On November 16, 2023, Ricoh China completed another pioneering work! The IM C6010 series A3 color digital composite machine produced and sold by Ricoh has obtained the first carbon neutralization certification in the industry. This is also the first printer carbon neutralization certificate issued by T Ü V S Ü D (hereinafter referred to as "T Ü V S Ü D"), an international authoritative third-party testing and certification body. Through the purchase of Ricoh IM C6010 series products, users have offset more than 9.37 million kilograms of carbon dioxide in its whole life cycle, which is equivalent to the total carbon emissions of 2900 passenger cars driving about 10,000 kilometers, helping users to solve their carbon emission concerns during the use stage of the products.

Ricoh China said it hopes to promote more stakeholders in the industry and all sectors of the community to achieve 2050 net zero emissions worldwide by taking carbon neutral products as the core and working together with upstream and downstream environmental protection actions.

Carbon management plan and carbon offset project promote carbon neutralization in both directions

With regard to the decarbonization strategy of IM C6010 series, Ricoh China has adopted a clear and rigorous approach, giving priority to carbon-saving management in the three stages of product research and development, manufacturing and sales, and substantial emission reduction in materials, electricity and transportation. Based on this, Ricoh then selects suitable high-quality clean energy carbon rights projects to offset the unavoidable or reduced emissions in the existing carbon management plan.

The IM C6010 series product team spans all departments, including design, recycled resin development, procurement, and part molding, through continuous trial, verification and improvement to achieve the use of about 50% recycled plastics and products with high energy-saving performance to reduce environmental impact. Compared to the previous generation, the IM C6010 series not only fully uses renewable energy in assembly production, but also reduces the CFP (carbon footprint) throughout the product life cycle by about 27% through its own energy-saving performance and increased use of recycled plastics, including raw material procurement, production, transportation, use and maintenance management, scrap and recycling.

Ricoh firmly believes that the net zero emission target can be achieved only through its own efficient carbon management emission plan-led and carbon offset project-assisted corporate strategy. In addition, Ricoh will continue to give full play to the advantages of digital service companies, continue to take the green cycle as the goal, pay attention to new materials and renewable energy, and reduce waste emissions from itself and the supply chain. to promote the sustainable and high-quality development of the ecological chain of the whole industry.

Ricoh: carbon neutralization products are a way for human beings to show goodwill to the earth.

In the context of global climate change, the environmental protection responsibility of enterprises has become increasingly prominent. Ricoh has been committed to environmental protection and sustainable development, well aware of the urgency of climate change and natural ecological protection. Therefore, Ricoh actively supports the natural ecological protection project promoted by the United Nations to achieve the goal of carbon neutralization and promote the participation of all sectors of the community. To achieve the global goal of carbon neutrality by reducing the carbon footprint of products, supporting green energy projects and protecting the natural ecology.

The IM C6010 series of products launched by Ricoh has been comprehensively and carefully traced through T Ü V Nande, a third-party authoritative testing and certification company, and has partnered with ACT Commodities, a leading global integrated service provider of environmental goods and sustainable solutions, to offset carbon through a green energy project registered with the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate change.

From a micro point of view, Ricoh China has achieved the goal of carbon neutralization of its own products through carbon offset services, while from a macro point of view, carbon offset is not only to neutralize the generated carbon footprint, but also to support local economic development and provide employment opportunities through relevant carbon offset projects, bringing more well-being and development to the local community, helping to alleviate local economic difficulties and improve people's living standards. Promote social stability and harmony.

On November 16, Ricoh headquarters in Shanghai, China held the presentation ceremony of carbon neutralization certificate for IM C6010 series products.
