Environmental Footnotes
* In 2022, carbon and energy accounting methodology was updated with an expanded boundary for 2021
Scopes 1 and 2 information. This caused a re-baseline of 2016 information and recalculations for 2017-2020
data to match the methodology used for 2021 reporting.
+ A 3
rd
party has verified and provided limited assurance of Xerox GHG emissions in accordance with ISO
14064-3:2019 against a Xerox Corporation defined methodology described in “Xerox Corporation Greenhouse
Gas Emission Inventory Management Plan, July 2023”, the GHG Protocol Scopes 1,2, and 3, and the
principles of Transparency, Accuracy, Consistency, Completeness and Relevance. The verification process
includes underlying energy data associated with operations in the inventory.
1. Values are for Xerox fleet and facilities globally, unless otherwise noted.
2. Direct emissions from natural gas consumed in boilers for facilities leased and owned by Xerox.
Emissions from facilities based on utility invoices, where available. When unavailable, estimates
are based on Commercial Building Energy Consumption (CBEC) factors. Fuel used in fleet of
Sales and Service personnel. Emissions from fleet are based on actual fuel usage and vehicle
efficiency rates.
3. Indirect emissions from purchased electricity and steam for facilities leased and owned by Xerox.
Where data is unavailable for office and warehouses in US. & Canada, emissions are
determined using CBECs factors; HFC emissions were estimated based on square feet.
4. Includes air emissions for Xerox travel worldwide, based on aircraft, load, and miles provided by
3rd party.
5. Emissions from vehicles as part of travel are included in Scopes 1 and 2 emissions.
6. As defined by Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard
(WRI/WBCSD).
7. Values for renewable and non-renewable electricity derived from local grid mixes based on
International Energy Association (IEA) data. In 2019, Xerox changed from a location-based
calculation to market-based method for scope 2 from electricity.
8. Renewable energy and renewable energy credits; not including renewable energy in the grid.
This encompasses renewable energy in the Netherlands and RECs from wind in Wilsonville,
Oregon.
9. Data reported is limited to manufacturing operations including, but not limited to, imaging
supplies such as toner, photoreceptor drums and belts, and fuser rolls.
10. Process waste includes paper, wood pallets, waste toner, plastics, and packaging;
Manufacturing waste includes scrap metal, batteries, lamps, miscellaneous trash, and end-of-life
devices. Non-hazardous waste is either disposed of directly by Xerox or disposal method is
designated and confirmed when shipped off-site.
11. Hazardous waste disposed directly by Xerox, or a disposal method is designated and confirmed
when shipped off-site. The 2021 hazardous waste values represented in last year’s report were
adjusted by 11.7 metric ton. A bulk shipment of waste was inadvertently excluded from the total
amount of hazardous waste fuels blended and the total amount of hazardous waste generated in
2021.
12. Total amount of methylene chloride used to produce Xerox photoreceptor components.
13. 1,3-butadiene air emissions from toner resin manufacturing. The operation generating these
emissions was shut down in 2022.
14. Reportable environmental releases reported in accordance with GRI definition. For year
reporting year 2021, the value was updated to reflect 1 reportable spill.
15. NOx and SOx emissions are calculated using emission factors applicable to small boilers from
EPA's AP-42, Vol.1, CH1.4: Natural Gas Combustion (1.4_natural_gas_combustion.pdf
(epa.gov))
16. Perfluorocarbon Emissions are reported according to GRI 305-6 (2016) which is for emissions of
ozone-depleting substances (ODS) that are produced, imported, or exported. Xerox eliminated
the use of all Class I ozone-depleting substances (ODS) by the end of 1992 and Class II ODS by
the end of 1993 as an ingredient in products, spare parts, accessories, and packaging. In order
to achieve this goal, Xerox identified and prohibited the use of ODS in products, spare parts,
accessories, and packaging produced internally and received from external suppliers. Xerox
manages the elimination of ODS as refrigerants in facility and vehicle air conditioning systems
and various food/equipment cooling systems consistent with government phase-out dates. In
accordance with GRI 305-6, these are excluded from reporting in this section.
17. Reverse Osmosis reject water is recycled as make-up water in cooling towers at Xerox’s Oregon
facility. Volume recycled annually cannot be accurately estimated with current metering systems.
