The Ricoh Group will position a whole month, starting on Sunday June 1, as "Ricoh Global Eco Action Month," with the aim of raising environmental awareness and improving understanding, and actively engaging in environmental conservation activities. As part of these activities, Ricoh will turn off the lights on all billboards and Ricoh logo signboards at all Group companies around the world on Thursday June 5, to coincide with United Nations World Environment Day. Understandably, the 100% eco-powered billboards in New York, London and Sydney will be excluded from this initiative.
"Ricoh Global Eco Action" began in 2006 as an environmental event aimed at raising awareness among group employees all over the world, and has continued to encourage employees to think and act in an environmentally friendly manner since then.
