To enhance relationships with local communities, Ricoh Group business sites issue their own environmental reports as a means of communication with government offices, residents of neighboring areas, and family members of their employees. The Ricoh Group established guidelines for the preparation of site reports on environmental conservation for its business sites in fiscal 2001, and this is currently used within the Group. The Environmental Report 2008 of Ricoh Gotemba Plant received the Environmental Site Report Award of the 12th Environmental Report Award.
Ricoh produces environmental advertisements to present its idea on sustainable environmental management based on actual company activities. In fiscal 2008, we produced advertisements with "environmental technologies" and "environmental conservation activities carried out with customers" as themes to emphasize our expanding network of sustainable environmental management by pursuing conservation activities in cooperation with customers. Ricoh's environmental advertisements are launched outside as well as inside Japan.
