Ricoh is launching the 'green to-do list' to encourage businesses to become more environmentally responsible rather than just doing the bare minimum The launch follows research carried out by Ricoh, which shows that 62 per cent of UK companies now have some sort of environmental awareness policy, which typically encourages employees to recycle waste paper (89 per cent) and reduce energy consumption by turning off computers and other electrical appliances when not in use (86 per cent)

First 60ppm-75ppm Copier-Printers From Ricoh.
What are claimed to be the first 60ppm and 75-ppm copier-printers to simultaneously scan both sides of an original from an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) are now available in the UK from Ricoh.
However, Ricoh said it believes all businesses have a duty to do more to protect future generations from climate change.
Chas Moloney, associate director of marketing at Ricoh UK, said: "It's encouraging to discover that many businesses now have an environmental awareness policy but our experience suggests that this rarely goes beyond having a recycling bin in the car park.
We want to see companies doing more to help combat climate change.
If everyone does their bit, we can make a difference." The guide is said to cover everything from recycling and waste management to sustainable travel and buying from green suppliers.
Within each section, it suggests a 'so simple' action for companies to take, one that's 'easy when you know how' and a further suggestion that is classified as 'trickier but worth it'.
described Ricoh.
Ricoh added that it is currently working with Seeds for Africa, a charity which helps African communities plant fruit trees to offset carbon emissions and help them work themselves out of poverty.
It has also announced support for the Global Roundtable on Climate Change.
