TOKYO, May 27, 2015 — The Ricoh Group will position a whole month, starting on Monday June 1, as "Ricoh Global Eco Action Month" and will conduct a special event, "Ricoh Global Eco Action 2015" to encourage Group company employees to think about the environment and take eco actions.
"Ricoh Global Eco Action" began in 2006 and is organized annually with the aim of enhancing eco-awareness and improving the quality of environmental management. This year will mark the tenth year of the event.
The Ricoh Group promotes sustainable environmental management globally based on the national character, differences in awareness and so on in each region of the world. A lot of people were invited to participate in eco action. To promote appropriate action, the characteristics of each country and region were reflected in the program, and fun and ease of action were also taken into consideration, and each organization within the group proceeded with the program freely. Over these 10 years, the network of participants has expanded from employees to include relatives, friends and customers, and the action program has also evolved in various directions.
The theme for this year’s event is "Sharing the ‘eco mind’ together." We will hold an event with about 110,000 Ricoh Group employees around the world, in Japan, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. As well as taking every opportunity to encourage participation in activities and sharing information via various different media, the aim is to join forces with employees, families, friends, local residents, and customers to develop the scope of eco action on an even larger scale.
Major activities for this year, the "Tenth Anniversary," are shown below.
