Xerox Named to Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America Indexes

Business Wire
Xerox (NYSE:XRX) has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability
World Index (DJSI World) for the first time and the Dow Jones
Sustainability North America Index for the third consecutive
year.
In the categories of corporate code of conduct, corporate
governance and environmental management and reporting, Xerox
exceeded the average score of DJSI World Members. Xerox was one of
nine companies in the IT and software services sector to make the
DJSI industry list and scored higher than most of the other
industry members on all DJSI dimensions (economic, environmental
and social).
"To be recognized as a leader in sustainability is validation of
our long-standing commitment to corporate social responsibility
that is core to our business, operations, products and solutions
throughout the world,” said Flor Colon, Xerox Corporate Social
Responsibility council chair.
Xerox partners with its clients to develop next-generation
solutions. Some recent examples in transportation include:
- New trip-planning apps for the
cities of Denver and Los Angeles allow commuters to plan their
transit journeys from door-to-door using buses, subways, car
sharing or other modes of transportation. The apps, Go LA and Go
Denver, include an “eco-friendly” option – essentially routes that
build in some amount of walking.
- Dynamic pricing strategies are
making it easier to find parking spots where and when drivers need
them in cities such as Indianapolis and Los Angeles. This reduces
congestion and carbon emissions because drivers spend less time
circling the block looking for a place to park.
- Conversely, electronic toll
collection keeps traffic moving – crucial at a time more
vehicles are competing for capacity on the same roads. The use of
electronic toll collection (ETC) technology gets cars through
tollbooths quick, reducing idling time.
David Blitzer, Managing Director and Chairman of the Index
Committee, S&P Dow Jones Indices commented, “With 2016 likely
to be the hottest year on record, investors are again reminded that
companies’ environmental and sustainability efforts are crucial to
their financial outcomes. The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices are
comprehensive benchmarks of companies that meet RobecoSAM’s
sustainability standards and give investors tools to develop global
allocations that reflect sustainability factors.”

Launched in 1999, the DJSI World is the gold standard for
corporate sustainability and the first global index to track the
leading sustainability-driven companies based on RobecoSAM’s
analysis of financially relevant Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) factors and S&P DJI’s robust index
methodology.
RobecoSAM invited the world’s largest 3,400 companies from
developed and emerging markets to take part in its annual Corporate
Sustainability Assessment (CSA). Only 317 companies, including
Xerox, have been chosen as the DJSI World constituents for the year
2015-16.
