II. Health and Safety
Working Environment
Supplier should maintain a working and housing environment (if Supplier provides housing) that is sanitary, safe,
healthy and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to working and living conditions (if
applicable). Supplier is required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the local fire code
standards and the proper maintenance of all applicable equipment (i.e. alarms, extinguishers, etc.).
Security
Office Depot has partnered with the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in an effort to secure
its supply chain under the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”). To accomplish this mission,
Office Depot expects Suppliers to develop and implement a sound plan to enhance security procedures. Supplier
must comply with the Security Requirements ( see section below), and the Security Criteria for C-TPAT Foreign
Manufacturers issued by CBP and posted on www.cbp.gov or any successor website. Additionally, Suppliers
should follow the European Security Standards Authorized Economic Operators (“AEO”) Guidelines.
III. Environment
Office Depot encourages Supplier to be sensitive to its impact on the environment and local communities by
enforcing environmental standards within its facilities. This extends to the timely and required maintenance of
machinery and transportation fleet (where applicable). As such, Supplier should have an effective, documented
environmental policy that complies with applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations.??
