % 2.89 % 4.69 % 2.05 % Expected annual rate of compensation increase N/A N/A 1.97 % 1.87 % Domestic Foreign Year ended December 31, Year ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 Actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost (income) for the period: Discount rate 2.89 % 2.55 % 3.28 % 2.05 % 1.55 % 2.14 % Expected rate of return on plan assets 6.00 % 6.00 % 6.50 % 2.13 % 2.46 % 2.75 % Expected annual rate of compensation increase N/A N/A N/A 1.87 % 2.91 % 2.85 % Discount rates are used to measure benefit obligations and the interest cost component of net periodic benefit cost (income). The Company selects its discount rates based on the consideration of equivalent yields on high-quality fixed income investments at each measurement date. Discount rates are based on a benefit cash flow-matching approach and represent the rates at which the Company’s benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of the measurement date. For domestic defined benefit plans, the discount rates are based on a hypothetical bond portfolio approach. The hypothetical bond portfolio is constructed to comprise AA-rated corporate bonds whose cash flow from coupons and maturities match the expected future plan benefit payments. The discount rates for the foreign defined benefit plans are based on a yield curve approach. For plans in countries with a sufficient corporate bond market, the expected future benefit payments are matched with a yield curve derived from AA-rated corporate bonds, subject to minimum amounts outstanding and meeting other selection criteria. For plans in countries without a sufficient corporate bond market, the yield curve is constructed based on prevailing government yields and an estimated credit spread to reflect a corporate risk premium. The discount rate to value UK Plan liabilities continues to be set with reference to the yields on high quality corporate bonds. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects management’s expectations on long-term average rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the benefit obligations. The long-term rate of return assumptions are based on the outlook for equity and fixed income returns, with consideration of historical returns, asset allocations, investment strategies and premiums for active management when appropriate. Assumptions reflect the expected rates of return at the beginning of the year. Plan asset management Plan assets for defined benefit plans are invested in global equity, debt securities or insurance contracts through professional investment managers with the objective to achieve targeted risk adjusted returns and to maintain liquidity sufficient to fund current benefit payments. Each funded defined benefit plan has an investment policy that is administered by plan trustees with the objective of meeting targeted asset allocations based on the circumstances of that particular plan. The investment strategy followed by the Company varies by country depending on the circumstances of the underlying plan. Less mature plan benefit obligations are funded by using more equity securities as they are expected to achieve long-term growth while exceeding inflation. More mature plan benefit obligations are funded using a higher allocation of fixed income securities as they are expected to produce current income with limited volatility. The Company has adopted a dynamic investment strategy whereby as the plan funded status improves, the investment strategy is migrated to more liability matching assets, and return seeking assets are reduced. Risk management practices include the use of multiple asset classes for diversification purposes. Specific guidelines for each asset class and investment manager are implemented and monitored. As noted above, substantially all of the UK Plan assets were within a buy-in contract as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, subsequent to the transaction executed in December 2021. The weighted average target asset allocation for defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2022 was as follows: Domestic Foreign Asset category: Equity securities 45.0 % 11.0 % Debt securities 40.0 % 16.0 % Other 15.0 % 73.0 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % Plan asset valuation methodologies Plan asset Description of methodology Cash This represents cash at banks at fair value, reflected within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investment funds Fair values are based on the NAV of the units held at year end. The NAVs are based on the fair value of the underlying assets of the funds, less their liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding at the valuation date. The funds are traded on private markets that are not active, with unit prices based on observable (Level 2) or unobservable (Level 3) market data based on the fund’s underlying assets. Buy-in contract This represents the UK Plan buy-in contract assets. Fair values are based on initial pricing adjusted for changes in government and corporate bond yields, inflation, demographic assumptions and changes in participant data, and as such are considered Level 3 based on the significant unobservable inputs used in deriving the assets' fair values. Insurance contracts Fair values are based on the present value of the accrued benefit, and as such are considered Level 3 based on the significant unobservable inputs used in deriving the asset's fair values. Investments measured at NAV Investment in a real estate fund, which invests in real estate assets. The investment in properties by the real estate fund is carried at fair value, which is estimated based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date. The investment can be withdrawn quarterly, after a one hundred Fair value of plan assets The following table presents domestic plan assets categorized within the three-level fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash $ 2.8 $ — $ — $ 2.8 $ 4.3 $ — $ — $ 4.3 Investment funds (1) — 292.5 27.6 320.1 — 503.0 27.6 530.6 Subtotal $ 2.8 $ 292.5 $ 27.6 322.9 $ 4.3 $ 503.0 $ 27.6 534.9 Investments measured at NAV 31.9 28.0 Total $ 354.8 $ 562.9 (1) This category includes investments of 24.7% and 21.8% in US equities, 17.9% and 17.9% in non-US equities, 25.9% and 41.9% in US corporate bonds, 0.1% and 2.2% in non-US corporate bonds, 19.9% and 0.0% in US government bonds, 2.9% and 0.0% in non-US government bonds and 8.6% and 16.2% in other investments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Benefit payments Estimated future benefit payments are as follows: Defined benefit pension plans (in millions) Domestic Foreign Total 2023 $ 33.4 $ 22.4 $ 55.8 2024 34.0 22.8 56.8 2025 34.8 23.8 58.6 2026 35.3 23.8 59.1 2027 35.7 24.0 59.7 2028 through 2032 178.9 126.1 305.0 Defined contribution plans The Company provides defined contribution plans and had contribution expense of $52.9 million, $51.4 million and $43.