Mills

Mills has taken care of British Columbia's office supplies needs since 1949. Founder Don Mills set out from his parent's home at the age of 19 to become the youngest person in Canada to establish a commercial stationery company. The company was Mills Printing Stationery Co. and today, as Mills, it continues to be a visionary family business thriving as one of the largest office supply providers in British Columbia. Blair Mills has carried on his father's legacy of care and determination while executing a vision of commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Mills customers benefit from local capabilities including warehousing, delivery, purchasing, customer service, account management, accounting, decision-making, computer systems, programming and network support. Local means flexibility and Mills can mould itself to meet individual customer needs. Mills is a leader in social and environmental responsibility and is often the first office supply company to take the steps necessary to reduce its impact on the environment. Mills is a Certified B Corporation and a member of various networking groups to promote sustainability. Mills has offered its customers a comprehensive range of options to reduce its carbon footprint including delivery via electric truck, toner and box recycling, delivery via reusable totes and a wide range of environmentally preferred products. Mills' social responsibility management practices are based on the principle that businesses have an important role to play in addressing the social interests and sustainable development goals of their community. Mills, located in East Vancouver, embraces its community leadership and gives back by actively engaging with social enterprises, unique hiring practices, and through sponsorships and donations to initiatives, foundations, and charities that aim to instill real and permanent improvements to the lives of disadvantaged community residents.
