Xerox 2017 Global Citizenship Report Showcases Early Achievement of Key Corporate Sustainability Goals
November 14 2017 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Xerox (NYSE:XRX) has achieved several of its corporate “2020”
sustainability goals for energy, Green House Gas (GHG) emissions,
water use and Days-Away-From-Work rates across operations globally
and is on track to meet most of the remaining goals.
The report is prepared in accordance with GRI G4 Guidelines and
aligns with the new GRI Reporting Standards issued late 2016. It
continues the Xerox legacy of reporting on corporate social
responsibility for the 12th consecutive year.
The report provides an expansive look into Xerox approach and
performance in corporate social responsibility areas covering
social, economic and environmental dimensions. These include
customer health and safety, ethics, environmental sustainability,
employee development, diversity and supply chain management. The
primary focus is on those CSR areas that are of mutual interest to
Xerox and its stakeholders including customers, employees,
communities, investors, suppliers and non-governmental interest
groups.
“Xerox Founder Joe Wilson created an iconic and innovative
company that changed the way the world communicates connects and
works,” said Xerox CEO Jeff Jacobson. “He also established our
ethos and a sense of responsibility that resonates within each of
us today. I often challenge our people to think about how Xerox can
be a positive force for good. I’m amazed every day to hear the
stories of giving back, the stories of our customers’ successes
thanks to the hard work of Xerox people.”
The 2017 Report on Global Citizenship is organized around major
areas that capture the essence of Xerox’s citizenship efforts:
- Corporate Governance:
Explaining how Xerox manages CSR from the highest level of the CEO
and cascading across the corporation to include each employee and
the Board of Directors who have primary responsibility for CSR
Oversight.
- Preserving the Planet:
Based on a 2012 baseline, Xerox has reduced energy consumption by
20 percent and cut emissions by 28 percent — that is 92,000 metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) across worldwide sites.
That’s equivalent to removing over 19,000 passenger vehicles from
the road annually.
- Caring for Communities:
In 2016, we invested $1M in The Xerox Community Involvement Program
which marries the voluntary spirit of our people with Xerox funding
to improve communities where we live and work. More than 10,000
Xerox people participated in more than 900 projects.
- Evolving the Workplace:
Ensuring a workplace that is safe, diverse and fair to all, Xerox
has developed easily accessible channels for employee feedback,
including the Culture Survey, conducted in 50 countries and 19
languages.
- Putting Customers First:
Our customers are partners in innovation. We use collaborative
workshops to explore the future of their businesses and identify
new opportunities to apply our technologies to create new products
and services for digital transformation that will solve their
problems and enable the agile workplace of the future.
- Good Business Practices:
Named to “100 Best Corporate Citizens” list by Corporate
Responsibility Magazine for the ninth consecutive year. Xerox was
named to the 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company® listing, one of
only 13 honorees that have been named to the list for all 11
years.
