Environmental Goals and Priorities
Xerox aligns its environmental sustainability goals around four commitment areas where we can make a significant impact across our entire value chain of products and services:
Climate Protection: We invest in technologies that reduce the carbon footprint of our operations and the document-management solutions we offer to our customers. Our aim is to be carbon-neutral.
Preserving Biodiversity and the World’s Forests: We work with our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to support the development of a sustainable paper cycle through paper-sourcing guidelines and environmentally sound paper offerings, as well as products and services that decrease offices’ dependency on paper.
Preserving Clean Air and Water: We strive to eliminate the use of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic materials throughout the supply chain.
Preventing and Managing Waste: Our goal is to produce waste-free products in waste-free facilities that promote waste-free customer workplaces.
Our policy is to integrate these global environmental commitments into our core business strategy and practices. Our approach is to invest in innovation, market leadership and sound management practices that deliver measurable benefits to the environment, our customers and society, and that increase shareholder value. We recognize the importance of creative partnerships with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to achieve these benefits and maximize their value.
We are reporting out progress on these commitments on the following table
