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.
