Thursday, November 28, 2024
Company's Cebu, Philippines, site also receives certification - in accordance with the CarbonNeutral Protocol - pushing Lexmark over halfway toward its goal of being carbon neutral by 2035
LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Two more major facilities for Lexmark, a global imaging and IoT solutions leader, are now certified as CarbonNeutral® office sites - an ambitious milestone for the company, which has pledged to become carbon neutral across its operations by 2035. The latest additions include Lexmark's global headquarters in Lexington, Ky., as well as its research, development and shared services facility in Cebu, Philippines.
The first Lexmark site to earn certification was the company's facility in Juárez, Mexico, which was certified as a CarbonNeutral® manufacturer in 2022. The Lexington, Cebu and Juárez locations collectively account for 51% of the company's operational carbon footprint globally.
"Surpassing the halfway point in our journey to carbon neutrality is incredibly rewarding - stemming from years of dedicated analysis, progressive strategies and innovative thinking," said Billy Spears, Lexmark's senior vice president overseeing sustainability and product delivery. "The tangible successes in Lexington, Cebu and Juárez serve as powerful examples for our other sites - further motivating future advancements."
Lexmark is dedicated to proactively minimizing its environmental footprint, focused on creating and achieving rigorous goals while providing transparency across its operations. Lexmark prioritizes quantifiable goals backed by evidence and third-party verification. These efforts are part of the company's larger Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, which looks to improve operations efficiency and deliver additional positive benefits to its people and the communities in which it operates.
"Sustainability isn't just a corporate initiative at Lexmark," Spears said. "This is ingrained in how we operate and design solutions that drive honest, meaningful impact."