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Multi-employer pension plans The Company contributes to certain multi-employer pension plans based on obligations arising from collective bargaining agreements. The risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: • Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by the Company may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. • If the Company stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. Similarly, the Company could be liable for underfunded obligations of other, departed employers. • If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multi-employer plans, it may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. A withdrawal liability will be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s participation in these plans for the annual period ended December 31, 2022 is outlined in the table below. The Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status is the most recently available and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the “red zone” are less than 65 percent funded, plans in the “yellow zone” are less than 80 percent funded and plans in the “green zone” are at least 80 percent funded. The “FIP/RP status pending/implemented” column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented. In addition to regular plan contributions, the Company may be subject to a surcharge if the plan is in the red zone. The “Surcharge imposed” column indicates whether a surcharge has been imposed on contributions to the plan. The last column lists the expiration date(s) of the collective bargaining agreement(s) (“CBA”) to which the plans are subject. Contributions may be required in future periods by the CBAs, statutory obligations or other contractual obligations. If the Company were to cease making contributions to these plans at one or more or all locations, it could trigger a withdrawal liability that could be material to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Calculating any such withdrawal liability depends on a number of factors that are out of the Company’s control and subject to change. A withdrawal liability represents an employer’s proportional share of the multi-employer plan’s unfunded vested benefits (“UVBs”). UVBs equal the value of non-forfeitable benefits owed by the plan, less the value of the plan’s assets. The value of assets and liabilities are determined using actuarial assumptions that reflect the actuary’s best estimate of anticipated UVBs for that employer. A significant portion of the Company's exposure historically resided with the eight facilities that participated in the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (“Central States Pension Fund”). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized its best estimate of a withdrawal liability of $31.2 million related to triggering events at all eight sites, culminating in the Company ceasing to participate in the Central States Pension Fund. Upon an agreed final funding assessment with the Central States Pension Fund, the Company will recognize any differences between the estimated and actual withdrawal liability. As of December 31, 2022, this balance is unchanged. The Company estimates its cash obligation to be approximately $1.9 million annually for each of the next 20 years. The net present value of the withdrawal liability was determined using a risk-free interest rate. Amounts associated with the withdrawal liability are included in other operating expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Additionally, the Company has approximately $4.9 million of foreign tax credits and capital loss carryforwards. The Company does not expect future earnings of the appropriate character of taxable income to allow it to utilize certain of these tax attributes in future years. Therefore, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $12.7 million on these tax attributes and other deferred tax assets. Foreign Tax Effects The Company earns a significant amount of its operating income outside of the US. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is indefinitely reinvested with respect to its US directly-owned subsidiary earnings. Therefore, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability on its investment in foreign subsidiaries. The Company is subject to US income tax on substantially all foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, while a significant portion of remaining foreign earnings are eligible for the dividends received deduction. As a result, a portion of any future repatriation of $628.8 million of undistributed earnings may be subject to US income tax, as well as state and local income taxes, withholding taxes and currency translation gains or losses. It is impracticable to calculate the exact amount. Additionally, gains and losses on any future taxable dispositions of US-owned foreign affiliates continue to be subject to US income tax. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The changes in unrecognized tax benefits included in other long-term liabilities, excluding interest and penalties, were as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Balance as of January 1 $ 40.1 $ 35.0 $ 1.1 Increase for tax positions of current year — 19.4 16.4 Increase for tax positions of prior years 0.4 0.9 17.8 Decrease for tax positions of prior years — (14.4) — Reductions due to the statute of limitations expiration (0.1) (0.7) (0.3) Reductions due to settlement with taxing authorities (0.3) — — Foreign exchange — (0.1) — Balance as of December 31 $ 40.1 $ 40.1 $ 35.0 As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were $40.