Fuji Xerox awarded Ecolabel for environmental performance

Fuji Xerox range of office multifunction devices recognised for excellence in environmental performance after achieving the Environmental Choice Mark eco-labelling certification.

Fuji Xerox Australia claims that is also the first and only company in the print industry to receive the environmental product performance license for A3 multifunction devices.

Good Environmental Choice is an environmental labelling program in Australia that indicates a product’s environmental performance from an entire product life cycle perspective. The label is awarded to products that meet voluntary environmental performance standards, which have been created and assessed in conformance to international requirements set by the Global Ecolabelling Network.

“I am very pleased to award this world class recognition to Fuji Xerox Australia after its equipment met our comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment standard criteria," said Petar Johnson, founder of the Environmental Choice Australia program.

"Fuji Xerox’s office multifunction devices are world class and offer green procurement officers and green IT specialists a low toxicity, high performance and environmentally sensitive solution. Fuji Xerox's leadership in integrating environmental and performance attributes within its equipment makes it an excellent choice for governments and corporates in Australia to manage document intensive business processes."

Amanda Keogh, sustainability manager, at Fuji Xerox Australia believes that the rating will have a great impact upon the company’s reputation in the environmental sphere.

“The Environmental Choice certification is part of our ongoing commitment to minimise the environmental impact of our document management systems throughout their life cycle,” she said.

“It reassures customers that they are working with an environmentally responsible business partner who can help them achieve their own carbon and waste reduction targets.”
