NORWALK, Conn. -- Recognized for its commitment to sustainable innovation, Xerox Corporation has been added to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America).  The listing identifies leaders in sustainability and gives investors a way to follow companies that embrace environmental and social values.
 
"We see environmental sustainability not as a cost of doing business, but as a way of doing business," said Ursula Burns, Xerox chairman and CEO.  "When we act in ways that benefit the environment, it leads to sound business decisions that help the communities in which we live."
 
From employee training and education to integrating environmental priorities into research, engineering and manufacturing, Xerox has consistently  demonstrated a commitment to sustainability.   Xerox's four global environmental commitment areas are:

Reducing Energy Use and Protecting the Climate:  One hundred percent of eligible products launched in 2010 achieved an Energy STAR  designation.
Preserving Biodiversity and the World's Forests:  Xerox was the first in its industry to offer two-sided printing and now offers a wide array of technologies and services that reduce paper use from managed print services to advanced digital imaging.  

Preserving Clean Air and Water: Recognizing water as a precious resource, Xerox has made manufacturing and site maintenance processes more efficient; decreasing worldwide water usage by more than 25 percent since 2005.

Preventing and Managing Waste:  Through reusing and recycling, Xerox's return processes for end-of-life equipment, supplies and consumables have resulted in more than  2 billion pounds of solid waste being diverted from landfills around the world.