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company files income tax returns in the US and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, tax years are open for review by taxing authorities for a period of three years. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has limited audit activity for tax years back to 2008 through 2010, as well as for the periods 2012 through 2020. The Company continues to believe its positions are supportable; however, due to uncertainties in any tax audit outcome, the Company’s estimates of the ultimate settlement of uncertain tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ from the estimates. The Company recognized $2.4 million, $0.1 million and $0.6 million of interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had $4.3 million and $2.0 million of interest and penalties reflected within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share repurchase program and stock-based compensation	14. Share repurchase program and stock-based compensation Share repurchase program On November 1, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to $500.0 million of its outstanding common stock, which expires on October 27, 2026. On November 1, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved an increase in the amount of authorized repurchases under the program of $1.0 billion, resulting in a total authorized repurchase amount of $1.5 billion. The program does not require the repurchase of any minimum number of shares and can be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may purchase shares from time to time at the discretion of management through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated or other structured share repurchase programs, or other means. On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into an ASR with Goldman to repurchase $200.0 million of its common stock. On November 3, 2022, the Company paid $200.0 million to Goldman and received an initial delivery of approximately 5.8 million shares of its common stock, which represented 75% of the notional value of the ASR divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 1, 2022. The final number of shares repurchased under the ASR was based on the daily volume-weighted average prices for Rule 10b-18 eligible transactions in the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount and subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the ASR. In February 2023, the final settlement was determined to be an additional delivery of approximately 0.5 million shares of the Company's common stock from Goldman. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate purchase price of the ASR was recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, consisting of a $150.0 million increase in treasury stock to reflect the value of the initial share delivery and a $50.0 million decrease in additional paid-in capital pending final settlement of the ASR. The amount recorded in additional paid-in capital will be reclassified to treasury stock in the first quarter of 2023 in connection with the final settlement of the ASR. In addition to the ASR, the Company repurchased on the open market approximately 7.7 million shares for $209.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 and approximately 1.8 million shares for $50.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s remaining stock repurchase authorization under the program was approximately $1,040.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Stock-based compensation In May 2020, the Company replaced the Univar Inc. 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) with the Univar Solutions Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2017 Plan had no further awards granted and any available reserves under the 2017 Plan were terminated and not transferred to the 2020 Plan. There were no changes to the outstanding awards related to the 2017 Plan, the Univar Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan and Univar Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (together with the 2017 Plan and the 2020 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2020 Plan allows the Company to issue awards to employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards may be made in the form of stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, deferred share units or other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2022, there were 8.6 million shares authorized under the Plans. The Company generally issues authorized but previously unissued shares to satisfy stock option exercises and stock award vestings. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense within other operating expenses, net of $34.3 million, $25.4 million and $14.5 million, and a net tax benefit relating to stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Stock options Stock options expire ten years after the grant date and generally become exercisable over a three-year period or less, based on continued employment, with annual vesting. The exercise price of a stock option is determined based upon the fair value of the common stock at the time of each grant. Participants have no stockholder rights until the time of exercise. The following table reflects stock option activity under the Plans: Number of stock options Weighted-average exercise price Weighted-average remaining contractual term (in years) Aggregate intrinsic value (in millions) Outstanding at January 1, 2022 3,290,543 $ 24.22 Granted — — Exercised (1,031,893) 23.41 Forfeited and expired (52,290) 24.35 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 2,206,360 $ 24.60 5.4 $ 15.9 Exercisable at December 31, 2022 1,880,396 $ 24.89 5.1 $ 13.0 Expected to vest after December 31, 2022 325,964 $ 22.94 7.1 $ 2.9 As of December 31, 2022, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options of approximately $0.