Ricoh Industrie France S.A.S. (RIF) has been
inviting children to its factories to teach them
about the company's environmentally friendly
activities, such as materials reduction,
recycling, and waste management, through a
program called "Eco'Cleanic" since 2003.
In December 2008, the company received
a request from the local Blaise Pascal high
school whose students wanted to learn
about the role of information technology in
environmental management. In response, the
company invited the students to interview
employees and tour the factories. The 26
visiting students learned that information
technology is closely linked to environmental
activities through database creation and
carbon footprint measurement for example.
Following their investigation, the students
created a blog titled, "IT-related professions
support environmental management," which
was finally ranked 4th in a blog contest
for French high school students to present
how information technology contributes to
company's activities and development. |
