Xerox Managed Print Services (MPS) customers will
have the opportunity to contribute to the reforestation of global forests
through Xerox's new partnership with PrintReleaf. Based on a theme of "You
print one, we'll plant one," PrintReleaf leverages paper usage reporting
and equates the number of trees needed to reforest that usage on an equivalent
basis into geographic areas of need.
Xerox customers around the world will be able to
sign up for PrintReleaf as an add-on to a managed print services contract.
Through an online portal, Xerox will help customers select the managed forestry
projects into which their trees will be planted, in addition to tracking and
reporting on their direct reforestation impact.
"From our Green World Alliance program to the
Xerox Print Awareness Tool, we have long been known for our dedication to
sustainability," said Wendi Latko, vice president, Environment, Health,
Safety & Sustainability, Xerox. "With PrintReleaf, now we're able to
take that commitment one step further by empowering our MPS customers with a
certification system that will accelerate and promote their efforts as stewards
of the environment."
"Xerox's roots in sustainability make it an
ideal partner for us in our continued work towards a more sustainable
planet," said Jordan Darragh, CEO and founder, PrintReleaf. "This
partnership holds great potential as we expand our network of PrintReleaf users
and reach new reforestation goals."