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.1 years. Year ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised $ 7.8 $ 2.3 $ 0.3 Restricted stock Non-vested restricted stock relates to awards for members of the Company’s Board of Directors which vest over 12 months. The grant date fair value of restricted stock is based on the market price of the common stock on that date. Non-vested shares of restricted stock may not be sold or transferred and are subject to forfeiture until vesting. Both vested and non-vested shares of restricted stock are included in the Company’s shares outstanding. The following table reflects restricted stock activity under the Plans: Number of restricted stock Weighted-average grant date fair value Non-vested at January 1, 2022 23,056 $ 24.29 Granted 22,191 29.75 Vested (26,727) 24.70 Forfeited — — Non-vested at December 31, 2022 18,520 $ 30.24 As of December 31, 2022, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards of approximately $0.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.3 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of granted restricted stock was $24.29 and $13.91 in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Restricted stock units ("RSUs") RSUs awarded to employees generally vest in three The following table reflects RSU activity under the Plans: Number of Restricted Stock Units Weighted-average grant date fair value Non-vested at January 1, 2022 1,553,491 $ 21.61 Granted 827,056 28.62 Vested (805,585) 22.13 Forfeited (118,560) 23.04 Non-vested at December 31, 2022 1,456,402 $ 25.18 As of December 31, 2022, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested RSU awards of approximately $12.8 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of granted RSU awards was $21.66 and $21.29 in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") The Company awards performance-based shares to certain employees. These awards vest upon the passage of time and the achievement of performance conditions, which is generally over a three year period. The Company reviews progress toward the attainment of the performance conditions each quarter during the vesting period. When it is probable the minimum performance conditions for the award will be achieved, the Company begins recognizing the expense equal to the proportionate share of the total fair value. The total expense recognized over the duration of performance awards will equal the grant date fair value multiplied by the number of shares ultimately awarded based on the level of attainment of the performance conditions. For grants with market conditions, the fair value is determined on the grant date by using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with a duration of three years. The PRSUs awarded may be subject to a downward or upward adjustment depending on the total stockholder return achieved by the Company during the particular performance period relative to the total stockholder return ranking among peer companies as specified in the respective PRSU award agreement. The total expense recognized over the duration of the award is not adjusted based on the level of attainment of the market conditions. The following table reflects PRSU activity under the Plans: Number of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Weighted-average grant date fair value Non-vested at January 1, 2022 709,260 $ 21.77 Granted 243,750 27.94 Vested (409,870) 22.81 Forfeited (13,950) 21.46 Non-vested at December 31, 2022 529,190 $ 23.82 As of December 31, 2022, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested PRSU awards of approximately $7.7 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Fair value Year ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Fair value of restricted stock, RSUs and PRSUs vested $ 40.1 $ 9.6 $ 9.2 Employee stock purchase plan The Univar Solutions Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, authorizing the issuance of up to 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock allows qualified participants to purchase the Company’s common stock at 95% of its market price during the last day of two offering periods in each calendar year. The first offering period is January through June, and the second from July through December. As of December 31, 2022, the total number of shares issued under the plan for the two offering periods in 2022 was 60,942 shares. Stock-based compensation fair value assumptions The fair value of the Company’s stock that is factored into the fair value of stock options and utilized for restricted stock, RSUs and PRSUs with internally developed performance conditions is based on the grant date closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of PRSUs with market conditions. The weighted average grant date fair value of PRSUs with market conditions was $27.94 and $20.36 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted-average assumptions under the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2022 2021 Risk-free interest rate (1) 1.6 % 0.3 % Expected dividend yield — — Expected volatility (2) 51.7 % 53.8 % (1) The risk-free interest rate was based on the US Treasury yield for a period in years equal to the remaining performance period from date of grant. (2) The expected volatility for each grant was determined based on the historical weekly stock price returns of the Company's common stock over a period equal to the remaining term of the performance period from the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted. No stock options were granted in 2021 or 2022. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options was $6.17 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The weighted-average assumptions used under the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2020 Risk-free interest rate (1) 1.4 % Expected dividend yield — Expected volatility (2) 24.4 % Expected term (years) (3) 6.0 (1) The risk-free interest rate was based on the US Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected term of the stock options at the time of grant. (2) As the Company did not have sufficient historical volatility data, the expected volatility was based on the average historical data of a peer group of public companies over a period equal to the expected term of the stock options. (3) As the Company did not have sufficient historical exercise data under the Plans, the expected term was based on the average of the vesting period of each tranche and the original contract term of 10 years.

