Communication:Environmental Communication with Stakeholders
–Environmental impact reduction activities in cooperation with customers–
Demonstrating Ricoh’s own efforts toward work style innovations in our demonstration offices, “ViCreA”
- Japan/Ricoh Co., Ltd.
We at the Ricoh Group propose a wide range of ideas to improve our customers’ operational efficiency, to make their offices more environmentally friendly, and to optimize their work style, etc., based on our own practices and experiences. To demonstrate how we “walk the talk,” our demonstration offices, “ViCreA,” are open
to customers. In these offices, we present examples of our own practices in sustainable environmental management and seven other focus areas. In addition, a tour of our actual office is offered to visitors to ViCreA, providing real-life examples of how our solution ideas can work in their offices. We have also started to share our energy-saving ideas and measures as many customers have developed a greater interest in energy conservation in the wake of the tight power supply situation caused by the earthquake and resulting nuclear plant accident in Japan. In fiscal 2010, about
8,000 people visited our ViCreA locations in the Kanto area (the region including Tokyo and its environs) alone.
