• With a goal to become carbon neutral, Xeroxa™s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are down 31 percent from 2002 to 2009, which is a result of improved energy efficiency, new technologies and improved energy management practices.
• Xerox exceeded last yeara™s goal to deliver an increase in ENERGY STAR® qualified equipment with 92 percent of new product launches meeting the July 2009 rigorous ENERGY STAR® requirements, up 12 percent from 2008.
