[Green Media Toolshed]: Staples’ Environmental Progress Report Fuels Further Criticism of Office Depot
“While Staples has been working collaboratively with forest protection
groups and making real progress on its commitment to phase out products
from endangered forests, Office Depot is spinning its wheels in a
public relations battle with environmental groups in defense of an
inadequate policy”, said Danna Smith Campaign Director for Dogwood
Alliance. “While Office Depot has had a whole year to catch up,
Staples remains the clear environmental leader in the office supply
industry.”
A new competitive front opens. The market driver of cultural creatives
voting with their dollars can be a powerful force for change, even
while the Bush Administration continues to roll back environmental
standards.
