Xerox Environment, Health, Safety, and Sustainability Governance and Policy

The Xerox Environment, Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S) organisation ensures company-wide adherence to Xerox’s environment, health, safety, and sustainability policy. The governance model we use to accomplish this includes clearly defined goals, a single set of worldwide standards, and an audit process that ensures conformance to these requirements. Our EHS&S governance and policy, adopted in 1991, forms the foundation of our environmental leadership program.

We integrate our EHS&S policy into our business planning, decision-making, performance tracking and governance processes to ensure we set ambitious goals, work effectively toward achieving them, and continually improve upon them. Accountability for the EHS&S Management Process rests with top management. Each employee has an individual responsibility to understand and support the EHS&S policy, to actively participate in training programs, and to contribute toward helping us achieve our environmental and safety goals.
