Long before eco-friendly became fashionable, RICOH acknowledged a corporate responsibility to minimize impact on the environment. In 1976, RICOH established a company Environmental Promotion Section. Our journey has taken us through Zero-Waste-to-Landfill to ISO 14001 certification in all Ricoh manufacturing facilities. It has also influenced Ricoh’s approach to innovation through creating Green features on our equipment, thus allowing our customer to reduce their overall CO2 footprint. RICOH’s combined initiatives throughout the past 34 years have resulted in the company being recognized as one of the top 100 most Sustainable Companies in the World.At Ricoh, we call our Technology solutions “The Total Green Office”. These solutions allow our customers to maximize Security and Energy savings through our energy efficient devices. Ricoh’s devices incorporate power reduction features, duplex printing to reduce paper consumption as well as software solutions, Copy Fleet Optimization and recyclable consumables. Our practice is to work closely with our customers so that we can mutually achieve our goals and create new ways to reduce our CO2 footprint on the planet. We strive to promote technological innovation while at the same time maintaining and improving our environmental conservation systems. In the development, design and operation of factory facilities, we always consider the impact on the environment through the reduction of pollution and waste disposal in a responsible manner. This is achieved through utilizing energy and resources effectively.Ricoh has developed initiatives and policies to ensure that by the year 2013 we will have reduced our CO2 and GHG emissions world-wide by 25% over the year 2000 levels. By the year 2050 we anticipate our C02 and GHG emissions will be reduced by 50%.

Corporate Social Responsibility – Sponsor of the 2010 Olympic GamesOur main goals for the 2010 Olympic Games were to provide VANOC (Vancouver Organizing Committee) with technology solutions that reduced paper and energy consumption with the ability to have tight control over their output devices. By implementing PrintAudit and Print Director applications, Ricoh is able to significantly reduce and measure both output (paper), and energy. @Remote and standard defaults such as auto Duplex printing, Timed Shut Down & Start Up and Draft Mode further enhance the savings potential to VANOC. Ricoh’s Quick Start Up (QSU) technology makes it possible for machines to go into sleep mode, yet still produce the first copy in less than 15 seconds. The result is reduced energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions to less than 6 lbs per week.

The technology introduced by Ricoh (pre-Games through Olympic and Paralympic Games), introduced new practices for reporting of the Games. This not only enables continuous and real time monitoring of output, but most importantly will create a base-line for output control for future Games and beyond.

These innovations required collaboration from partners like PrintAudit (for Print Director), and EFI (for Digital Storefront - electronic job submission) and have provided a methodology to control the expected 17,000,000 imprints that will be made from pre-Games, through to the significant ramp up of Games time. For a copy of Ricoh’s sustainability report, please visit: http://www.ricoh.com/environment/report

We live by a philosophy we call, “Our earth, Our tomorrow”. It’s a statement embodying the idea that because we all share the planet, we are all obligated to protect and preserve it.

Green technology conserves our natural resources; is environmentally friendly and keeps the future in mind. Otherwise known as clean technology; the goal of green technology is to find ways to produce technology without depleting the Earth of its natural resources and produced in a way that it can be re-used and recycled and has less waste and pollution during production and consumption. Green, or clean technology, can embody energy output, building design, purchasing methods, chemistry and nanotechnology. Basically the bottom line is to conserve the natural environment and resources by keeping sustainable development at the core and ensuring a sound triple bottom line.

Montreal’s Public Bike System, otherwise known as BIXI, is an example of Green technology. The software behind BIXI tracks the bikes, their locations, as well as the solar panels that run the system as well as the electronics. The software also tracks traffic patterns, usage patterns, volume and preferred locations. The Bixi System’s stations and docks rely solely on solar power, making them very mobile, and easily be relocated anywhere in the city. BIXI users never have to worry!

Bixi seems to be really catching on –about to be picked up by Melbourne, Minneapolis and possibly New York City. This increased demand and popularity is expected to bring many jobs to Montrealers, Stay tuned!Go to: http://montreal.bixi.com/career

WHISTLER BLACKCOMB, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADASprawling across two 7,000-foot peaks in the Coast Mountains just north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Whistler Blackcomb is one of the world’s premier ski resorts. The resort’s connection with The Natural Step (TNS) began in March 2000 when members of the ski operation’s senior management team attended one of Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt’s community presentations. The resort subsequently became one of The Resort Municipality of Whistler’s six Early Adopters, committing the company to learn more about the TNS Framework, use it to improve the resort’s sustainability performance, and to work with the other Early Adopters to develop ways to share their collective learning with the wider community.Whistler Blackcomb uses the TNS Framework to support its ongoing sustainability planning. While the company’s EMS remains the primary document through which it articulates its environmental work, the EMS is informed by the TNS Framework along with the National Ski Areas Association Sustainable Slopes guidelines and Whistler’s 2020 Sustainability Strategy.To obtain a copy of the case study from TNS, go to:

BUILD YOUR SUSTAINABLE CAREER AT WorkCabin.ca

WEBSITES OF THE MONTH

A cabin. A forest. And a commitment to the environment. These three things helped provide the inspiration for an eco-entrepreneurial startup back in late 2007 designed to specifically help people, like Concordia students, find their dream green jobs.

WorkCabin.ca, known today as Canada’s Environmental Jobs Site, is the country’s first dedicated professional environmental job site for connecting qualified job seekers with quality environmental jobs. Its base camp of online operation is a 30-acre pine and hardwood forest in Canada’s Carolinian Zone, the country’s most fragile and at-risk ecosystem. (An old cabin, now crumbling, is slowly being overtaken by nature.)

