As part of the company’s goal to reach net zero emissions by 2040, Xerox implemented climate change awareness training for all employees worldwide to educate them on the company’s net zero goal and how they can personally contribute.

The company also reduced energy consumption in its operations, which accounts for a majority of its GHG emissions, by 12.8% in 2021 compared to 2020.

Additional highlights from the report include:

  • Launching Xerox Volunteer Days in which more than 500 employees volunteered more than 7,000 hours in their local communities.
  • Executing on the company’s robust Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging roadmap, leading to an increase in the diversity and inclusivity of Xerox’s workforce.
  • Integrating Environment, Social, and Governance metrics in the compensation criteria for senior management.
  • Collaborating with the EPA on the development and roll out of ENERGY STAR criteria for remanufactured products and launching three new remanufactured models that certified to the new standards.

The initiatives included in the 2022 Global CSR Report align with Xerox’s legacy of innovation by leveraging emerging technology to solve real-world challenges. Xerox leveraged CareAR to differentiate its service experience, avoiding more than 269,000 metric tons of Co2 by reducing client site visits by more than 21,000 in just one year thanks to CareAR’s remote support capabilities. Xerox also received a grant from the Department of Energy’s building technology office to advance the company’s efforts in the Cleantech space to reduce humankind’s negative environmental impact.

Xerox prepared the 2022 CSR report according to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
