Fuji Xerox full-color digital multifunction devices won the 2015 Energy Conservation Grand Prize for the 13th time, the highest number in the industry. This year, the products that won the ECCJ Chairman’s Prize under the Product and Business Model category, the Energy Conservation Grand Prize,*1 were two models in the Apeos Port-V series and a further two models in the DocuCentre-V series, due to their convenient usability while achieving power consumption as low as 30% of the target value specified by the Energy Star Program.*2

We were also honored by the 5th Carbon Offset Award (hosted by the Carbon Offset Network, Japan) in recognition of our carbon offset scheme—offsetting CO2 emissions from power consumption and paper usage by customers using the multifunction devices installed in 7-Eleven stores. This was a one-year scheme beginning on December 8, 2014, for the multifunction devices installed in 18,249 7-Eleven stores across Japan, and was the first of its kind in the convenience store industry. Due to the fact that a wide range of age groups use convenience stores, the scheme had a large social impact and a significant result. The prize was given for this social aspect and our contribution to carbon offset promotion.

Fuji Xerox continues its contribution to reducing environmental loads through our technological development and environmentally conscious products.
