Xerox has announced that it has been named a leader in Quocirca's Sustainability Leaders Report 2024 for the third consecutive year. This annual report analyzes how print vendors are tracking toward sustainability goals and reducing their environmental impact.

"Xerox remains committed to leveraging technology and services to drive workplace efficiency while helping clients improve their sustainability," said Terry Antinora, senior vice president and head of product and engineering, Xerox. "Through innovations like our Verified Carbon Neutrality Service and CareAR, we've maintained our position as a leader in the complete offering of sustainability-led products, services and solutions."

As sustainability assessments have become critical to analyzing environmental impact across the printing industry, the report highlights Verified Carbon Neutrality Service as a stand-out in the market. Launched in September 2024, this service was developed to ISO 14068 carbon neutrality standard and includes independent verification, providing managed print services clients with carbon footprint assessments, reduction planning support and carbon credits. Xerox is also actively using artificial intelligence to improve device performance and service quality. It is estimated that more than 850 metric tons of CO2e have been saved with its remote services powered by AI and CareAR.

The report commended Xerox for its well-established circularity program, which incorporates design, manufacture, in-use and end-of-life, as well as its channel engagement and certification efforts. Xerox has made completing its partner courses mandatory for participation in its main sales and incentives programs. This includes providing partners with campaign support and presales engagement information to help shape client conversations around sustainability goals.

"Xerox is strongly positioned to support organizations in creating and maintaining sustainable workplaces and the company offers a growing range of products and services designed to reduce environmental impact," Quocirca noted. "It has a clear strategy to enhance its products with new environmental features and expand its services to focus on digital workflow automation using AI-powered solutions such as robotic process automation and intelligent document processing."
