Fuji Xerox to Reduce CO2 Emissions by 30% from Its Product Lifecycle Stage by 2020

Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., announced on February 16, 2009, that it aims to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across the lifecycle of all products and services by 30 percent from 2005 levels by fiscal 2020.

The entire lifecycle refers to all stages from research and development, procurement, production, distribution, end-user power consumption to recycling. As part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at home and abroad through the entire product lifecycle, Fuji Xerox will innovate now technologies to promote energy-saving products, improve production methods and further introduce renewable energy sources, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions from about 1.7 million tons in FY2005 to about 1.2 million tons by FY2020.

The company has examined its responsibilities and expected role in achieving the targets set in the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit Leaders Declaration of July 2008, which called for a global target of halving GHG emissions by 2050. As a result, the company has set quantitative reduction targets in line with possible scenarios up to FY2020, as well as identified key issues for achieving these targets.
