Ricoh Americas Corporation (RAC), the Ricoh Group's regional sales headquarters for the Americas, is one of the major sponsors of the International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF). ISEF is one of the largest science contests for high school students and about 1,500 students not only from the U.S. but also from more than 40 countries participate in the final round. To raise the students' awareness of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, RAC has been giving the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award since 2005. This award is given to a study which has a high potential for making environmental conservation and business compatible. Surviving the fiscal 2006 preliminaries, the best awards were given to DJ Ray Horton from the U.S. for his study on the ecological system, and to Emily Levine and Danielle Lent, also from the U.S., for their study on recycling plastic. The award-giving ceremony was held at Albuquerque in New Mexico, U.S.A., on May 17, 2007.

Supporting the Development of Environmental Conservation Activities at Elementary and Junior High Schools  (Ricoh/Japan)
Ricoh served as sponsor for the School Eco Awards organized by the Sankei Shimbun Photo News Center. To promote environmental conservation activities at elementary and junior high schools throughout the country, the awards give recognition to schools showing achievements in their environmentally-friendly reports. The third round of awards was given in March 2007. Ricoh became a sponsor as an endorsement of the idea behind the awards, which addresses the importance of exposing children to environmental issues and making them understand that their participation helps save the global environment. |
