About the Program
Diversity One
Our Diversity One program connects customers directly with highly respected diverse office supply providers. To qualify, all of our Diversity One suppliers must meet high standards, including:
- Established market leadership
- Commitment to diversity supplier development
- Investment in local community
- Active participation by senior management
What makes the Staples® Diversity One program unique? Instead of a diversity program that involves diversity supplier in name only, the Diversity One program enables diverse suppliers to provide real services directly to customers through our Staples® eDiversity Network. Customers place orders directly with diversity suppliers who take full responsibility for managing these orders. Staples® Diversity One diversity suppliers include:
- Alpha Office Supplies, Inc. (PDF)
- Midway Office Supply Center, Inc. (PDF)
- Tejas Office Products
- Summus Industries
- Proftech, LLC (PDF)
- Bolinds Solutions Services

The Diversity Two program supports and promotes more than 80 diverse vendors (such as Roxbury Technology Corp.
