Bringing a Sustainable Living Environment for Future Generations
Entitled the Fuji Xerox 2013 Sustainability Report, this report reveals Fuji Xerox’s commitment in allowing stakeholders to understand their business model, ethics and ideologies in maintaining economic, environmental and social sustainability through multi-contributions within the community. The report complies with the ten key principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) that ensure the protection of human rights, the elimination of abusive working practices, consideration for the environment and the elimination of corruption.

Datuk Loo Took Gee, Secretary-General, Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water. 3. Sunil Gupta, President, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (Malaysia Operations).

Apart from that, Fuji Xerox has ensured that the sustainability measurement and methodologies of the report fall within the comprehensive Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework, a structure that is widely used by global organisations around the world. The GRI is a non-profit organisation that promotes economic, environmental, and social sustainability, as well as governance performance, aiming towards a sustainable global economy.

“Fuji Xerox’s 2013 Sustainability Report is a step in demonstrating our commitment to transparency and open communication; sharing the vision for our company; giving business partners, investors and consumers insight into how we live our values; our progress towards a sustainable future and how we want to make a real difference in every life we have touched,” said Sunil Gupta, President of Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (Malaysia Operations). “A sustainable global economy should combine long-term profitability with social justice and environmental care. Organisations in Malaysia will need to step up to increase the trust that stakeholders have in them through transparent and accountable reporting in this global economy. With the launch of the Sustainability Report, we hope to spearhead a local drive to inspire Malaysian organisations to be committed in exercising economic, environmental and social sustainability in their daily operations.”

In line with the Malaysian government’s commitment and focus on sustainability, the report showcases Fuji Xerox’s efforts to practice and encourage the public to embrace green technology. Masashi Honda, Corporate Vice President, Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd & President, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, Regional Office also added, “The launch of the sustainability report simply makes sense for our future direction in Malaysia. As we constantly keep up with the ever-evolving business world, we are committed to generating positive environmental and social impact in order to bring a sustainable living environment for future generations.”

‘Genko itchi’ Unity of Words and Deeds
Adhering to the Fuji Xerox Genko itchi principle – which means to ‘match words to deeds and actions’, Fuji Xerox opens its new Malaysian Headquarters at Menara Binjai, a first grade green building rented premise known as the “Tower of Sustainability”. With its strategic location in the central economic hub of Malaysia, this new office will upgrade Fuji Xerox’s capabilities and infrastructures to better serve their customers and improve work productivity. The office is a new chapter in the history of the company as it will be adopting a paperless environment, which truly adheres to its document solutions services. In addition, the open design will foster open communication among teams and customers reflecting the transparency principle of the company.

Having invested over RM100, 000 in management and employee time in 2012, Fuji Xerox continues its commitment in contributing more to the community in this year. In 2012, Fuji Xerox achieved a recycling rate of 99.5% for end-of-life products at all their business sites within Japan and overseas. Moving forward, Fuji Xerox targets to achieve a stronger customer focus by identifying areas of improvement in their products, standardised service nationwide and maintain customer service efficiency.

At the environmental level, Fuji Xerox aims to reduce their customers’ carbon dioxide emissions by seven million tonnes per year by 2020, in addition to achieving zero landfill, no pollution and no illegal disposal from their operations in the coming years. Furthermore, Fuji Xerox Malaysia is committed to planting 10,000 mangrove trees by 2015 as it is a declining resource but one that is essential in nourishing and protecting the local marine ecosystems. To raise awareness on climate change locally, Fuji Xerox Malaysia aims to involve their distributors in the tree planting programs. To address local education needs, Fuji Xerox will be partnering with ‘Teach for Malaysia’ by lending Fuji Xerox’s resources to print learning materials in colour.

“In Malaysia, sustainable development is constantly pursued in order to not only safeguard a cleaner environment, but also sustain a level of economic development without excessive waste and pollution, while preserving natural resources for future generations,” said Datuk Loo Took Gee, Secretary-General of Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water. “To achieve this, we need to develop a sense of citizenship in local sustainability efforts by reassessing our core value systems through the delivery of quality education and empowering communities to decide on the future they want to live in. It is heartening to see Fuji Xerox Malaysia practising sustainable efforts at all levels within their corporation, and it is laudable that Fuji Xerox Malaysia has set the benchmark for multinational corporations to follow.”

Sunil added, “Sustainability is deeply ingrained in the Fuji Xerox culture and we are actively involved in our programme. In a fast-growing market such as Malaysia, we strongly advocate that companies integrate sustainability practices into their business strategies. Corresponding to Bursa Malaysia’s commitment to ensure sustainability within capital markets, we strongly believe companies are able to develop that are not only sustainable, but also competitive products and services with the primary aim of building a quality market. Fuji Xerox will certainly continue to develop and engineer innovative products and services that are of high quality without negatively impacting the environment.”

