• In Their Own Words

    • "(Office Depot) has invested time, money, blood, sweat and tears into an (environmental) program that not only makes it best in class, but arguably deserves wider recognition for being one of the world's finest programs."

How We Strive to Increasingly Tell Green

We strongly believe the path to environmental progress lies in focusing on what is being done, not on what is not being done. We like to celebrate all wins and showcase success. We feel there is too much green muting in large companies for fear that some environmental groups will accuse them of of green-washing. In our opinion, that thinking is outdated because it discourages improvement and reinforces negativity. We are proud to focus on what we are doing, and telling our story while fully recognizing we have more to do.

By telling our environmental story we engage our associates and stakeholders, and encourage them to learn from our experience. We have also been asked to speak at some of the most high-profile green conferences in the world. Among those who know about the big office supply company's environmental efforts, there is one clear leader: Office Depot.
