Strong leadership
We are deeply committed to Corporate
Social Responsibility.
We make our decisions—the right choices for our
associates, vendors and customers—based on our
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We value
actions rooted in integrity and accountability and
hold ourselves and our colleagues to these
principles. For the second consecutive year, we
were honored to be named one of the 2013 World’s
Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere
Institute, and to receive Ethics Inside® Certification
based on the Ethisphere Institute’s review of
OfficeMax’s ethics and compliance program,
culture of ethics, reputation and leadership,
corporate citizenship and environmental initiatives,
and governance systems.
Our commitment to the environment is something
we take very seriously. In 2012, we created the
Boomerang Box™ by OfficeMax, a corrugated
delivery box that can be reused and recycled for
deliveries to business customers. The program—
which was rolled out in Seattle, WA in June and
expanded nationwide by the end of the year—is
projected to reduce box consumption by 80%
among participating businesses. This program is
just one of many ways that we act to reduce our
overall environmental footprint, and help our
customers do the same.
OfficeMax also recently received re-certification by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
SmartWay Transport Partnership for the fourth
consecutive year. The certification recognizes our
commitment to reducing our environmental impact
by using clean operating vehicles and fuels that
help improve fuel efficiency and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions in our delivery network.
Our commitment to our associates—and providing
programs to keep them healthy and productive—is
of utmost importance. Tobacco cessation pro-
grams, blood pressure screenings and flu shots are
a few of the wellness activities offered to our
associates. In addition, our fitness center, healthy
eating programs, Summer Walking Challenge and
more provide opportunities for positive life changes.
Through OfficeMax GoodworksSM, associates
donate their time and resources to help build and
sustain strong communities. The program
encompasses various programs focused on
providing products and supplies whenever and
wherever they’re needed. This year we partnered
with AdoptAClassroom.org to help teachers
affected by super storm Sandy, and by the tornado
in Henryville, IN. Through in-store donations and
matching grants, AdoptAClassroom.org generated
more than $128,000 in donations for teachers
affected by these two disasters.
Additionally, 2012 marked the sixth anniversary
of A Day Made Better, a one-day event that is
helping to erase teacher-funded classrooms.
More than 3,500 associates from across the
company helped surprise more than 1,000
teachers nationally by gifting each of them with
over $1,000 in school supplies.
