Our commitment to corporate responsibility is called Staples Soul.
We recognize the close connection between financial success and our desire to make a positive impact on our employees, communities and the planet by contributing to the following areas: diversity, the environment, our community and ethics.
Diversity.
The world is a diverse place. Reflecting the face of our customers is embedded in our culture. Our employees and customers are diverse, which helps us ensure that our workplace is one of inclusion and acceptance. Our commitment goes beyond race and gender to include developing a diversity of thought and experience.
Environment.
We seek environmental excellence by developing and sourcing environmentally preferable products - e.g. working with major paper suppliers to establish a more forest-friendly offering - operating according to ISO and OHSAS accreditations, running recycling programmes with our customers, minimising our facilities’ environmental footprints, optimising our procedures to limit the number of deliveries and implementing route-planning systems to reduce fuel consumption.
Community.
Staples reaches out to the communities where our customers and employees live and work. We support organizations such as PLAN international that provide educational opportunities to young people because we believe that education paves the way for a better future. And as an office supplies company our products play a role in enabling young people to best prepare for class, achieve success at school, and develop the proper job skills to be successful.
Ethics.
Staples strives to be a model of corporate governance and ethical business practices. Our commitment to integrity is embodied in our Code of Ethics, which all employees are expected to follow. We only work with suppliers who share our values, as reflected in our Supplier Code of Conduct.
