 Sustainability at United Stationers
We have seen that we can be socially and environmentally responsible while continuing to be successful in the marketplace. We are in a unique position to drive positive changes through our products, customer programs, supplier partnerships, and our own resource management. We are committed to partnering with our resellers and dealers to provide innovative, sustainable business solutions to America's small and medium businesses. We are actively raising the bar and joining the global effort to preserve the future.
- Culture of Commitment
We are committed to integrating a philosophy of sustainability into our culture and sense of pride on behalf of all associates. Energy is high and associates are engaged around the important topic of sustainability. And we feel that we have only just begun!
- Innovative Product/Service Solutions
We strive to provide our customers with unparalleled service and product choices to meet their consumers' everyday needs. We want to make it easy for consumers to choose "green". We want to offer an environmentally preferable choice where possible, in every product category. These choices that customers make everyday can collectively make a difference now, and will also encourage the development of more environmentally responsible products for the future. Let's make it easy to do the right thing.
- Relationships
Resellers/Dealers - We believe that sustainable solutions for the office environment are not only right for the environment, but they support the fundamental strength of our independent resellers.
"High touch" customer intimacy has been the key to success, and it aligns well with the mission of sustainability. Through working collaboratively, education, and tools, we will help our resellers to join with us on our sustainability journey.
Suppliers - Many of our suppliers have corporate sustainability plans, and others are just starting down the path. We plan to partner with key suppliers to accelerate efforts and collectively facilitate progress in our industry. For suppliers who have yet to begin their sustainability efforts, we will work with them to develop a set of sustainable practices tailored for the SMB consumer. Through working closely together, having clear expectations and assessments, we can ensure our Suppliers are aligned with our sustainability philosophy.
- Internal Operations
We want to demonstrate leadership, responsibility and accountability when it comes to sustainability and our own efforts to preserve the environment. With 67 facilities, a fleet of over 1000 vehicles and over 35 million orders processed annually, there is a great deal we can do within our own organization to make an impact.
