2007 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

 

Working Environment

 

Management Approach

Unless otherwise noted, the information in this report regarding the OfficeMax Working Environment pertains to our U.S. Operations.

In recent years, OfficeMax has set important foundations for guiding associates in achieving our shared objectives, and for shaping our company culture in the years to come. We established our company Mission and Core Values, defined the OfficeMax Brand Essence, introduced a new Associate Performance Management Process, opened up a number of new associate-focused communications channels, and began development of a new Safety and Health Plan.

These developments build upon the structures already in place to provide a safe, nurturing and rewarding work environment, including the expectations and protections set forth in the OfficeMax Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and the OfficeMax Human Resources Policies.
