Xerox Scientists Develop Chemical Armor to Extend the Lifespan of Xerographic Machines:

Our Commitment
Over the past 40 years, Xerox has demonstrated leadership in sustainability and citizenship by designing "waste-free" products built in "waste-free" plants, investing in innovation that delivers measurable benefits to the environment, supporting educational and community projects around the world, and many other integrated initiatives.
Reflecting a company-wide commitment to environmental stewardship, Xerox's sustainable growth plan included a 10 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions worldwide from 2002 to 2012. Xerox Corporation has already exceeded that 2012 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target, six years early, achieving an 18 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2002. Company-wide efforts included driving fewer miles, sound energy management, new manufacturing technologies and more efficient heating and cooling equipment. Xerox is now upping its goal by more than 100 percent, boosting its goal to a 25 percent decrease by 2012.
