Bechtel Corp. received an Office Depot Leadership in Greener
Purchasing Award, which recognizes its efforts to incorporate sustainability
into its procurement practices. The award recognizes Bechtel’s commitment to
environmental sustainability through purchasing greener products.
In 2010, Bechtel began collaborating with Office Depot as part
of its responsible procurement program, an effort to integrate environmental
and social sustainability into Bechtel operations and its supply chain. The
collaboration, which included developing an internal system to make it easier
to purchase green products, has increased Bechtel’s procurement of green office
supplies for its U.S. operations.
