Ethics

At Staples Advantage, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty, fairness and integrity. We continually implement strategies to ensure ethical conduct — from the boardroom to the supply chain.

Our strong ethical foundation, demonstrated in the daily actions of our UK associates, builds the value of our brand, strengthens our relationships with our stakeholders, and ensures our continued success.

Ethical Conduct

Our Code of Ethics sets forth our core expectations for all associates, including conflicts of interest, customer privacy and reporting. Through training and ongoing communication, we bring our Code of Ethics to life.

Ethical Sourcing

Staples seeks to work with suppliers that source their products in a manner that protects workers’ human rights, workers’ health and safety, and the environment. Suppliers providing us with Staples® brand products are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct. We regularly audit supplier factories to ensure compliance using independent third-party auditors.
