Mark Richards, regional manager – South Australia, Fuji Xerox says, local activity will align with the five action pathways outlined by Carbon Neutral Adelaide and includes committing Fuji Xerox’s Adelaide offices to joining the CitySwitch Green Office initiative.
“The world is rapidly moving away from its reliance on fossil fuels to drive our economy and prosperity. This effort is about finding new ways to innovate, collaborate, commercialise and accelerate Adelaide’s transition to carbon neutrality and strengthening Australia’s reputation for building smart, green, liveable cities.
“Sustainability is a core part of the Fuji Xerox ethos and is embedded in every facet of our business operations and solutions provided to our customers. We are proud to serve as a Founding Partner in Carbon Neutral Adelaide and hope that more businesses will follow our lead in joining the effort.
Martin Haese, Lord Mayor of Adelaide says, “Achieving carbon neutrality is an ambitious goal and one that cannot be achieved without the energy, commitment and creativity of leading businesses and organisations. We are thrilled to have the support of Fuji Xerox Australia and look forward to working with the local team to learn, collaborate and influence action.”
Carbon Neutral Adelaide is a community effort to reduce the city’s emissions, provide leadership and encourage others to act in addressing climate change.
