Additionally, 2011 marked the fi fth anniversary of A Day Made Better, a
one-day event that is helping to erase teacher-funded classrooms. Each
year, associates from across the company help surprise more than 1,000
teachers nationally by gifting them with over $1,000 in school supplies.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets the standards by which
we measure ourselves every day. We act with integrity and accountability
when we hold ourselves and our colleagues to these principles. In 2011,
we engaged Corpedia to conduct a review and benchmark the Offi ceMax
ethics and compliance program. We are proud to report that the company
met or exceeded industry requirements, standards and best practices and
was awarded Ethics Inside® certifi cation.
Our enduring commitment to the environment is of great importance
at Offi ceMax, too. Over the last several years, we’ve reduced our CO2
emissions, electricity and fuel consumption signifi cantly. In recognition of
our efforts, we received the 2010 Supply & Demand Chain Green Award.
We have a great deal to be proud of in building and sustaining a diverse
working environment dedicated to giving back to the communities in which
we live, work and serve. In 2012, we remain focused on our commitment to
the environment, and we look forward to continued success with our targeted
philanthropic approach. //