这份“富士施乐2013年永续发展报告”反映Fuji Xerox富士施乐致力于让利益关系人了解到，透过在社区内推动多样化的贡献，他们所选择的商业模式、企业伦理和思想形态对于维持经济、环境和社会永续发展的重要性。报告符合联合国全球契约（UNGC）所列出的10项主要原则，即包括维护人权、消除一切形式的强迫和强制劳动、注重环保、消灭贪污贿赂等。

除此之外，富士施乐也确保报告中所采用的永续发展评估和落实方法，均符合全球报告倡议组织（GRI）的永续发展报告框架。全球报告倡议组织为一全球性非盈利性组织，它致力于推动经济、环境、社会永续发展以及管理绩效，以落实永续发展的全球经济。它制定世界上最完整及广为使用的永续发展报告框架。

“富士施乐2013年永续发展报告显示我们致力于落实透明化作业和开放式沟通；分享我们的企业愿景、为商业伙伴、投资者和消费人提供平台深入了解我们如何活出自己的价值；我们在推动永续发展未来所取得的进展，以及我们计划如何改变大家的生活，”Fuji Xerox 富士施乐（大马）总裁Sunil Gupta说道。“一个永续发展的全球经济体必须结合长期利益、社会公义以及关注环保於一体。在现今的全球经济环境之下，大马的企业组织必须化被动为主动，透过具透明度和可靠的报告来提高利益关系人对于他们的信任。随着永续发展报告的推介，我们希望能起到抛砖引玉的效果，启发更多大马企业组织共同参与，在日常运作当中落实经济、环境和社会永续发展。”

根据大马政府对于永续发展的承诺和关注，报告彰显富士施乐对于落实和鼓励公众人士拥抱绿色科技的努力和决心。Fuji Xerox富士施乐有限公司企业副总裁兼Fuji Xerox 富士施乐亚太区总裁Masashi Honda也补充，“推介永续发展报告对于我们在大马的未来方向深具意义。当我们紧贴变化多端的商业动态之馀，我们也承诺致力于为环境及社会带来正面影响，为下一 代留下一个可永续居住的生活环境。”

‘Genko itchi’ 言行一致
贯彻富士施乐“Genko itchi”言行一致的原则，富士施乐在在大马开设的全新总部就座落在以永续发展大厦而闻名的绿色建筑物Binjai大厦里。Binjai大厦座落在大马经济中心的策略性地点，这个新办公室将可提升富士施乐的产能和基础建设，为客户提供更高素质服务及工作生产力。新办公室也标志着富士施乐（大马）迈向历史新篇章，在这个全新的总部里，富士施乐将一如其所提供的文件解决方案服务般落实无纸张环境。除此之外，开放式设计不仅反映公司落实透明化制度，也将促进富士施乐团队与客户之间的良好沟通。

2012年时富士施乐在管理及员工时间上投入逾10万令吉资金 ，今年富士施乐将秉持其承诺为社区做出更多贡献。在2012年日本及海外的富士施乐在营运场所的废弃产品取得高达99.5%再循环率。展望未来，富士施乐的目标是进一步改善提升产品、在全国提供标准化服务以及保持客户服务效率，以强化客户对品牌的向心力。

“在马来西亚，永续发展是我们长久追求目标，这不仅是为了捍卫一个清洁无污染的居住环境，同时也是希望在没有过度浪费和污染之下维持一定程度的经济发展，更重要的是为下一代保留天然资源。”能源、绿色工艺及水务部秘书长拿督吕淑玉说道。“为了达致这个目标，我们在本地推动永续发展的努力的同时，也必须提倡公民意识，透过提供高素质教育以重新评估及灌输我们的核心价值，并授权予社区人民决定他们想要的未来生活方式。我很欣慰见到富士施乐（大马）在企业内部各层面推动永续发展，富士施乐（大马）的举措值得赞扬也竖立起新标竿，成为跨国企业的仿效对象。”

Sunil补充：“永续发展深植于富士施乐的企业文化之中，我们积极参与所推动的各项计划。在一个快速成长的市场如马来西亚，我们大力提倡企业把永续发展的构思及方法整合纳入其商业策略之中。在响应吉隆坡证券交易所致力于确保资本市场维持永续发展的号召上，我们深信，在以打造高素质市场的大前提之下，企业可以开发出永续发展并具备竞争力的产品和服务。富士施乐定会继续研发推出高品质且不会对环境造成负面冲击的创新产品和服务。”
