Xerox releases 2016 Global Citizenship Report

Print Solutions GreenPrint

Xerox has released its 2016 Global Citizenship Report, demonstrates the progress it is making to responsibly provide technology and business process services while helping clients and communities address the world’s greatest challenges.

Xerox is one of the world’s top innovators and leverages this on behalf of its customers. As an example, the company and the Florida Department of Transportation are rolling out a next generation tolling system to drive operational efficiencies and provide a better customer experience. The company’s efforts in shaping the Document Technology market continue to be recognised; for the eighth straight year it was named a market leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Managed Print and Content Services.

In the US, 60% of Xerox’s employees are women, and women represent 32% of executive and senior level managers. Minorities represent 48% of employees and 15% of executive and senior level managers.

Reduced energy consumption by 12% and cut emissions by 20% – that is 65,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) across worldwide sites.

More than 2500 non-profit organisations, colleges and universities received direct financial support from The Xerox Foundation through grants, matching gifts or community involvement activities.

Social Responsibility will continue to be a central theme after the group separates into two companies, Xerox and Conduent. That is the key message from Ursula Burns, Xerox CEO and chairman, in the 2016 Global Citizenship report. ‘For more than 50 years, Xerox’s citizenship initiatives have made a positive impact on the world,’ she said. In the report, she writes, ‘Citizenship will continue to be integral to both companies when the company separates. Each will carry forward our values and culture, including a steadfast commitment to integrity, innovation, sustainability and community.’

The annual citizenship report also points out the many ways Xerox leverages technology to help its customers reduce their carbon footprint. One example, CompleteView Pro, is a tool in the managed print assessment process that analyses printing use and costs. Using data analytics, the tool helps businesses better understand the environmental impact of print output such as power consumption and CO2 emissions by device and site.

Efforts inside the company include the use of energy efficient technologies such as Emulsion Aggregation (EA) toner, which requires 30 to 35% less energy per pound to manufacture. The company also uses renewable energy sources to power facilities and engage in energy management and equipment upgrades such as utilising outdoor pipes to cool process water in winter months.
