Many Ricoh devices deliver superior energy performance by adopting unique technologies and features - such as Quick Start-Up (QSU), energy-efficient toner and low Sleep Mode electricity consumption. Ricoh has been a strong supporter of ENERGY STAR®, and we strive for "practical" energy performance to achieve the ENERGY STAR qualification while maintaining ease-of-use. We are a charter member of the EPEAT® (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) program - a comprehensive environmental procurement standard (IEEE 1680.2) for imaging equipment that helps customers identify greener products through the rating of various environmental attributes.

A green technology infrastructure can give you the tools to solve your workplace printing challenges while reducing energy usage and resource waste. Ricoh's intelligent hardware and software can help you make the most of your print infrastructure, giving you powerful capabilities such as Device Usage Reporting, User Tracking and Charge-back, Rules-based Printing and more. Our print solutions can help you extend environmentally friendly printing to everyone - including mobile employees and guests. Mobile friendly capabilities, such as Secure Document Release, help provide flexibility while combating potential energy, paper, and toner waste.

Ricoh's comprehensive technology can help you go green by going digital - enabling seamless document conversion, high-quality image capture, paperless file storage, digital collaboration and more. A comprehensive sustainability improvement plan takes into account many kinds of processes that rely on paper. Ricoh solutions give you the tools to capture, classify and route various data formats to where you need them. From digital mail delivery to paperless accounting processes to enabling the capture of electronic signatures in the field, we can help you create an efficient digital workflow that saves paper, saves energy or both.

We can help you reduce your overall environmental impact through changes in your workplace - from transforming meeting and conference spaces to reducing discarded handouts with digital presentation technology. Video collaboration between remote offices or with customers can reduce a portion of required travel and its associated CO2 impact. In addition to helping customers meet sustainability mandates and discover ways to conserve energy within their facilities, Ricoh is delivering data center computing capacity and IT services from facilities that employ sound environmental practices.
