Xerox 2017 Global Citizenship Report Showcases Early Achievement of Key Corporate Sustainability Goals
NORWALK, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$XRX #CSR—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.
