“Historically, environmentalism has been more about telling
people what not to do rather than celebrating what they do.
Negative feedback may be useful when trying to stop certain
actions, but it doesn’t help when trying to encourage positive
changes,” said Shannon Hunter, vice president of merchandising
operations & sustainability for Office Depot. “At Office Depot,
we believe it’s more powerful in the long run to reward greener
action than to punish inaction. We also believe that recognizing
leadership on environmental matters is a good way to influence
others and change attitudes.”
Award winners were selected from Office Depot’s largest
customers based on their expenditure on products with
eco-attributes such as recycled content, energy-efficiency, reduced
harsh chemicals, etc., and/or ecolabels such as FSC®, EPEAT,
GREENGUARD Certification, GreenSeal® and EcoLogo. Customer
purchases with the highest level of meaningful eco-attributes and
ecolabels were given extra weight in the selection process.
Office Depot uses a wide range of approaches to increase
customer uptake of greener products, including The Green Book®
Digital Catalog to simplify the green shopping experience for BSD
(Business Solutions Division) customers, a GreenerOffice™ web store
containing thousands of products with environmental attributes, and
regular promotions on greener products. Office Depot also has one
of the industry’s leading sets of Greener Solutions and reporting
tools, many of which were developed in collaboration with specific
customers.