Fair value measurements The Company classifies its financial instruments according to the fair value hierarchy described in “Note 2: Significant accounting policies.” Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis The following table is a reconciliation of recurring fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which consisted of the warrant liability related to the Nexeo acquisition and Techi Chem acquisition contingent consideration liabilities: Warrant Liability Contingent Consideration (in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Fair value as of January 1 $ 33.8 $ 33.0 $ 2.2 $ — Additions — — — 2.2 Fair value adjustments (33.8) 0.8 — — Foreign exchange — — 0.1 — Transfers out of Level 3 — — (2.3) — Fair value as of December 31 $ — $ 33.8 $ — $ 2.2 In conjunction with the Nexeo acquisition in 2019, the Company assumed warrants that were converted into the right to receive, upon exercise, approximately 7.6 million shares of the Company's common stock. During 2021, a portion of the outstanding warrants were exercised at a price of $27.80, resulting in the issuance of 973,717 shares of common stock and the receipt of $27.1 million in cash proceeds. All remaining warrants expired on June 9, 2021, resulting in the write-off of the warrants' fair value within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. As the performance period for the Techi Chem contingent consideration ended in 2021, and inputs to the liability were no longer unobservable, the Company no longer considered the balance a Level 3 classification.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	16. Derivatives Foreign currency derivatives The Company uses forward currency contracts to hedge earnings from the effects of foreign exchange rates relating to certain of the Company’s intercompany and third-party receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as cash flow hedges by the Company and the terms of these instruments range from one Interest rate swap contracts The objective of the Company's designated interest rate swap contracts is to offset the variability of cash flows in LIBOR and SOFR indexed debt interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rates related to the Term B-6 Loan (previously the Term B-3 Loan) and a portion of debt outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility (previously the North American ABL Facility). In June 2021, the Company executed two interest rate swap contracts, both effective June 30, 2023, to replace existing interest rate swap contracts with maturities occurring between June 2023 and June 2024. These interest rate swap contracts contain an initial aggregate notional value of $250.0 million from June 2023 to June 2024 that increases to an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million from June 2024 to May 2028. The Company also uses undesignated interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate variability. Cross currency swap contracts Cross currency swap contracts are used to effectively convert the Term B-5 Loan’s principal amount of floating rate US dollar denominated debt, including interest payments, to fixed-rate Euro denominated debt. The cross currency swap contracts mature in November 2024 and approximately 95% of the contracts are designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company also uses undesignated cross currency swap contracts to manage interest rate variability and mitigate foreign exchange exposure.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	18. Commitments and contingencies Litigation In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to pending or threatened claims, lawsuits, regulatory matters and administrative proceedings from time to time. Where appropriate the Company has recorded provisions in the consolidated financial statements for these matters. The liabilities for injuries to persons or property are in some instances covered by liability insurance, subject to various deductibles and self-insured retentions. Other than as disclosed, the Company is not aware of any claims, lawsuits, regulatory matters or administrative proceedings, pending or threatened, that are likely to have a material effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of any present or future claims or litigation or the potential for future claims or litigation and adverse developments could negatively impact earnings or cash flows in a particular future period. Asbestos Claims The Company is subject to liabilities from claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos. The claims result primarily from an indemnification obligation related to Univar Solutions USA Inc.’s (“Univar”) 1986 purchase of McKesson Chemical Company from McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”). Univar is pursuing insurance coverage for certain matters under McKesson's historical insurance coverage to partially offset the impact of any fees, settlements, or judgments that Univar is obligated to pay because of its obligation to McKesson. As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 232 asbestos-related cases for which Univar has the obligation to defend and indemnify; however, this number tends to fluctuate up and down over time. Historically, the vast majority of these asbestos cases have been dismissed without payment or with a nominal payment. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, it does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material effect on its overall financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Unclaimed Property Audit The Company and its subsidiaries were the subject of an unclaimed property audit request issued by the State of Delaware in 2015. On June 29, 2022, the State of Delaware notified the Company that it was closing its examination with a $0 finding. On September 13, 2022, the parties executed a confidential settlement agreement and release. Canada Revenue Agency In October 2022, the Company received notice from the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") proposing that certain historical financing transactions between one of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries (Univar Canada Ltd.) and one of the Company's US subsidiaries (Univar Holdco Canada LLC) should be recharacterized as equity and not debt for the 2015 and 2016 tax years. The CRA has proposed that certain deductions claimed by the Canadian entity should be denied, resulting in additional tax due, as well as penalties and interest on the unpaid tax. The proposed assessment against the Company, inclusive of interest and penalties of Canadian Dollar ("C$") 22.0 million, totals C$51.0 million. It is possible that the CRA might take a similar position in relation to two additional tax years (2017 and 2018), but the Company has not received a proposal in relation to those years. The transactions that are being challenged by the CRA for 2015 and 2016 do not apply in periods after 2018. The Company believes that the tax position previously taken was proper and it will defend itself