A Word from our CEO Despite the many challenges our business, our people and our planet faced over the past year, The ODP Corporation remained resilient in the face of economic, community and environmental hardships. By holding steadfast to our sustainability commitments, as well as our 5C Culture — focusing on Customer, Commitment, Change, Caring and Creativity — we were able to achieve our environmental goals, support our valued associates and take care of our communities. We’ve been focused on sustainability for nearly 20 years, consistently providing programs and initiatives to support our commitment to be a responsible corporation and help our suppliers and customers do the same. Our environmental initiatives help limit waste, conserve energy, promote recycling and minimize the use of harmful chemicals. We also focus on greener product procurement and sales through our GreenerOffice™ assortment, which enables our customers to choose products that suit their sustainability needs. We are proud to share that we have made significant progress across all of our sustainability initiatives and achieved all of our public facing goals! We’ve calculated our Scope 3 GHG emissions to facilitate a better understanding of our opportunities for further reductions and to help us set science-based targets. We’ll also focus efforts towards eliminating excessive and non-recyclable plastics and chemicals of concern from our products and packaging. Supporting our associates and our communities remained a top focus. We introduced a new internal program, Elevate Our People, to focus on fostering a positive mindset, exploring and sharing in the vision of our future, and approaching challenges with a view of embracing them as opportunities to learn and grow. We also continued to foster an inclusive work environment with help from our robust Associate Resource Groups (ARGs). Our ARGs help accelerate awareness, education and allyship in the workplace, marketplace and community. I’m especially pleased by the recruiting partnerships organized 3.