WorkCabin is privately-funded and is operated by conservationists who love getting their hands dirty planting trees, and working to improve habitat for plants, animals, birds and amphibians. To support institutions which are training tomorrow’s green workforce, the site has a Canadian University Partnership Program which allows universities, including Concordia, to use WorkCabin.ca on a complimentary basis to fill environmental-related faculty, research or sustainability positions.The site attracts about 100,000 views per month, and is now one of the fastest growing niche job sites in Canada. It typically has between 40 and 60 quality environmental jobs posted at any given time from leading Canadian organizations and businesses. The site’s focus is on quality environmental jobs. Quality jobs are best described as sustainable career opportunities that offer future growth in terms of advancement and wages. Career-track job postings are another focus. These are also ideal for university grads seeking to get their foot in the door in fields related to their areas of study.The spring of 2010 is going to be an exciting time for WorkCabin.ca. Major website redevelopment has been ongoing behind the scenes since the fall of 2009. A revamped site will soon launch featuring more tools to help job seekers better connect with employers.

GOING CARBON NEUTRAL Simon always tries his best to reduce his share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: he rides his bike or takes public transit whenever he can, prefers to travel by train or bus rather than fly, and avoids using his air conditioner as much as possible. However, in his work as a carpenter, Simon finds he has no choice but to drive his truck every day, as his tool box is heavy and difficult to move around. He also needs to fly to France every year to visit his parents. Simon therefore knows that he is contributing to climate change, and feels both guilty and powerless whenever the subject of air pollution comes up.

It is impossible for Simon, as it is for most other people, to eliminate every activity that produces carbon dioxide. Almost everyone has to travel by air occasionally, and many people cannot avoid using their cars on a daily basis. Although we cannot realistically bring our polluting emissions down to zero, it is now possible to right the wrongs that we are unwillingly inflicting on our planet.

There are a number of organizations that can help you measure your personal GHG emissions, calculate their environmental cost and assist you in “repaying” this cost through a financial contribution to an ecological project that will compensate for the exact quantity of GHGs you’ve emitted. In other words, you can purchase emission offset credits that give you the “right” to create a given amount of GHGs; in return, the organization will invest your donation in ecological projects (such as wind farms, biomass heating systems, and so on) that will prevent that same amount of carbon from being emitted elsewhere in the world. In essence, this transaction allows you to neutralize your GHG emissions.

Everyone wins: the earth will be better off and you’ll feel less guilty. What’s more, you’ll learn how to measure the real impact of your actions and change your behaviour as a result.

However, there is a certain amount of controversy surrounding organizations offering GHG credits; carbon offsetting is relatively new and legislation concerning the practice remains unclear. Critics maintain that the projects being funded will go ahead regardless and that the additional financing these projects receive will not lead to any meaningful difference in global GHG levels. Supporters counter that such organizations are at least demonstrating the political will to address these issues and are raising awareness among individuals and businesses regarding the environmental impact of their behaviour.

Carbon offsetting organizations have also been accused of being insufficiently transparent regarding the manner in which donations are used: what percentage of your money is actually invested in a real project, and how much goes toward promoting the organization itself, paying employees’ salaries, and so on? How will you know whether the projects chosen are genuinely reducing carbon emissions? How do GHG calculators actually work?

Since ethiquette always highlights the leaders in any given industry, the offsetting organizations that we recommend meet the highest standards and engage in the least controversial practices. Some of these organizations operate in the developing world and fund projects that have received Gold Standard certification, an internationally recognized distinction that requires projects to reduce GHG emissions in a proven and effective manner. Others fund local projects and have been certified by Environment Canada’s Ecologo program, a reliable initiative that sets environmental standards for carbon off-setters and other organizations within Canada.

Shades of GreenPosted by Debbie Carman in Closing the Loop, Reaching the Top

There are any number of actions a company can take to make them greener than they were but at what point should a company be considered green (or green enough)? This can be hard to decide, especially for small companies that don’t necessarily have enough resources to invest in long term solutions. People have wide ranging views on this point, some saying that any little bit ought to be encouraged, while the other side saying that unless they go all the way it isn’t good enough.

I realize that in writing this I’m opening up a debate because every person has their own opinion, but here goes anyway. I’m personally not a fan of just applying a label to companies or products, especially because the situation is never black and white; it’s more of a continuum of shades of grey (or green in this case). Rather than sustainable or not I tend to say companies are better or worse. One way of measuring this is by looking at how much of their overall environmental impact they are reducing or offsetting as well as their contribution to society and the economy. By looking at it this way, it places higher expectations on a large company or one with a heavy footprint. Of course there is the obvious problem of measurement, both in impact and the impact of actions. While a precise measurement is next to impossible I think that there should be enough readily available information to make an educated estimate. If there is no information available, then I would tend to assume the worst, after all, it’s up to companies to show people what they’re doing and its impact. The above graphic shows the hierarchy of sustainability. While I would be greatly surprised if only 99% of companies were found in the bottom two layers, it just emphasizes that what we need are exceptional companies finding innovative solutions to the problems we’re facing. Aside from impact, here are some other aspects that should be considered when looking at a company to see how sustainable it is: • Is their core business intrinsically harmful or beneficial? • Is sustainability integrated into the core function of the company? • Are their mission, vision, values and goals centered on sustainability? (And do they actually reflect the corporate culture or are they just nice words on paper) • Are they continuously looking to improve what they are doing? I think that the more effort a company makes to be sustainable the more they should be encouraged, but unless they are outright lying, no matter how much or how little a company does it does more harm than good to belittle it. Instead try to make the best choices you can based on the information that’s available to you and the market pressures will help weed out the underachievers.
