Les Richardson, managing director of Ricoh Australia says, “Climate change is such an important issue. We want to demonstrate how business, and specifically ours, can positively influence and educate the market in best practice green office solutions.

“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”, he added.

At the launch event Stuart Haywood, Ricoh’s group product manager for Office Automation, introduced Total Green Office Solutions and Ricoh’s new @Remote Green Reporting – which the company says helps businesses measure their printing fleet’s CO2 emissions, paper usage and power consumption.

The keynote speaker at the Lets Do Lunch event was Randall Pearce – a climate messenger trained by Al Gore – who delivered a presentation titled Our Choice, the follow up to the globally successful An Inconvenient Truth.

Ricoh’s event on 10 September in Sydney was Pearce’s first time delivering Gore’s Our Choice message. It will be followed by similar events in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane throughout the next few weeks.
