General Information
Xerox
®
Environment, Health, Safety &
Sustainability Policy
Xerox Corporation is committed to the protection of the environment and the health and safety of its
employees, customers and neighbors. This commitment is applied worldwide. The following principles
shall govern all business practices in the design, manufacture, procurement, marketing, distribution,
maintenance, reuse/recycling and disposal of products and related services:
• Protection of the environment and the health and safety of our employees, customers and neighbors
from unacceptable risks takes priority and will not be compromised.
• Xerox operations must be conducted in a manner that safeguards health, protects the environment,
conserves valuable materials and resources, and minimizes risk of asset losses.
• Xerox is committed to designing, manufacturing, distributing and marketing products and processes
to optimize resource utilization and minimize environmental impact.
• All Xerox operations and products are, at a minimum, in full compliance with applicable governmental
requirements and Xerox standards.
• Xerox is dedicated to continuous improvement of its performance in environment, health and safety.
Overview
To ensure full compliance with the above policy, health, safety and environmental considerations are an
essential element of the product and materials design and review process, involving internal and external
world-class experts.
Extensive system testing is conducted under a variety of simulated field and stress conditions to verify
that all the health and safety requirements have been met. Our internal test groups conduct some of
these tests while others are performed by external testing organizations.
Xerox has a long history of proactively assessing the health and safety of the materials used in its
products. We use a wide variety of methods and tests in these assessments, including sophisticated
methodologies such as structural activity relationship analysis and in vitro and in vivo testing. These
measures drive elimination of the use of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic materials throughout the
supply chain.
Whenever new information raises a concern about the safety of a product, we investigate and, when
warranted, take prompt action with health and safety considerations being our highest priority.
