“In particular OD's environmental product initiatives provide customers with information and support tools to help them make an informed decision about the environmental impact of their purchase. The Environmental Savings Calculator shows an innovative approach.”

The judges were really impressed with the way in which Office Depot had embedded the motto ‘Buy Green, Be Green, Sell Green’ into its every day business practices. Also the work that is done for their customers to reduce the environmental impacts of their purchases was felt to be incredibly valuable and innovative; namely the Enlighten website and environmental spend analysis reports.
The Green Apple Awards are national awards hosted by the Green Organisation. Office Depot was delighted to pick up an award for the third consecutive year.
