Social responsibility has been ingrained in the Xerox culture since our earliest days as a company, in part because our founder Joe Wilson and the inventor of xerography Chester Carlson were such advocates of corporate citizenship.

It's a rich heritage that Xerox people around the world continue to live each day in a number of areas like community investments through The Xerox Foundation, strong leadership through corporate governance and ethics initiatives, a supportive workplace through our diversity programs, and sensible and sustainable business practices through our environment, health and safety operations. Good citizenship in my view is, quite simply, good business, and we take great care to balance a generous spirit with wise stewardship of Xerox resources.

Though our leadership on corporate social responsibility is a source of pride, we continue to reach for even higher levels of performance. Our goal is to be admired as much for the tangible business successes we achieve as for the intangible goodwill and community trust we continually foster.
