Xerox’s Worldwide Sustainability Commitment

Our Word
Sustainability is not just a nice-to-do at Xerox. It is an integral part of developing products, serving
customers and posting profits. Xerox views it not as a cost of doing business, but as a way of doing
business.
Our Work
Our responsibility to the environment focuses on four areas where we can have the most impact:
climate protection, biodiversity and forest management, preserving clean air and water, and preventing
and managing waste.
Our World
Attaining our goals for sustainability means going beyond what we can control directly. We engage
our suppliers, our customers, our people and other important stakeholders to extend our reach and
magnify our impact.

Sustainability – Focus on the environment
Xerox has strengthened and realigned its environmental goals around four challenge areas through
which we can make a significant impact across our entire value chain of products and services.
Strategic Goal Impact
Climate Protection Carbon neutral: Invest in technologies that reduce the carbon footprint of our
operations and of the document processing solutions offered to our customers. Aim to be a carbon
neutral company.
Preserve Biodiversity and the World’s Forests Work in partnership with Xerox customers, suppliers and key
stakeholders to support the development of a sustainable paper cycle.
Preserve Clean Air and Water Through Reduction in Use of Toxics and Heavy Metals
Zero persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) footprint: Xerox will strive to eliminate thee use of persistent, bioaccumulative
and toxic materials throughout the supply chain. From raw material extraction, materials processing and parts fabrication, the manufacture of Xerox equipment and supplies relies on a global supply chain.
Waste Prevention and Management Produce Waste-Free Products in Waste-Free Facilities to Enable Customer’s Waste Free Offices.
Waste is created during the manufacture and use of Xerox equipment and supplies which must be responsibly managed.

Xerox believes that industry must do its part to reduce the risk of climate change. Xerox contributes to reduced energy demand through its energy-efficient product designs and strategies for the end-of-life of equipment. We also have a long history of energy conservation within our major facilities and have implemented an internal program called Energy Challenge 2012 to support our commitment to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from our company-wide operations.

Carbon footprint reduction: In 2003, Xerox joined the US EPA Climate Leaders program and
pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from worldwide operations by 10 percent from 2002
to 2012. Through implementation of comprehensive energy management and new technologies,
Xerox reached that goal 6 years early. In fact, by the end of 2006, Xerox had achieved 18 percent
reduction in GHG emissions from its 2002 baseline. In 2007, Xerox was recognized for these efforts
by the inaugural FT/Citi Private Bank Environmental Awards. Xerox has set a new goal to reduce
total greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by 2012 from 2002.
ENERGY STAR savings: Xerox has long invested in product designs and technologies that conserve
energy and reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions. Over the last six years, greater than 95% of
eligible Xerox products met the requirements of that program with annual savings equivalent to
lighting nearly 1 million U.S. homes for a year. A new U.S. E.P.A. ENERGY STAR standard
became effective on April 1, 2007. The E.P.A.’s new ENERGY STAR requirements raise the bar so
significantly that only 25% of products in the marketplace were expected to meet the new criteria. At
Xerox more than 50% of our current product line and 80% of office configurations pass this tough test.
One example of the company’s success is the Xerox WorkCentre 5600 multifunction series of
products with speeds from 32-87 pages per minute. The WorkCentre 5645 uses 14 kilowatt hours per
week of electricity, about 30% less than a comparable multifunction system of two years ago.
Multifunction savings: In addition, Xerox multifunction systems reduce the amount of energy
required to provide customers with copy, print, fax and scan capabilities by combining the functions of
multiple products into one machine. The annual energy consumption of a Xerox WorkCentre or
WorkCentre Pro multifunction system is approximately 50% less than the combined annual energy
consumption of the individual ENERGY STAR-qualified copier, fax, and printers it replaces.
As one of the largest distributors of paper for office printers and copiers, Xerox recognizes its
obligation to responsibly produce and source paper. Through partnerships with our customers,
suppliers and key stakeholders, our long-term goal is to support a sustainable paper cycle. Starting
with the source of the fiber used to make the paper, through its manufacture and use, Xerox strives to
minimize environmental impact while meeting our customers’ exacting business needs.
Paper Sourcing: For companies that provide paper to Xerox for resale, we phased in stringent
requirements from 2003 to 2005 that cover all aspects of papermaking, from forest management to
production of finished goods. On an annual basis, Xerox suppliers submit detailed documentation that
verifies compliance. In 2006, suppliers representing more than 90% of the paper Xerox supplies to our
customers met these requirements.
Efficient use of Paper: Including reliable two-sided (duplex) printing, Xerox equipment and software
are also designed with features that allow customers to make efficient use of paper. Software products
such as DocuShare®, FreeFlow® SMARTsend®, FreeFlow Scan to PC Desktop, FreeFlow
SMARTdocument Travel and FreeFlow Digital Workflow Collection help Xerox customers reduce
Climate Protection
Preserve Biodiversity and World’s Forests paper consumption by facilitating electronic data management, scan to e-mail, print-on-demand, and distribute-then-print workflows.

The Nature Conservancy Partnership: Xerox is in its second year of a three-year, $1 million grant
to The Nature Conservancy to fund sustainable forest management. The Xerox/Nature Conservancy
partnership is focusing on forest management in Brazil, Canada, Indonesia and the U.S. It is
identifying and promoting best practices that will enable environmental scientists, forest managers and
paper suppliers to work cooperatively toward sustainable forest management.
Xerox High Yield Business PaperTM: is a mechanical fiber paper developed by scientists and
engineers at the Xerox Media and Compatibles Technology Center. Xerox High Yield Business Paper
is made through a “greener” process than standard paper used with digital printers. The sheet is
produced by mechanically grinding wood into papermaking pulp instead of using chemical pulping
process traditional for producing digital business papers. For example, 90% of the tree by weight ends
up in the High Yield Business Paper versus only 45% in creating traditional digital printing paper. In
addition, High Yield Business Paper requires less water and chemicals and is produced in a plant using
hydroelectricity to partially power the pulping process.
Xerox’s long-term commitment is to eliminate the use of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic
materials throughout the supply chain. We apply strict internal standards and, over time, have reengineered
or substituted processes to dramatically reduce the use of toxics and heavy metals. Some
examples:
