"I'm only interested in working for companies that have a strong environmental strategy that they implement across all areas of their organization and supply chain -- I just can't work somewhere that doesn't proactively value the environment and take steps to reduce their carbon footprint. I'm really impressed with the actions that Office Depot takes to make their company environmentally-friendly, like their GreenerOffice assortment of products so that small business can be more environmentally-responsible, too. Office Depot is really taking advantage of the huge impact they can have on the environment, which is why I'm so excited to work here."
