OfficeMax Supplier Diversity

 

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Supplier Diversity program is to develop sustainable business relationships with historically under represented diverse businesses by actively seeking to promote value-added business partnerships with certified diverse suppliers.

 

 Supplier Diversity Strategy Statement:

 OfficeMax recognizes the importance of supplier diversity as a critical business issue for our company.  Supplier diversity creates a competitive advantage for OfficeMax and we are committed to ensuring that it is an integral part of our strategic sourcing and procurement process.  We believe that the success of our organization, and the community, depends on our ability to work with diverse suppliers to provide unique insights into emerging markets, enhance our supply-chain, build a loyal customer base, and create wealth in the communities where we do business.

 

As the leader in supporting supplier diversity efforts in our industry, OfficeMax is committed to continuing to provide procurement opportunities to certified Minority-owned Business Enterprises, Women-owned Business Enterprises, Service Disabled Veteran businesses, Historically Underutilized Business, and other small business entities.

 

OfficeMax’s corporate policy underscores the company’s commitment to our Supplier Diversity Initiative by stating that maximum opportunity will continually be afforded to diverse suppliers to participate with us as suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors of goods and services. The responsibility to provide equal opportunity to increase the participation of minority, disabled veteran, women-owned and small business lies with all associates who influence or make supplier selection decisions.

 

At OfficeMax, we believe that a commitment to supplier diversity provides us with a value-added business strategy that allows us to better serve our customers and our communities.
