As Ricoh regards environmental conservation as an integral element in all our business activities, we have actively participated the Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme governed by Electrical and Mechanical Services Department of HKSAR. The scheme aims to promote energy saving by informing potential customers the level of energy consumption and efficiency rating, so that buyers can take these factors into consideration when making their purchasing decision. " Energy Label" will be given to the equipment which has registered under the scheme. Most of Ricoh products have gained the Energy Label.
 Ricoh
is a charter member and long-term supporter of the Energy Star Programme,
a voluntary partnership between the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the Department of Energy (DOE) and private industry. We are
the first copier manufacturer to sign the EPA Energy Star "Memorandum
of Understanding" promoting energy conservation. Ricoh is the
only company to have been named "EPA Imaging Partner of the Year,"
five years running, and to have received the programme’s highest
award, "Labelling Partner of the Year" in 2000.
Ricoh continues to advance the programme through technical consultation
and active promotion of the environmental and economic benefits
of using energy more efficiently. Its promotion activities include
the creation of a nationally recognized multimedia presentation,
"The Energy Star Experience," which was cited by the EPA
for "Excellence in Consumer Education."