as appropriate. The Company has not recorded any liabilities in its consolidated financial statements for this matter, as it believes it is more likely than not that the Company's position will be sustained. Environmental The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that require environmental assessment or remediation efforts (collectively “environmental remediation work”) and from time to time the Company becomes aware of compliance matters regarding possible or alleged violations of these laws or regulations. For example, over the years, the Company has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and/or similar state laws that impose liability for costs relating to environmental remediation work at various sites. As a PRP, the Company may be required to pay a share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of certain sites. The Company is currently engaged in environmental remediation work at approximately 128 locations, some that are now or were previously Company-owned/occupied and some that were never Company-owned/occupied (“non-owned sites”). The Company’s environmental remediation work at some sites is being conducted pursuant to governmental proceedings or investigations. At other sites, the Company, with appropriate state or federal agency oversight and approval, is conducting the environmental remediation work voluntarily. The Company is currently undergoing remediation efforts or is in the process of active review of the need for potential remediation efforts at approximately 107 current or formerly Company-owned/occupied sites. In addition, the Company may be liable as a PRP for a share of the clean-up of approximately 21 non-owned sites. These non-owned sites are typically (a) locations of independent waste disposal or recycling operations with alleged or confirmed contaminated soil and/or groundwater to which the Company may have shipped waste products or drums for re-conditioning, or (b) contaminated non-owned sites near historical sites owned or operated by the Company or its predecessors from which contamination is alleged to have arisen. In determining the appropriate level of environmental liabilities, the Company considers several factors such as information obtained from investigatory studies; the scope of remediation (including any changes over time); the interpretation, application and enforcement of laws and regulations; changes in the costs of remediation programs; the development of alternative cleanup technologies and methods; and the relative level of the Company’s involvement at various sites for which the Company is allegedly associated. The level of annual expenditures for remedial, monitoring and investigatory activities will change in the future as major components of planned remediation activities are completed and the scope, timing and costs of existing activities are changed. Project lives, and therefore cash flows, may range from 2 to 30 years, depending on the specific site and type of remediation project. Although the Company believes that its accruals are adequate for environmental contingencies, it is possible, due to the uncertainties noted above, that additional accruals could be required in the future that could have a material effect on the overall financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular period. Changes in total environmental liabilities, which were measured on an undiscounted basis, were as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 Environmental liabilities as of January 1 $ 88.1 $ 79.6 Revised obligation estimates 25.9 29.0 Payments (22.7) (20.3) Foreign exchange (0.4) (0.2) Environmental liabilities as of December 31 $ 90.9 $ 88.1 December 31, (in millions) Balance Sheet Classification 2022 2021 Current environmental liabilities Other accrued expenses $ 36.5 $ 39.3 Long-term environmental liabilities Other long-term liabilities 54.4 48.8 As of December 31, 2022, receivables for insurance recoveries of $6.7 million and $9.3 million were recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. No receivables for insurance recoveries were recorded as of December 31, 2021. Insurance recoveries of $16.7 million were recorded within warehousing, selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company manages estimated cash flows by project. These estimates are subject to change if there are modifications to the scope of the remediation plan or if other factors, either external or internal, change the timing of the remediation activities. The Company periodically reviews the status of all existing or potential environmental liabilities and adjusts its accruals based on all available, relevant information. Based on current estimates, the expected payments for environmental remediation for the next five years and thereafter at December 31, 2022 were as follows: (in millions) 2023 $ 36.5 2024 12.4 2025 6.9 2026 5.3 2027 4.5 Thereafter 25.3 Total $ 90.9

Segments

Segments	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	20. Segments The Company’s operations are structured into four reportable segments that represent the geographic areas under which it operates and manages the business. Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker, monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the sum of consolidated net income; depreciation; amortization; net interest expense; income tax expense; impairment charges; (gain) loss on sale of business; other operating expenses, net and other income (expense), net (for both, see “Note 8: Supplemental financial information”). For 2020, Adjusted EBITDA also included an adjustment to remove a Brazil VAT charge. Transfer prices between reportable segments are set on an arms-length basis in a similar manner to transactions with third parties. Corporate operating expenses that directly benefit segments have been allocated to the reportable segments. Allocable operating expenses are identified through a review process by management. The allocable operating expenses are assigned to the reportable segments on a basis that reasonably approximates the use of services, which is generally measured based on a weighted distribution of margin, asset, headcount or time spent. Financial information for the Company’s reportable segments was as follows: (in millions) USA EMEA Canada LATAM Other/ Eliminations (1) Consolidated Net sales Year ended December 31, 2022 External customers $ 7,533.5 $ 2,064.7 $ 1,120.5 $ 756.6 $ — $ 11,475.3 Inter-segment 129.5 10.6 10.5 0.5 (151.1) — Net sales $ 7,663.0 $ 2,075.3 $ 1,131.0 $ 757.1 $ (151.1) $ 11,475.3 Year ended December 31, 2021 External customers $ 6,024.0 $ 1,971.1 $ 930.0 $ 610.4 $ — $ 9,535.5 Inter-segment 92.1 4.3 4.4 0.7 (101.5) — Net sales $ 6,116.1 $ 1,975.4 $ 934.4 $ 611.1 $ (101.5) $ 9,535.5 Year ended December 31, 2020 External customers $ 5,006.2 $ 1,697.1 $ 1,110.7 $ 451.0 $ — $ 8,265.0 Inter-segment 81.2 3.1 2.5 — (86.8) — Net sales $ 5,087.4 $ 1,700.2 $ 1,113.2 $ 451.0 $ (86.8) $ 8,265.0 (1) Other/Eliminations represents the elimination of intersegment transactions.

