“Acting locally, thinking globally”

Corporate Responsibility is high on the agenda of those in government and business, focusing attention more closely than ever on human rights and the environment, at local and global level.

As a major supplier for office stationery Lyreco believes passionately that we can contribute in a positive, proactive manner and believe this can only be achieved if we have a clear vision of our objectives and then ensure they are measured and reported on a regular basis.

Why are we having a CR strategy? How will it be integrated into our business?

Our goal is simply to become the benchmark organisation in our industry for CSR with a real focus on four key areas:

Community, Marketplace, Workplace and Environment.

Our Mission

In today’s marketplace we believe that economies of scale and proactive approach to sustainable office solutions need to underpin our goal to become the benchmark on CSR. Our vision is therefore an aggressive growth strategy

Being a financial profitable company demonstrating organic growth on both the sales and profit line combined with Best in Class efficiency will allow continued and ongoing investment, stretching further opportunity and job security for all our employees’. We believe this is the fundamental starting point for sustainable CSR.

Our strategy to achieve this:

• An employer of choice
• Business, community and improved focus
• The customers first choice
• The leading strategy company in the market offering real innovation and value in both CSR and e-commerce
• United, flexible, driven and determined to increase productivity and efficiency
• A business which is easy and fun for our suppliers to deal with while at the same time knowing they have to offer total value, brilliant service and consistent innovation.

Local focus, global support

Lyreco now operating in 28 countries is committed as a group to CSR excellence with our CEO Eric Bigeard signing the Global Compact Agreement in 2005.

While our focus is on the UK & Ireland and very much our local issues our group prospective is to ensure we share Best Practice and offer benefit from a truly multi culture approach. This group focus is underpinned by our core group values; Passion, Respect, Professionalism, Excellence.
