Xerox has announced a new managed print services (MPS) offering with the introduction of its Verified Carbon Neutrality Service. Developed to the ISO 14068 carbon neutrality standard and verified by an independent third party, this easy-to-use capability leverages global data and an intuitive dashboard, empowering clients to reduce, offset and report their environmental impact.

According to Quocirca's Sustainability Trends 2023 study, organizations are placing more scrutiny on their print suppliers, and 69% say it is important that their supplier helps them to measure the environmental impact of their print infrastructures. By providing a comprehensive assessment across a broad range of print devices, the new service enables organizations to gain better insights of the environmental impact across their print infrastructure life cycle — from raw materials and manufacturing to delivery, use, maintenance and end-of-life management. The service also includes a carbon reduction plan utilizing initiatives such as print management, recycling and remote service.

"Embracing carbon neutrality helps organizations contribute to global efforts to combat climate change, while also offering tangible benefits in terms of regulatory compliance, cost savings and market opportunities," said Steve Bandrowczak, CEO, Xerox. "We continue to make strides in our net zero by 2040 road map and are dedicated to building a more sustainable business for our employees and clients. We're proud to bring this first-of-its-kind service to our clients as we support them in meeting their business and sustainability goals."

Xerox has also developed new sustainability dashboards under its Xerox MPS Advanced Analytics offering to provide clients insights into their carbon footprint allowing them to take meaningful action to reduce emissions. These dashboards show clients how reductions in carbon emissions from their print infrastructure can contribute to their broader sustainability goals.
