Today, RR Donnelley operates in 14 different time zones, on
five continents, in 36 countries and is dedicated to operating
responsibly throughout the world. This Global Corporate Social
Responsibility Report reflects our accomplishments in a variety
of important areas, including Sustainability, Environment,
Health, Safety, Diversity and Inclusion, Education and Training,
and Community.
The individual actions of our employees make a difference by
considering the environment, by helping their fellow employees,
and by being good citizens in their communities. We all
contribute whenever we turn off unused lights, follow safety
precautions, volunteer in our communities or solve customer
problems while limiting negative effects on people and the
environment.
We take these actions not because they are in our job
descriptions, but simply because we care, we want to create
positive results in the world and we are given choices and
opportunities to make a difference. When we look at all of our
efforts combined, it reveals how much we value this ongoing
commitment to operational and social responsibility.
As you read the perspectives and stories told by RR Donnelley
leaders and employees, we hope you will share in our
appreciation for these important topics, and that it may
spark ideas of your own to create opportunities for making a
difference in your own homes, workplace, community and the
world, we share.
PREFACE
When it comes to making a impact on the world, RR Donnelley believes that every choice is an opportunity to create change. From changing the type of light bulbs we use, to investing in sophisticated systems and emerging technologies that help generate sustainable processes, RR Donnelley is committed to making a difference.
We invite you to read this year’s Global Social Responsibility Report and learn more about the ways that we’re inspiring new ideas, creating progressive sustainable practices, supporting our communities, and engaging our employees all across the world.
You will see that corporate social responsibility is an integral part of our business strategy and being a responsible global corporate citizen is a commitment made in all areas and at all levels of the company. And, we’re not just thinking about today -- we’re creating paths for the future and making choices for the long-term so that our valuable natural resources will not simply endure, but flourish.
In addition to using resources efficiently, we help our customers to do the same. For example, we supply our customers with products sourced from raw materials that have been harvested and prepared in accord with best sustainability practices. In fact, we have facilities on four continents that have been triple-certified to the Forest Stewardship Council, Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, and Sustainable Forestry Initiative programs.
A key factor in our success and our ability to make an impact is our employees’ passion for supporting their communities and their enthusiasm for celebrating cultural differences. Their commitment to working collaboratively and creating a workplace culture where differences are valued, respected, and appreciated is reflected in the activities of employee-led Inclusion Councils around the world. In the pages that follow, you will learn about countless examples of our employees’ commitment to the environment, their communities, and to one another.
Operating with integrity and following the highest ethical standard is at the core of our company values. The guiding principles that are communicated across our organization govern all areas of our professional conduct and are very much a part of daily life at RR Donnelley.
Of all of our responsible business practices, nothing is more important than our commitment to the safety of our employees. And, we believe there is a strong correlation between exceptional safety performance and other operating metrics, such as quality and service. We are exceedingly proud that RR Donnelley’s safety performance is dramatically better than the U.S. print industry average and that we have attained a number of top safety performance records worldwide.
Every day we challenge ourselves to enhance and expand upon our environmental and socially responsible practices. Promoting positive social and environment change drives business growth, builds customer loyalty, and supports employee engagement. Our hope is that the efforts and experiences recounted within this report will motivate and inspire others to make a change, make a difference . . . and improve the world.
Sincerely,
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank

SUSTAINABILITY
“A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” –Mahatma Gandhi
Always a company to embrace change, RR Donnelley experienced a number of organizational changes in the past couple of years and, as we know, change can bring challenges. By way of acquisition, we welcomed several companies into the RR Donnelley organization. With them came talented employees, new business processes and procedures, and additional facilities to add to our global footprint. As you might expect, in true RR Donnelley fashion, we confronted the challenges brought on by these positive changes head on.
Over the course of integrating these new companies we shared policies, procedures and, most importantly – best practices – that supported our goals for environmental sustainability, compliance, injury prevention, quality, employee engagement, and more. Despite a few differences in approach, it quickly became clear that we shared the same values of corporate social responsibility.
The differences between the organizations were easily unified but the real measure of cohesiveness and single-mindedness that put us on the path to achieving our environmental health and safety goals came from our employees. Our integration efforts confirmed what we already knew: what makes a positive difference at RR Donnelley are our people. That is where it starts.
Our employees display a special level of commitment that leads them to report to RR Donnelley facilities different than their own in order to support their co-workers during unexpected staffing shortages. Our employees are committed to serving their communities by volunteering during both working and non-working hours. This depth of character is not taught in any employee-training course. These foundational values are at the core of who we are.
RR Donnelley employees operate with a “can do” attitude and a sense of commitment to our company that is infectious and it drives our culture. It is a culture that builds trust, accountability, and ownership at all levels of the organization. It is an environment where people can be the best that they can be. In addition, this type of culture produces tangible results: employee injuries are minimized, quality products are produced, morale is enhanced, customer relationships are sustained, and our sustainability efforts are realized.
You will see evidence of these accomplishments highlighted throughout this 2015 Global Corporate Social Responsibility Report. I hope you find inspiration in our comprehensive initiatives to promote environmental stewardship, the enthusiasm of our employees to effect positive change, and in a workplace culture that continues to inspire me each day.
Sincerely,
Creating an environment where employees feel like they belong allows everyone to contribute their best. Cultures like this drive innovations through a free exchange of new ideas.

