As early as 1969, Xerox was a pioneer in sustainability. We introduced the two-sided copier and helped charter the Energy Star® program. Through the years, we have developed equipment, inks, recycled papers, and processes that reduce energy consumption, waste, and toxins (such as PBTs) throughout the supply chain. Xerox DocuShare is another powerful tool that helps our company and our customers preserve the environment.

DocuShare enables you to achieve your sustainability goals by automating paper-based processes and providing secure access to important information from anywhere in the world. Remote workers, customers, partners, and vendors can get access to the information they need, when they need it. Reducing the printing and ground and air delivery of documents around the globe results in dramatically less paper and power usage, as well as reduced emissions and fuel consumption.

Today, many organizations have “green” and “sustainability” goals, and companies of all sizes, across all industries, can easily move closer to a paperless environment while operating more efficiently and gaining competitive advantages.

The environmental impact is quantifiable. One county government was able to reduce literally tons of paper and automobile emissions by automating their paper-based processes so they no longer print or mail the documents that are critical to their day-to-day processes. They also gained an added, welcome benefit—tremendous ROI. They saved hundreds of thousands of dollars while delivering greater value and service to the community and minimizing their carbon footprint.
