Ethics and Compliance Program


The Xerox Ethics and Compliance Program is an integral part of our daily business operations and practices. Conducting business with the highest degree of ethical integrity is the job of every employee at Xerox. To facilitate this commitment to integrity we have:
  • A global, written code of business conduct available in 13 languages.
  • A supplemental code of conduct for finance employees
  • A specific code of conduct for the board of directors (PDF, 39 KB)
  • A dedicated Ethics Helpline accessible from anywhere in the world at any time and a strictly enforced 'no retaliation policy' to promote comfort in using the Helpline
  • An Ethics Office e-mail address to receive questions and complaints as well as Web-enabled reporting
  • An Ethics & Compliance Governance Board comprised of senior executives representing all areas of Xerox business
  • Annual cascade of ethics policy and message from management. Message from CEO (PDF, 67 KB)
  • Code of Conduct training required of all employees, including senior management
  • An annual ethics certification process that includes all senior managers and officers.
The Xerox Ethics and Compliance Program is overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Ethics Office reports directly to the Senior V.P., General Counsel and Corporate Secretary via Xerox’s Corporate V.P., Deputy Counsel and Chief Ethics Officer, with ongoing reporting responsibilities directly to the Audit Committee. The Senior V.P., General Counsel and Corporate Secretary reports directly to Xerox’s CEO.
