Calculate your carbon footprint

Fuji Xerox Australia has developed a carbon calculator that estimates the energy consumed through the operation of an office document infrastructure. we can calculate the carbon emitted through use of equipment by understanding the make-up and age of an organisation's document infrastructure and the volume of documents copied and printed.

In many cases organisations do not have a clear picture of their document infrastructure. using data collected over almost 10 years conducting office document assessments we can create a hypothetical baseline for organisations based on industry sector and the size of their organisation in full time equivalent employees.

The calculator can also illustrate the potential for carbon emissions reduction by optimising the document infrastructure. we can show how replacing and/or consolidating devices reduces carbon footprint while providing enhanced functionality and a platform for future innovation.

This calculator excludes the carbon footprint of paper use, product manufacture, distribution and disposal. it provides an indicative measure of energy use and should not be used for the purpose of formally reporting organisational carbon emissions, as its calculations are based on informed assumptions that may vary. the calculator is most suited for use with medium to large organisations where the potential for device rationalisation exists.
