In 2023, Xerox Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,444,663,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes 71,495,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 38,935,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 1,426,630,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (869,347,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (402,890,000 kg CO2e). Xerox has set an ambitious commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, encompassing all scopes of emissions (1, 2, and 3). This long-term goal reflects the company's dedication to addressing climate change and reducing its overall carbon footprint. The net zero target was established in 2023, indicating a proactive approach to sustainability. The emissions data for 2022 shows that Xerox's global emissions were approximately 1,576,884,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 86,078,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 44,157,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which were reported at 1,576,884,000 kg CO2e, indicating areas for potential improvement. Xerox's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Xerox Holdings Corporation, which oversees the company's sustainability initiatives. The commitment to net zero and the detailed emissions reporting underscore Xerox's role in the broader context of corporate responsibility and climate action within the technology sector.