Through more than 34 RR Donnelley Inclusion Councils around the world, employees foster workplaces where contributing different ideas is embraced. Employees share experiences and participate in activities focusing on diversity, inclusion, learning and professional development.
Our employees learn how to be accountable for inclusion through a curriculum that promotes awareness, influences positive behavioral changes and encourages leadership by example. We celebrate diversity by encouraging different experiences, cultures and points of view in our workplaces.
In addition to our Inclusion Councils and training on the value of diversity and inclusion, we have specialized areas of focus such as our Women’s Business Resource Group (WBRG) and The Employee Resource Group for Professionals of Color (POC ERG). Both of these groups provide professional development workshops, opportunities to increase business knowledge and networking activities such as personal branding strategies, leadership training and networking events. Participants also hear from senior leaders through an executive roundtable speaker series.
Our company leadership recognizes and embraces the belief that individuals who are valued for who they are and what they bring to work will strive to bring their best each day. When we promote an environment of diversity and inclusion, it helps people feel they belong, which in turn helps increase loyalty, build collaboration and foster a commitment to our mutual success.
From individual contributors to managers and supervisors, to senior leaders, we have provided pathways for employees to learn grow and build a career at RR Donnelley. We believe that no matter
whom you are or what your background is, you will find a workplace that gives you an opportunity to rise to the top at RR Donnelley.

