The group purchasing organization Corporate United has added agreements that provide more services to its members. Now, Lyreco is supplying members with a global office products offering through OfficeMax and Cintas Document Management is providing members document shredding services. "By adding Lyreco's global offering to our existing OfficeMax agreement, we will be able to serve the international office products needs of our members," says Marc Rosen, Corporate United president.
Staples has enrolled in the Rainforest Alliance's SmartSource program. The goal of the program is to assist a company with establishing responsible purchasing policies and implementing a sourcing program that gradually but steadily moves suppliers toward more sustainable practices. The agreement is part of Staples' ongoing work to move the majority of paper products it offers by weight in the U.S. to FSC certification. (FSC is the global standard setter in responsible forest management.) Other companies participating in the program include The Coca Cola Co., Unilever and Kraft.
