In 2023, Xerox reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1,444,266,300 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 71,495,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 38,935,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 1,442,663,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This data highlights the company's significant carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the entire value chain. Xerox has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 60% by 2030, using a 2016 baseline. Additionally, the company targets a 35% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by the same year. These targets are part of a broader strategy to achieve net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2040, which has been fast-tracked by ten years from an earlier goal. The company's emissions data from 2021 indicates a total of approximately 996,764,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 89,035,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 46,973,000 kg CO2e, and a substantial Scope 3 contribution of 860,756,000 kg CO2e. This trend underscores the importance of addressing emissions across all scopes to meet their reduction targets effectively. Xerox's commitment to sustainability is further reinforced by its alignment with science-based targets, ensuring that its emissions reduction strategies are consistent with the global goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C. As the company progresses towards its 2030 and 2040 goals, it remains focused on enhancing its operational efficiency and reducing its environmental impact.
