| | Sustainability
As a leading provider of digital systems, paper, and toner, Xerox plays an important role in influencing the sustainability of our environment. Our commitment to environmental improvements extends to our partners, suppliers, and customers.
We have challenged ourselves to invent new greener products and services as well to improve the greenness of current products and services. We aspire to incorporate “design for the environment” practices across the entire Xerox value chain.
New Viewing Media
 |
One approach to address the environmental impact of documents is alternative document viewing media that preserve desirable attributes of paper such as portability, thinness and low cost, while imparting the benefits of digital systems such as reuse and storage. Xerox scientists are working on new concepts for reusable paper and with organic electronic materials to enable very low cost flexible displays.

Green Services
 |
With the increasing awareness of the environmental impact of one’s operations, customers are interested in how they can measure and improve this impact. As part of our broadening service offerings we are now developing services that address sustainability. For example, Xerox provides a service that optimizes for underutilized assets, energy inefficiency, wasted manufacturing and materials, and inefficient maintenance. By building quantitative models of the impact of each process in the enterprise, we can assess the impact of changes in business processes on many green dimensions (energy, paper, waste, transportation, etc). We are also developing personal assessment calculators that let individuals look at their own environmental impact.
