We believe that ensuring the earth's future viability needs affirmative action today from businesses and the community. It also means educating and empowering the adults of tomorrow.
Environmental Management System ISO 14001
Ricoh became New Zealand's first office equipment supplier to be accredited with ISO 14001 in 2001. ISO 14001 is a worldwide certification, primarily focused on what the organisation does to eliminate or minimise harmful effects caused by its activities on the environment. Additionally, all major Ricoh production sites in the world are ISO 14001 certified.
Carbon neutral
In 2008, Ricoh became the first document solutions company in New Zealand to become carbon neutral. This has been recognised by the achievement of carboNZeroCert™ certification. In addition to our own business operations, Ricoh has voluntarily decided to offset the emissions associated with our customer's use of energy efficient Ricoh multifunctional devices and printers. Your organisation's carbon footprint will be reduced because we take responsibility for offsetting the electricity consumed by your Ricoh equipment.
The carboNZero certification programme is a Crown Research Institute led initiative.
