What does Xerox do?

Xerox Holdings Corporation is a multinational corporation headquartered in the United States that sells print and digital document products and services in over 160 countries.

Affiliated Computer Services was purchased by the company in early 2010 for $6.4 billion. It is consistently ranked among the Fortune 500 as a large developed company. The desktop metaphor GUI, the computer mouse, and desktop computing were all invented by Xerox researchers. Apple Inc. and, later, Microsoft adopted the ideas.

The brand was marked up under our criteria for an Environmental Report, Animal Welfare, Human Rights, Nuclear Power, and Other Criticisms. Find out more about how we rate brands for their ethics and sustainability policies on our ethical research methodology page.

How could Xerox rate higher on our Ethical Printers, Scanners, and All-In-Ones Ratings Tables? 

Due to its good score, Xerox is eligible for Ethical Accreditation from The Good Shopping Guide. To improve its score further, Xerox should consider making improvements on its Fossil Fuels, Political Donations, and Armaments.
