Environmental, Health and Safety Governance
The Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) organization is charged with ensuring company-wide adherence to Xerox’s environmental, health and safety policy. The governance model we use to accomplish this task is illustrated to the right. Its central elements include clearly defined goals, a single set of worldwide standards and an audit process that ensures conformance to these requirements.
Standards and Programs
Environmental, health and safety standards are our primary tool for ensuring compliance with corporate policies and goals. These worldwide standards establish specific requirements for product safety, materials safety, packaging, environmental management and reporting, workplace safety, emergency response and asset protection. We have also established company-wide programs such as Zero Injury, Emergency Preparedness and Energy Challenge 2012 to engage and support employees worldwide.
Supplier Environmental, Health
and Safety Management
Xerox extends environmental, health and safety requirements across its supply chain. Since 1998, Xerox has asked its materials and components suppliers to meet specific environmental, health and safety requirements. These requirements were broadened in 2004 to better manage the chemical content of our products. By adopting the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct, Xerox has further strengthened its commitment to ensure that its suppliers are operating according to accepted industry standards for environmental management. Starting in 2003, Xerox extended additional requirements to companies that provide paper to Xerox for resale.
