The OEM’s report for this year gives an in-depth look into the company’s “approach and performance” in various areas of social responsibility.
The report, which was prepared according to GRI G4 guidelines, reveals that Xerox “has achieved several of its corporate “2020” sustainability goals for energy” as well as Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, Days-Away-From-Work rates and water use.
While the “primary focus” of the report is the CSR areas that “are of mutual interest to Xerox and its stakeholders”, it offers an “expansive look” at the OEM’s approach and performance in various dimensions of social responsibility, including environmental and economic. These areas include “customer health and safety, ethics, environmental sustainability, employee development, diversity and supply chain management.”
“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 OEM’s 2017 Global Citizenship Report is “organised around major areas” including Corporate Governance, Preserving the Planet, Caring for Communities and Evolving the Workplace, as well as Putting Customers First and Good Business Practices. It “continues the Xerox legacy of reporting on corporate social responsibility for the 12th consecutive year.”
This year, Xerox’s efforts in the realm of corporate responsibility have been recognised on more than one occasion, as the OEM has been named on the ‘100 Best Corporate Citizens’ list and has also been included on the 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company® list.
