Supplier Governance

At Xerox, supplier governance is essential to our supply chain. We hold our suppliers responsible for social, economic and environmental outcomes that can have an impact across our supply chain worldwide. As a part of the purchasing process, we assess the quality, cost, delivery and sustainability of all products and services.

Xerox Supplier Code of Conduct

In 2006, Xerox began working with the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), currently known as the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), whose Code of Conduct sets industry standards on social, environmental and ethical issues in the electronics industry supply chain. In 2008, we became an official member and adopted the RBA Code of Conduct as our Supplier Code of Conduct.

The RBA code is a standards-based approach for monitoring suppliers' compliance across several areas of social responsibility, including labor, ethics, health, safety, and environmental activity. For the past decade, Xerox has worked to maintain its compliance to these guidelines and ensure our key suppliers and partners’ compliance that support the manufacturing of Xerox systems.

Xerox has an established audit program to ensure its key suppliers are in complete, measurable compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct.

Minerals

Conflict Minerals

As an active member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), we are committed to improving conditions associated with mining in conflict regions. In responding to the Dodd-Frank Act, which we have been working since 2011, we have established internal processes incorporating the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) framework. We are a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), formerly the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), and we are utilizing the RMI Conflict Mineral Report Template (CMRT) to survey our supply base regarding conflict mineral usage. Xerox also participates in the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP), which independently audits smelters and refiners to determine if they have a system in place to assure sourcing of conflict-free minerals. In addition, we have incorporated a conflict mineral sourcing statement in our supplier contract template to assure responsible sourcing in our supply chain.
