Its not just about office supplies!

We do not just pay lip service to caring for the community that we live in, Bates Office takes very seriously its corporate social responsibilities (CSR) and in fact we were one of the primary ‘movers and shakers’ in the office supplies world, to encourage our industry to improve the way it behaves. To this extent Bates Office was one of the first office supply companies to achieve ISO14001 through BSI and achieved Carbon Neutral status in 2007.

We were one of the few suppliers chosen by the BBC to take part at their world environment day. Our environmental credentials are such that we can count the Carbon Neutral company as a customer.

But its not even just about the green stuff!

There is more to being truly CSR than waving an ecology flag. Bates Office supports local schools and events, plays an active role in the immediate community and has a pledge to Charities who are customers of an annual donation.
