SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Dicks and Company Basics has always been committed to social responsibility. We believe in giving back to our community through charitable support and by supplying goods and services that better aid environmental initiatives.
We are also a proud supporter of breast cancer awareness and research and supply a broad range of products where a portion of the proceeds goes towards these ends.

Dicks and Company Basics and the Environment
Committed to minimizing our ecological footprint, we divert over 85% of our company's waste (paper, cardboard, toner and inkjet cartridges) from the landfill to a recycler. We also recycle toner/inkjet cartridges and rechargeable batteries that you return to us--which we will pick up at your office when delivering an order. In addition, we recognize our responsibility to source, promote and encourage the use of environmentally responsible products and for several years now we have actively promoted items we feel have a lessened environmental impact on our planet. Read more about these products below.
Environmentally Preferred Products
Dicks and Company Basics has an environmentally friendly alternative in almost every major category of product. We recognize our responsibility to source, promote and encourage the use of environmentally responsible products and for several years now we have actively promoted items we feel have a lessened environmental impact on our planet. We have done this by tagging such items with the EPP icon in our catalogue--which has an environmentally friendly alternative in almost every major category of product--as well as by featuring them in special EPP themed flyers. We currently have nearly 1000 Environmentally Preferred Products available for purchase, and we're always on the look-out for more!
FSC Certified Products
The Domtar EarthChoice line-up of papers, launched in 2008, went beyond the recycling issue, addressing the greater problem of forest management and sustainability. These products are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the SmartWood Program of the Rainforest Alliance as having been made only from raw materials harvested from forests with sound, renewable management programs. By purchasing FSC certified products you are sending the message that you care about the environment, thus encouraging large organizations to do the same.
Breast Cancer Awareness Products
Dicks and Company Basics is a proud supporter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. When you make a purchase from our Pink Ribbon Collection a portion of the proceeds goes towards breast cancer research and education and awareness programs.
