Total Green Office Solutions

At Ricoh, 'going green' is more than just about social responsibility. In today's economy, environmental issues have real business implications: costs of natural resources are soaring as supplies dwindle, not to mention the European Union's (EU) possible restriction of imports from nations that do not implement adequate environmental measures. This is why Ricoh has committed itself to develop a business strategy with sustainable environmental management at its core.

From green product design, manufacture of energy efficient equipment, consulting to provide our customers with energy efficient office solutions, right down to the collection and recycling of our products, everything we do helps reduce usage of energy and resources, even as we push limits of technology and productivity.

Yes, doing our part to conserve the environment is important, but doing so in a way that gives us and our partners a way to enjoy tangible benefits and sustainable growth is why the Ricoh way makes real business sense.

Ricoh created the concept of total green office solutions as a practical way to channel our expertise in sustainable technologies into real performance gains and cost savings for business.

Green Consultancy

As a leader in environmental management, we understand the importance of corporate sustainability – for our business and our customers. So we have developed tools that deliver real, measurable green outcomes – and cost savings – for your organisation.

Consult
Via our consultancy service, Ricoh staff can audit and analyse your current device usage, energy consumption and paper use. Based on this information, we will create an optimisation scenario which not only reduces your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but also reduces your energy use, paper costs and CO2 impact. Your organisation will realise significant business process improvements, making it leaner and greener.

Compare and assess Ricoh's Green Calculator provides an estimate of the energy consumption of your current fleet, including Ricoh and non-Ricoh devices. These are compared against proposed new Ricoh devices, using 'typical electricity consumption' (TEC) values -- an independent energy usage indicator method developed by Energy Star. You can choose to display the values as: kWh's of power consumed CO2 emissions in kilograms Electricity cost in local currency Amount of trees that need to be planted to offset CO2 emissions Energy and paper consumption of proposed Ricoh devices can also be projected with Ricoh's Green Calculator, using our internal benchmarking data. This allows a more accurate projection of the proposed Ricoh fleet compared to using TEC values alone.

Monitor and audit The Ricoh @RemoteTM Intelligent Management System monitors Ricoh networked printers and MFPs at multiple locations, enabling you to identify over and under-utilised print devices, automate service and maintenance tasks (including meter billing) and minimise total cost of ownership by shifting print volumes to lower cost devices.
