In 2023, Xerox reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 110,430,000 kg CO2e, comprising 71,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 39,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Additionally, significant Scope 3 emissions were recorded, with 904,940,000 kg CO2e attributed to the use of sold products and 869,347,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Xerox has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60% by 2030, using a 2016 baseline. This target is part of a broader strategy to achieve net zero emissions across all scopes by 2040, a goal that has been fast-tracked by ten years. Furthermore, the company aims for a 35% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which confirms that Xerox's commitments are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The emissions data and targets are sourced from Xerox Holdings Corporation, ensuring a comprehensive approach to sustainability and climate responsibility.