We have a comprehensive management system so we can effectively control our impacts worldwide. This system uses a model that matches well-accepted international management standards, such as ISO and the principles of OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program. The company also received awards in the employee safety, environmental sustainability and employee development categories.
Our company has clearly defined EH&S roles and responsibilities. We empower teamwork on EH&S issues by having open lines of communication all the way from facilities to senior management. Any RR Donnelley business unit can quickly deal with any EH&S issue and can just as quickly take advantage of new opportunities to improve the environment, safety and well-being of our people. Every level of our organization has EH&S responsibilities. Regional EH&S teams give us strategic direction and improve decision-making with issues relevant to our global operations.
We have a company EH&S Policy that we make available to the public in eight languages. It guides all of our internal programs and practices, and states our commitment to “… continuously improve global EH&S performance by utilizing practices that protect employees.”
As a Fortune 500 company, we have all of the right tools, procedures, and processes in place to manage safety compliance. However, we go beyond simple compliance.
We have also created an environment in which every employee, every day, looks out for their safety as well as the safety of others. This program and our employees’ dedication have allowed us to earn a Recordable Case Rate that is 55 percent below the U.S. print industry average. Even so, our goal remains zero injuries. Moreover, this is not a goal on which we are willing to compromise. We also focus intently on employee health and well-being by improving work environments and offering health events and wellness coaching.
We not only work to ensure that our employees leave work in the same condition in which they arrived, but our goal is for employees to leave the workplace with a stronger safety mindset through the education provided in the workplace. We stress the importance of prioritizing safety, even when not at work. Our safety program includes continuous safety training for our employees’ professional and personal lives. However, the true difference in our employee safety program is the accountability of our employees.
Training at RR Donnelley goes far beyond safety. We recognize career needs and provide ways for employees to learn what they need in order to advance. For example, our leadership programs help high-potential employees improve their leadership abilities. Across our diverse business landscape, training is tailored to improve employee skills and effectiveness.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY
RR Donnelley’s Policy is to strive to continuously improve global Environmental
Health and Safety (EH&S) performance by utilizing practices that protect
employees and the environment, including reducing the quantity of emissions,
developing opportunities for recycling and pollution prevention, and using paper,
energy and other resources more efficiently. Customers are pursuing these same
kinds of goals and they are increasingly seeking to work in cooperation with their
key suppliers to improve sustainability and reduce costs.
Our EH&S story is one of good citizenship, and good stewardship of our people, the environment and all with whom we come in contact.
SAFETY; strive for100% safety, 100% of the time
■ In the UK, we were awarded the International Safety Award with merit by the British Safety Council. We have achieved the award for five consecutive years.
■ The Chengdu China facility opened in 2011 and has been recognized every year for excellent safety performance and innovative safety programs. Awards include: 2012 Chengdu City Advanced Safety Enterprise for Chengdu City
(3 yr. award), 2013 Chengdu Level 3 Enterprise of Standard Safety Management Award from Chengdu City, 2013 Chengdu City Safety Culture Model Enterprise. In 2014 Kissinger Chen the site’s EH&S Leader was recognized with “The Most Responsible Safety Manager of Chengdu Award” from Pixian County Advanced Safety Enterprise. Only ten people in Chengdu received this award with a population of approximately 8MM.
■ In June 2015, Global Turnkey Solutions, (GTS) Lodz, Poland
celebrated National Safety Month. All employees were
encouraged to take up the safety challenge and get a chance
to win a prize in a “Safety at Work” quiz. Concurrently, the
facility launched the “Safety Ideas” program. This program is
designed to enable workers to share suggestions and
solutions related to health and safety at RR Donnelley.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFET Y
STATISTICS WORTH CELEBRATINGIn 2015, RR Donnelley’s safety performance is 55% below the industry average and that is worth celebrating. Here’s why. Each year, the OSHA Recordable Case Rate for the Printing Industry is calculated. This rate measures how often employees in our industry are injured in accidents on the job. Last year, our worldwide recordable rate was 55% below the industry’s average - reflecting the exceptional safety performance that our employees continue to achieve. Safety is the first and the most important measure of operational excellence at RR Donnelley, so exceptional performance is worth celebrating.
In 2015, we had 183 facilities that celebrated a Safety Milestone of more than 1 year or 1MM hours without a Day-Away or Recordable Case. Additionally, 93 of those facilities worked an entire year without experiencing a recordable injury. Locations that reached one of these milestones in 2015 are listed below.

RR Donnelley Mexico developed a “Safety Campaign” to raise awareness and reinforce the importance of working with safe practices and under safe conditions. By continually educating its employees, the facility aims to establish a safety mindset in which everybody actively looks after their own safety and the safety of their colleagues.
Extending our commitment to our employee’s families was an important element of this campaign, therefore they developed a series of events in which employees’ spouses, children and relatives visited the plants, learned about all the appropriate safety equipment, attended EH&S conferences and understood the procedures, practices and processes in which employees must comply.
Afterwards, a lunch was provided for all the visitors, with games and activities enjoyed by the children. A Security Drawing Contest was also held so the children could artistically recreate their learning experience about security at RR Donnelley. The grand prize was a tablet and for drawings to be published in the 2016 RR Donnelley safety calendar.
An added bonus was a photograph of RR Donnelley families dressed in important safety apparel used in RR Donnelley facilities. The photograph was designed to serve as a reminder that families are one of the reasons we practice safety first every day.

Protecting our Communities by Systemizing Environmental Management PracticesThrough these management systems, RR Donnelley demonstrates its commitment to protecting the environment.ISO14001
The International Standards Organization (ISO) has developed an environmental management system, commonly referred to as
“ISO14000.” It is designed to provide a tool to allow a site to control the environmental impact of its activities, products or services,
and to continue to improve its environmental performance. As with the ISO 9000 system and the OHSAS18001 specification, this
system is intended to provide the framework for continuous improvement.
RR Donnelley sites that pursue ISO 14001 are those that wish to:
■ Use a systems approach to reduce their consumption of energy and materials and to reduce the cost of waste management
■ Continuously improve environmental performance
■ Assure and demonstrate to others conformance to our EHS Policy
■ Have an independent third-party certify its management system
OHSAS 18001: The Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Specification (OHSAS) 18001 certification is earned by sites that have efficiently implemented safety and health management into overall business operations.
ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Certifications
We have 35 ISO 14001 certifications and 20 OHSAS 18001 certifications maintained in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the
United States.
