As early as 1997, Fuji Xerox Company Limited made a commitment to halve the energy consumption of its equipment. By 2005, we had achieved an average 45% reduction in the power consumption rate and we continue to incorporate energy saving technologies into our equipment. The reduction in power consumption of our products is the cumulative benefit of a series of enhancements mainly around the fuser functions of the print engine. These enhancements enable lower power consumption, shorter warm–up time, toners that bond to paper at a lower temperature, and the achievement of shorter recovery times from power saving modes. As a result, when replacing old equipment with new, our customers can benefit from energy consumption reductions of up to 71%.

In 08/09 their target is to reduce group emissions by 772KT and customer emissions across the region by 932KT. This requires an absolute 1% year on year reduction in carbon emissions from Fuji Xerox Australia business operations, which will be achieved through our carbon management program. We plan to reduce our customers’ emissions through the installation of our most energy efficient devices, the ApeosPort / DocuCentre II C4300 and our award-winning ApeosPort / DocuCentre III C3300 / C2200 / C2201 models.
