Sustainability Mark for Green Product Identification Xerox is demonstrating its commitment to sustainable practices with a brand new mark, to reinforce the company's actions specifically related to paper offerings. The mark will start to appear on product marketing materials and packaging in 2008. This helps make it simpler for customers to select the right papers to meet both their sustainability goals and printing needs. The mark will be accompanied by a description of how Xerox supports the development of a sustainable paper cycle, specific paper benefits and a web link for more details.
Xerox's Paper and Supplies Sustainability Web portal provides easy-to-use resources to help customers assess their paper choices and the environmental impact throughout the paper's lifecycle. Tools include a comprehensive paper reference guide that educates customers about environmentally responsible paper choices, a sustainability brochure with tips for "greener" printing, Webcasts from industry experts discussing sustainability practices and links to the Xerox Green World Alliance recycling program and other sites about Xerox's environmental initiatives.
In 2003, Xerox implemented stringent environmental requirements for suppliers that cover all aspects of papermaking, from forest management to the production of finished goods. As part of its sustainability strategy, Xerox is committed to preserving biodiversity and the world's forests and has established the goal of creating a sustainable paper cycle. The Xerox paper policy ensures that its products are produced from an effective wood procurement process, with sustainable forestry practices and continual mill improvements that exceed mandatory regulatory compliance. In addition, Xerox established a $1 million grant over three years to The Nature Conservancy. The Nature Conservancy-Xerox 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 improved sustainable forest management practices.
