“Our efforts towards sustainability at ODP Business Solutions commence with our own dedication to minimizing our ecological footprint.

"We recognize and appreciate customers who make eco-conscious purchases and celebrate their contribution towards helping to safeguard our planet. We encourage them to continue making more sustainable choices in the future.”

The award winners were selected for their expenditure on environmentally conscious products that possess characteristics such as recycled content, energy efficiency, and reduced use of harsh chemicals, among others. The selection process prioritized customer purchases with substantial eco-attributes. Furthermore, products that were labeled with ecolabels such as FSC, EPEAT, GREENGUARD Certification, Green Seal, and ECOLOGO were also taken into account.

To assist customers in achieving their environmental sustainability objectives, ODP Business Solutions provides a range of resources, such as The Green Book Digital Catalog for a more convenient eco-conscious shopping experience, a GreenerOffice web store offering thousands of products with eco-attributes, and an experienced sustainability team. Moreover, ODP Business Solutions features one of the foremost collections of Greener Solutions and reporting tools in the industry, several of which were created in cooperation with specific customers.

In addition, ODP Business Solutions and Global Electronics Council (GEC) have announced a recent collaboration that acknowledges a business that has taken substantial measures to reduce its environmental impact by choosing products that comply with EPEAT ecolabel’s stringent sustainability standards. EPEAT’s rating system evaluates products on a lifecycle basis, taking into account factors like the elimination of toxic substances, the use of recyclable and recycled materials, design for recycling, product durability, energy efficiency, corporate performance, and packaging characteristics. Products that satisfy sustainability requirements receive a rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze.
