Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific joins Global Reporting Initiative

Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific has become the first company in the document management and solutions field to be a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Gold Community Member. This achievement, as well as Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific's participation at the 5th GRI global conference held earlier this year, further strengthens the company's leadership in sustainability issues in the Asia Pacific region.

The company's membership in the GRI Gold community will expand the reporting disclosure system for its businesses in the region, but also raise sustainability awareness and execution. "This partnership with GRI underscores Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific's long-term commitment to sustainability and the initiatives we have already been implementing in line with sustainable business practices," said Janet Neo, Head of corporate sustainability, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific. "With this membership, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific is raising the sustainability bar to the next level by ensuring our sustainability reporting remains at the forefront of GRI reporting standards to create new value for our stakeholders and how our business can drive action towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals." 

Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific aligns its business operations to support Fuji Xerox's global sustainability commitment, which is to reduce its regional carbon footprint across its value chain by 30% by 2020 and to lead its customers, partners and vendors on sustainability issues. The company has also implemented an integrated resource recycling system to reuse parts across the document management and printing ecosystem, and provides leadership to the Asia Pacific business community by engaging its customers on what sustainability and reduced carbon footprint means.

"Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific sees corporate social responsibility as synonymous with corporate management," Neo said. "We believe that sustainability must be at the core of all business in order for economies to thrive and businesses to succeed. Such thinking shapes the values and culture of the company as we continue to develop innovative solutions that foster sustainable economic growth."
