The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body of cycling, along with Glasgow Life and CGI selected Xerox to provide devices certified to meet internationally recognised security and product sustainability standards and onsite support to the UCI Cycling World Championships which took place in Scotland, August 3 to 13.
Xerox supported the UCI’s essential print and copying services across the full cycle championships, the world’s largest cycle event, spanning 11 cycle disciplines in multiple locations, with 284 different teams and country delegations from around the world.
The company supplied a team of onsite engineering support staff and service delivery team, from Glasgow and the surrounding areas. The devices have been remanufactured near Glasgow at Concept, a Xerox Business Solutions company, in Clydebank, which was recently awarded the BSI kitemark BS 8887-220:2010.
The devices have earned Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT), Blue Angel and ENERGY STAR ecolabels Darren Cassidy, Managing Director, Xerox UK&I said: “Xerox has a proven legacy in supporting similar scale events throughout the UK, including the London Olympics in 2012, European Championships in Glasgow in 2018, Glasgow 2019 European Short Course Swimming Championships and most recently the COP26 Climate Action Conference also in Glasgow in 2021, so we are delighted to provide print services for the UCI Cycling World Championships.
“The UCI’s Sustainability Vision to make cycling one of the world’s most sustainable sports and promote the bicycle as a key transport mode in combating climate change, improving population health and building a more sustainable future for all, is fully aligned with our core values.
Our appointment is a testament to our commitment to fighting climate change, and our journey to net zero by 2040 whilst helping to make a positive difference on one of the world’s most pressing issues.”
