Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility

Being a great company is about more than just sales

We believe that each and every person has a responsibility to do their part to better themselves, their communities and the natural environment we all share. And that includes us as a company too.

We embrace social responsibility across every aspect of our business, and foster it through our connections with our staff and customers, as well as our supplier partners and stakeholders.

Our strong corporate sustainability framework aligns with the global OfficeMax vision and we aim to achieve the highest levels of integrity within all of our business practices. This includes sourcing sustainable products, social accountability, audit of suppliers and our community initiatives, which include Max e-Grants, and our sponsorship of 0800 What's Up, as well as a number of education sponsorships and business partnerships.

Max e-Grants Programme

Education is an important part of a child's healthy development, but for some families, equipping their children with the resources needed for their schooling isn’t easy. 

We believe that every Kiwi kid deserves the same opportunity as the next. That’s why we developed the Max e-Grants programme in conjunction with child welfare charity Barnardos – to provide assistance to children, preventing them from feeling isolated or left out of activities due to social or economic disadvantage.
