Ricoh bites back with Total Green Office Solutions

Let’s do lunch has a whole new meaning for the team at Ricoh.

At its seventh annual Let’s Do Lunch series last week, the company enlisted Climate Project presenter Randall Pearce to deliver his version of Al Gore’s presentation on climate change, highlighting the importance for corporations to act sustainably. It will be followed by similar events in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane throughout the next few weeks.

Ricoh also used to event to launch its Total Green Office Solutions (TGOS) at the event. TGOS is a consultative service that helps businesses eliminate inefficiencies, reduce carbon footprint and adopt more sustainable business through detailed reporting on CO2 emissions, power consumption and paper use.

According to Les Richardson, managing director of Ricoh Australia, sustainability is highly important to the company. “We want to demonstrate how business, and specifically ours, can positively influence and educate the market in best practice green office solutions,” he said.

“In addition, it ensures that Ricoh imaging equipment meets green procurement mandates and is designed to minimise environmental impact at every lifecycle stage. We want to work towards a low carbon economy.”

Ricoh will completely offset the carbon emissions for the Let’s Do Lunch events, along with making a donation to the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), the Australian home of The Climate Project.
