IKON IS COMMITTED / to a Program of Environmental Stewardship

IKON’S COMMITMENT / to a Greener World

IKON helps our customers design document efficiency strategies that are both cost-effective and promote the use of sound environmental strategies to help create a cleaner,healthier world. Some of these strategies include:

• Using multi-function devices that copy, fax, print and scan within one-unit, resulting in reduced physical space requirements for the device, reduced energy consumption and reduced supply storage space requirements.
• Creating electronic document workflows to reduce the amount of hardcopy output.
• Utilizing scan-to-email technology to distribute documents electronically, and store scanned documents in an electronic repository.
• Using digital technology to print materials on-demand — where and when they are needed — reducing obsolescence and document storage requirements.

Environmental initiatives are in place throughout IKON locations in North America and Western Europe. These initiatives include reuse of materials, when possible; reduction of waste; and partnering with vendors who practice environmental conservation initiatives.

IKON utilizes cost-effective business practices that support the following principles:

• Conservation of natural resources such as water, energy and materials.
• Protection of the environment by using products, whenever possible, composed of recyclable or reusable recycled materials and that cause as little environmental input as possible during manufacture, use and disposal.
• Act in an environmentally responsible manner to minimize the impact to our employees, community and the environment.

Company-wide use of electronic communication (e.g.,conference calls, e-mail, online tracking logs, training classes, invoices and electronic funds transfer for billing/ payment) tremendously reduces paper usage and travel.

IKON actively recycles where possible, including aluminum, computer paper, white bond and book paper, laser printer cartridges, newspapers, plastic, shipping cartons and packing materials.

Equipment Remanufacturing — IKON Certified Series

IKON remanufactures more than 10,000 office equipment devices every year, saving environmental resources and reducing waste disposal, while providing customers with high-quality, low-cost alternatives to newly manufactured equipment.

IKON's remanufacturing operations remanufacture select copier and multi-function devices for distribution in North America as the IKON Certified Series. The IKON Certified Series program provides customers with access to highquality, “like-new” zero-meter equipment and reconditioned devices that cost less than they would if purchased new. IKON assures the quality and integrity of all IKON Certified Series equipment through a rigorous 120-step process for remanufacturing and reconditioning.

The remanufacturing process involves the thorough disassembly, inspection, cleaning and testing of these devices. During the process, key internal parts are replaced and/or refurbished, with the intention of restoring original performance, appearance and durability to the product.

• In terms of weight, well over 90% of the postconsumer material found in the product is retained for the remanufacturing process, including the chassis, major subassemblies, electronics, and panels.
• For fiscal year 2007, IKON’s remanufacturing operations recovered and reused more than 4.85 million pounds of material.
• Parts that are deemed unsuitable for reuse are shipped to a recycler, who separates the waste into useful raw materials, such as metals, glass and plastics.
• During fiscal year 2007, IKON recycled 32,120 pounds of bond paper, 34,320 pounds of cardboard, and 55,000 pounds of various metals.
• IKON’s remanufacturing operations is ISO9001:2000 registered, and is a producer of UL listed remanufactured equipment.

In addition, IKON UK and IKON Denmark recently earned the prestigious ISO-14001-2004 accreditation. ISO-14001-2004 provides IKON UK and IKON Denmark with an externally audited accreditation that demonstrates good environmental practices.
