Fuji Xerox clears the air with Sustainability Report

Fuji Xerox launches its third Sustainability Report at a briefing on carbon and resource efficiency.

During the briefing, Fuji Xerox 's managing director Andy Lambert told the audience that the transparent communication of corporate sustainability management and performance is becoming increasingly important to customers, partners, suppliers and community alike.

"This year we have witnessed a remarkable turning point in community attitudes toward climate change, and this is noticeably influencing government and corporate agendas," he said. "The growing focus on carbon management has led Fuji Xerox Australia to improve its own carbon management and to consider how we can contribute to our customers' carbon reduction goals."

The briefing featured a panel discussion with participation from six leading corporate sustainability practitioners and commentators, including panel facilitator Murray Hogarth of ECOS, Energetics founder and director Jon Jutsen, Climate Institute CEO John Connor, Stockland commercial and industrial CEO Steve Mann, IAG sustainable business practices senior manager Pauline Gregg, and Fuji Xerox corporate affairs director Ramsay Moodie.

In spite of the increasing pressure to be environmentally sustainable, speaker Jon Jutsen still believes that there is far for corporate Australia to go. "It's hard to get companies to go beyond minimal compliance," he said.

"Energy efficiency still has a low voice and there's a problem with understanding what it takes to achieve it."

Since launching the Sustainability Report, Lambert has noted a keen interest from readers - particularly amongst Fuji Xerox staff. "If staff believe in the report and see the value in it then it's paid off," he said. "Staff have all responded well to the report each year."
