“Office Depot congratulates the winners of our Ninth Annual
Leadership in Greener Purchasing Awards,” said Dave Trudnowski,
senior vice president of adjacency, sustainability and public
sector strategy for Office Depot. “We are pleased to honor these
organizations from across the country that have implemented and are
actively pursuing increased sustainability through their purchasing
decisions.”
Award winners were selected from among Office Depot’s largest
1,000 customers based on their high green spend percentage compared
to others in their sector. Office Depot calculates green spend
percentage by comparing a customer’s expenditure on products with
eco-attributes such as recycled content, energy-efficiency,
non-toxicity, etc., and/or ecolabels such as FSC, EPEAT,
GREENGUARD, GreenSeal and EcoLogo. Customer purchases with the
highest level of meaningful eco-attributes and ecolabels were given
extra weight in the selection process.
"One of the unique ways Office Depot sells greener is by
celebrating our customers who buy greener,” said Molly Ray, senior
manager of sustainability for Office Depot. “By recognizing our
customers for achieving their sustainability goals, they’ll
continue to make greener purchasing decisions in the future and we
believe that other organizations will follow.”