Other sales to external customers primarily relate to services for collecting and arranging for the transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Risks and Concentrations No single customer accounted for 10% or more of net sales in any of the years presented. The Company has portions of its labor force that are a part of collective bargaining agreements. A work stoppage or other limitation on operations could occur as a result of disputes under existing collective bargaining agreements with labor unions or government-based work counsels or in connection with negotiations of new collective bargaining agreements. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 24% of the Company’s labor force is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 1% of the Company’s labor force is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that will expire within one year. Other segment information Information on total assets by segment is not disclosed, as the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker does not evaluate reportable segments using total asset information.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of consolidation and presentation	Basis of consolidation and presentation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are consolidated if the Company has a controlling financial interest, which may exist based on ownership of a majority of the voting interest, or based on the Company's determination that it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial data presented in these consolidated financial statements are expressed in US dollars.
Reclassification	Additionally, certain other immaterial amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.
Trade accounts receivable, net and allowance for doubtful accounts	Trade accounts receivable, net and allowance for doubtful accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the trade accounts receivable. Collectability of the trade accounts receivable balance is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined based on the delinquency of customer accounts, the financial condition of individual customers, past collections experience and future economic expectations. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Balance as of January 1 $ 15.8 $ 17.2 $ 12.9 Provision for credit losses 5.1 6.9 9.3 Write-offs (7.7) (8.1) (4.4) Recoveries — — 0.1 Dispositions — — (0.5) Foreign exchange (0.1) (0.2) (0.2) Balance as of December 31 $ 13.1 $ 15.8 $ 17.2
Inventories	InventoriesInventories consist primarily of products purchased for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined based on the weighted average cost method and includes purchase price from producers net of rebates received, inbound freight and handling, and direct labor and other costs incurred to blend and repackage product, but excludes depreciation expense.
Property, plant and equipment, net	Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Buildings 10-50 years Main components of tank farms 5-40 years Containers 2-15 years Machinery and equipment 5-20 years Furniture, fixtures and others 5-20 years Information technology 3-10 years The Company evaluates the useful life and carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the asset group's carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.
Goodwill and intangible assets	Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company’s reporting units are USA, EMEA, Canada, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. For each of the reporting units, the Company has the option to perform either the qualitative or quantitative test. In the event a reporting unit fails the qualitative test, it is required to perform the quantitative test. The quantitative impairment test considers both the income approach and the market approach to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value. Significant assumptions include forecasted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), market segment growth rates and discount rates based on a reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will recognize an impairment for the lesser of the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value or the reporting unit’s goodwill carrying value. As of October 1, 2022, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment using the qualitative test and concluded that fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units. The Company's intangible assets have finite lives and are amortized over their respective useful lives of 2 to 20 years using the estimated pattern of economic benefit. Intangible assets are tested for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Short-term financing	Short-term financingShort-term financing includes bank overdrafts and short-term lines of credit.
Income taxes	Income taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carryforwards. The effect on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the revised tax rate is enacted. Income tax effects are released from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the period the underlying item expires. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, forecasted and appropriate character of future taxable income, its experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and the ability to carry back losses to prior years. The Company is subject to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), which is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company treats taxes due on future US inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred. The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits through an assessment of whether a position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on its technical merits. The Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense and warehousing, selling and administrative expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included in other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") was enacted into US law. Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate minimum tax, a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, and creates and extends certain tax-related energy incentives. Management does not expect the tax-related provisions of the IRA to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Defined benefit pension plans	Defined benefit pension plans The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans and recognizes actuarial gains or losses, known as "mark to market" adjustments, as of the December 31 measurement date. The mark to market adjustments primarily include gains and losses resulting from changes in discount rates and the difference between the expected and actual rate of return on plan assets. Settlement gains and losses are recognized in the period in which the settlement occurs. The fair value of plan assets is used to calculate the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost.
Leases	Leases At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease within the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. The lease liability is measured at the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The lease liability includes payments allocated to lease components, while payments allocated to non-lease components are expensed as incurred for all asset classes. When a contract excludes an implicit rate, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including lease term and geographic region. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset includes the initial measurement of the lease liability, fixed lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date and initial direct costs incurred by the Company and excludes lease incentives. Variable lease payments, such as payments based on an index rate or usage, are expensed as incurred and excluded from lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Legal costs	Legal costsLegal costs are expensed as incurred.
