OUR COMPANY AND ASSOCIATES
Starting at the highest level of our organization, the Offi ceMax Diversity Council refl ects the commitment
to positively impact our workplace, marketplace and workforce through diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) enhance associate development and celebrate the multiple cultures
and ethnicities represented in our workforce. Our focus on diversity and inclusion brings varied perspectives
and talents together to drive innovative thinking and a better understanding of the marketplace.
OUR PRODUCTS AND VENDORS
In addition to the efforts within our own company, we are continuously building the diversity of our
business within the supply chain. In fact, through our Supplier Diversity Program, we have built our
catalog of products provided by certifi ed Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE)
to include many hundreds of items.
OUR SERVICES TO CUSTOMERS
Our comprehensive focus on diversity and inclusion, combined with our Supplier Diversity Program,
allows us to directly support customers with Tier 1 and Tier 2 objectives. We offer everything from direct
purchase from certifi ed MWBE vendors to a sophisticated tracking system and Diversity Usage Reports
that provide detailed reporting of diversity spend to our customers.
