Fuji Xerox environmental protection campaign now a year-long commitment

TOKYO—Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. will turn its summer corporate program, which aims to enhance environmental consciousness and relevant actions of its employees in Japan and overseas, into an annual campaign. The program, called the “Love Earth Action Fuji Xerox (Leafx) Campaign,” provides all employees with opportunities to participate in environmental protection and social action programs at work, in their local communities and at home.
This year’s campaign will commence full-scale with participation in the “CO2 Reduction/Lights-Down Campaign” organized by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan, which started on June 20. Fuji Xerox will hold the Leafx Campaign, which had hitherto been held over a limited period from June through September, throughout the year, so that a larger number of employees and their families can participate. In addition, starting in July, a new contest that endorses environmental protection activities of individuals and households will be added to the campaign.     
Fuji Xerox has been running the Leafx Campaign every summer since 2003, and its scale has been expanding year by year; starting with energy conservation in the home and workplace, in 2006 the company participated in the Ministry of the Environment’s “CO2 Reduction/Lights-Down Campaign”, and in 2007 in the “Candle Night by a Million People.” The Leafx Campaign has now been made global, with the participation of not only all domestic business sites and affiliates but also 14 overseas affiliates including Fuji Xerox Philippines in 2008. The total number of participants reached 36,500.
