Non-production sites of the Ricoh Group carry out energy-saving and Zero-Waste-to-Landfill activities using the PDCA cycle, adopting the same concept as production sites. They quantify the environmental impact of air-conditioning facilities, lighting, disposal of waste, etc.
to see which part of the offices causes a higher environmental impact. Based upon the quantified data, systematic efforts are made to carry out measures with greater effects.
The Ricoh Group promotes measures for improvement incorporating even the revision of employees' working styles and workflows, including how to manage documents and use of telephones and computers, so that environmental impact can be reduced and operational efficiency improved to a greater degree.
We will continue to engage ourselves in sustainable environmental management of offices through the renovation of working styles.

 - Control CO2 emissions in non-production activities so that they will not exceed the emissions in fiscal 2006 (Ricoh and non-manufacturing subsidiaries in Japan)
CO2 emissions in offices were reduced by 5.1% from fiscal 2006, as a result of improvement activities incorporating the revision of working styles and workflows. Activities participated in by all employees were also continued,
and a campaign to have all employees leave the office without working overtime on particular days has produced significant results. Activities to promote the use of energy-saving features of Ricoh products in our own offices are also carried out, which have led to reduced environmental impact,
and information obtained is being used as know-how to be referred to when we recommend such features to customers.
|
Particular efforts will be made for the reduction of CO2 emissions, mainly through the improvement of operations. The know-how obtained will be shared within the Group,
while being accumulated as know-how to be used in the office solution business as well as in recommendations to be provided for our customers.