Environmental liabilities	Environmental liabilities Environmental liabilities are recognized for probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with environmental remediation. Incremental direct costs of the investigation, remediation effort and post-remediation monitoring are included in the estimated environmental liabilities. The Company discounts environmental liabilities if the liability and the respective payment streams are fixed or reliably determinable. Expected cash outflows related to environmental remediation for the next 12 months and amounts for which the timing is uncertain are reported as current within other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion of environmental liabilities is reported within other long-term liabilities in
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring a good or providing a service. Since the term between invoicing and payment is less than a year, revenue is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. Revenue for bill-and-hold arrangements is recognized if the Company has a substantive customer request, the materials are properly segregated and designated as belonging to the customer, materials are ready to be transferred to the customer and the Company is unable to direct the materials to another customer. Chemical distribution Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied, which generally occurs at a point in time upon completion of the shipping process as indicated by the terms of the contract. Net sales include product sales and billings for freight and handling charges, net of discounts, expected returns, customer price and volume incentives and sales or other revenue-based taxes. The Company estimates customer price and volume incentives and expected customer returns based on historical experience. Services The Company recognizes revenue from services as they are performed and economic value is transferred to customers. Services provided to customers are primarily related to waste management and warehousing. Crop sciences The Company recognized revenue when control of products transferred to customers. The amount of consideration recorded varied due to price movements and rights granted to customers to return product. Customer payment terms often extended through a growing season, which was up to six months. Beginning in 2021, crop sciences is no longer a revenue stream due to actions taken by the Company within the Canada segment in 2020.
Foreign currency	Foreign currency Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. The net exchange gains and losses arising from translation are reflected as a component of foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Transaction gains and losses are recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Transaction gains and losses relating to intercompany borrowings that are an investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected as a component of foreign currency translation within AOCI.
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation The Company measures the total amount of employee stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of each award. Expense is recognized for each separately vesting tranche on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the shorter of the service period of the award or the period until the employees' retirement eligibility date. The Company recognizes forfeitures when incurred.
Fair value	Fair value Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities have been determined using market information and valuation methodologies. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value and a net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient: Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuation in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3 Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable . NAV As a practical expedient, certain investments are measured based on the NAV per share (or equivalent) due to the absence of a readily available market price, and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy.
Derivatives	Derivatives The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate and cross currency swaps is determined by estimating the net present value of amounts to be paid under the agreement offset by the net present value of the expected cash inflows based on market rates and associated yield curves. Based on these valuation methodologies, these derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations within interest expense or other income (expense), net. Cash flows associated with derivative financial instruments are recognized in the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded to AOCI and are reclassified to earnings when the underlying forecasted transaction affects earnings. For contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the Company reassesses the probability of the underlying forecasted transactions occurring on a quarterly basis. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, all changes in fair value are recorded to earnings in the current period.
Earnings per share	Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each period. The Company reflects common share equivalents relating to stock options, non-vested restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units in its computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, unless the effect of inclusion is anti-dilutive. The effect of dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements and Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted	Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10 "Government Assistance" (Topic 832) - "Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance" to increase the transparency of disclosures for government assistance and grants. The ASU requires annual disclosures pertaining to the types of received government assistance, accounting for the transactions and the related impacts on the reported financial results. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements and disclosures as the Company has not received significant government assistance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 "Reference Rate Reform" (Topic 848) "Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Topic 848 provides optional practical expedients and elections when accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of reference rates such as LIBOR, if certain criteria are met. The standard was effective upon issuance and the Company may apply the optional practical expedients and elections in Topic 848 prospectively through December 31, 2024. The Company adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of 2022, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements. Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805) – "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This ASU requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2023, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs" (Subtopic 405-50) - "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" to enhance the transparency of disclosure regarding supplier finance programs. The ASU requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Retrospective application of the guidance is required for all disclosures except rollforward information, which requires prospective application. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the standard on its disclosures.

Investment funds Fair values are based on the NAV of the units held at year end. The NAVs are based on the fair value of the underlying assets of the funds, less their liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding at the valuation date. The funds are traded on private markets that are not active, with unit prices based on observable (Level 2) or unobservable (Level 3) market data based on the fund’s underlying assets. Buy-in contract This represents the UK Plan buy-in contract assets. Fair values are based on initial pricing adjusted for changes in government and corporate bond yields, inflation, demographic assumptions and changes in participant data, and as such are considered Level 3 based on the significant unobservable inputs used in deriving the assets' fair values. Insurance contracts Fair values are based on the present value of the accrued benefit, and as such are considered Level 3 based on the significant unobservable inputs used in deriving the asset's fair values. Investments measured at NAV Investment in a real estate fund, which invests in real estate assets. The investment in properties by the real estate fund is carried at fair value, which is estimated based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date.
