The company”™s new program incorporates papers, resources and Web tools to help customers identify the right paper, supplies and the right way to print with the environment in mind.

“The paperless office is far from a reality as businesses still depend on the printed page for communications and information sharing,” said Frank Edmonds, senior vice president, Xerox Supplies Business Group. “Our job at Xerox is not only to provide the best technology and services for managing documents, but also to help our customers print what they need in the most environmentally responsible way.”

Edmonds pointed out that many people aren”™t considering these green measures because they don”™t have the time to figure out how. He says the company”™s new programs are a way to give their customers a helping hand.

To provide its customers with “greener” printing choices, Xerox has introduced  three additional papers in North America that are independently certified to sustainable forest management standards and new recycled papers designed for digital printing.

“It’s a logical role for Xerox to play,” said Edmonds.

Xerox papers carrying labels from the Forest Stewardship Council, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification help consumers find products that meet strict standards for sustainable forestry.
