Corporate Express has met the corporate responsibility inclusion criteria for the FTSE4Good Index, which was launched in 2001 by the FTSE Group.
 
The index assesses approximately 2,500 companies globally against specific criteria, and encourages investment in those companies who meet international standards of corporate responsibility.
 
According to the FTSE Group, Corporate Express’ inclusion in the Index demonstrates that the company has the policies and management systems in place to help address environmental, social and ethical risks.
 
“One of our key goals is to offer businesses a risk-free partnership by being socially responsible,” says CEO, Grant Harrod.
 
“We’re dedicated to offering a sustainable and responsible supply chain. We’re continuing to work on a number of initiatives, such as refining our Ethical Sourcing Policy, supporting a range of community and charitable organisations, and others.
 
“We’ve appointed a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager who works with our customers to help them achieve their own CSR objectives.
 
“It’s great that the FTSE Group recognises our achievements,” he adds.
