Grow the Good

At Staples Promotional Products, we are committed to the power of positivity and the importance of making a meaningful impact. This principle is central to our core values and directs our actions and initiatives.

We are proud to align with BMO's Purpose, to Boldly Grow the Good in business and in life, which focuses on sustainable and responsible growth while promoting positive change within the communities we serve.

Thriving Economy

Our dedicated financial team stays updated with best practices and industry standards. We've collaborated with top financial institutions, giving us a solid understanding of the industry. We’re here to help strengthen the communities you serve by supporting your ability to connect with consumers and business owners.

Sustainable Future

We build better brands while caring for people and planet.

In 2022, we launched the promo industry’s first and only sustainable procurement platform, Green Light Responsible Sourcing™, to provide our partners with 100% value chain sustainability transparency. To lead the entire industry forward, we have partnered with EcoVadis, the largest and most trusted provider for objectively assessing the environmental, social, and ethical performance of enterprises around the world.

The industry’s only sustainable procurement platform.

Through Green Light, Staples Promo is the only branded merchandise distributor to require our suppliers annually undergo comprehensive Ecovadis assessments, assigning a performance score based on 21 criteria across four categories: Environment, Ethics, Sustainable Procurement, and Labour & Human Rights. EcoVadis assessment scores provide a precise, quantitative comparison of supplier sustainability performance and improvement, year over year.

By methodically and progressively improving supply chain sustainability, we create change and impact far beyond the direct influence of our own operations.

Inclusive Society

At Staples, inclusion is a verb.

Our mission is to integrate inclusion and diversity into everything we do. We work hard to increase our underrepresented groups in our dynamic workforce and seek employees with unique input and individual perspectives. We support diverse talent with industry-leading diversity and inclusion resources, such as a Social Justice Resource Center and ten Business Resource Groups, including Women Who Lead, Mental Health Advocacy Group and Out @ Work.

Building Better Communities

Our Building Better Communities team focuses on creating opportunities for associates to volunteer in their regions through various local programs, throughout the year, with a goal of building better, stronger communities, and helping those in need.
