partnership agreement with the Sir Peter Blake Trust as part of its continued environmental and leadership programme.
The agreement is announced during New Zealand Leadership Week, a week of activities highlighting the strategic relevance
and value that great leaders and great leadership provide for New Zealand.
Fuji Xerox selected the Sir Peter Blake Trust because it is an iconic New Zealand organisation focused on the same

“Fuji Xerox has always been concerned with environmental sustainability, and now we are taking it a step further to
partner with the Sir Peter Blake Trust who shares these values,” Neil Whittaker, Managing Director, Fuji Xerox New

The Sir Peter Blake Trust aims to inspire an awareness of the marine environment and encourage and celebrate great
leadership.
“The Trust wants to carry on Sir Peter's work and keep his spirit and values alive for future generations. Fuji Xerox’s
commitment makes a significant impact in enabling the Trust to achieve this,” says Vicki Watson, General Manager, Sir
Peter Blake Trust.
“Fuji Xerox is committed to providing innovative solutions that help New Zealand businesses maximise efficiency and
drive out cost, but never forgetting that we have an obligation to the wider community and to our environment,” says
Whittaker.
The company want to employ the lessons Sir Peter’s leadership has given New Zealand to help the Trust establish a strong
community of leadership from a wide cross-section of New Zealand society.
Fuji Xerox is working with the Sir Peter Blake Trust to devise an environmental leaders’ award which will recognise
students making a difference.
As well as helping schools to stay at the forefront of technology, Fuji Xerox is providing guest speakers, scholarships
and sponsorship of sports teams and events.
