This means taking action that supports our company vision, making decisions that move us toward achieving our goals and treating others respectfully.
As a company we've made a commitment to focus on our customers' needs and desires by always asking "if I were the customer...", valuing those that work at LagasseSweet, acting with honesty and integrity in all interactions, treating others with respect and dignity, striving for quality and continuous improvement, encouraging teamwork among our associates and being accountable for achieving results.
As associates of LagasseSweet, we play a key role in supporting these values through the decisions we make and in our daily interactions with others.

- Sustainability
- We have seen that we can be socially and environmentally responsible while continuing to be successful in the marketplace. We are in a unique position to drive positive changes through our products, customer programs, supplier partnerships and our own resource management. We are committed to partnering with our resellers and dealers to provide innovative, sustainable business solutions to America's small and medium businesses. We are actively raising the bar and joining the global effort to preserve the future.
Culture of Commitment
We are committed to integrating a philosophy of sustainability into our culture and a sense of pride on behalf of all associates. Energy is high and associates are engaged in sustainability - and we feel that we have only just begun!
Innovative Product & Service Solutions
We strive to provide our customers with unparalleled service and product choices to meet their consumers' everyday needs. We want to make it easy for consumers to choose "green". We want to offer an environmentally preferable choice where possible, in every product category. These choices that customers make everyday can collectively make a difference now, and will also encourage the development of more environmentally responsible products for the future. Let's make it easy to do the right thing.
Relationships
Resellers & Dealers
We believe that sustainable solutions for the office environment are not only right for the environment, but they support the fundamental strength of our independent resellers. "High touch" customer intimacy has been the key to success, and it aligns well with the mission of sustainability. Through working together, education and tools will help our resellers join us on our sustainability journey.
Suppliers
Many of our suppliers have corporate sustainability plans, and others are just starting down the path. We plan to partner with key suppliers to accelerate efforts and collectively facilitate progress in our industry. For suppliers who have yet to begin their sustainability efforts, we will work with them to develop a set of sustainable practices tailored for the SMB consumer. Through working closely together and having clear expectations & assessments we can ensure our suppliers are aligned with our sustainability philosophy.
Internal Operations
We want to demonstrate leadership, responsibility and accountability when it comes to sustainability and our own efforts to preserve the environment. Over 60 facilities, a fleet of over 1000 vehicles and over 35 million orders processed annually, there is a great deal we can do within our own organization to make an impact.
We choose to make a difference. Please join us.
