Staples Mission Statement

Corporate Social Responsibility

At Staples, we are committed to truly making a difference through the preservation of the earth's resources and the betterment of our communities.

Protecting our environment

We inspire our associates, customers and vendors to preserve the earth's resources through environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices. We endeavor to offer the best in affordable recycled products and to make it easy for customers and associates to recycle. We strive to reduce waste and to increase our sources of renewable power to run our facilities around the world.

Giving back to our communities

We give back to our communities across the country through Staples Foundation for Learning™. The Foundation awards grants to charitable programs that offer job training and educational opportunities to all people, with a special emphasis on disadvantaged youth. We proudly sponsor Boys & Girls Clubs of America and other organizations that serve our nation's communities.

We do all of this, knowing that the decisions we make today contribute to the long-term success of our business, the conservation of the environment and the enrichment of the communities in which we work and live.
