Ricoh Group Sustainability Report 201287
History of RICOH
Ricoh was the first to install a completely
solar-powered billboard in New York’s famed
Times Square. Solar power charges storage
batteries that illuminate LED floodlights. Daily
power generation is around 16 kilowatt-hours,
preventing annual carbon dioxide emissions of
about two tons. When we decided to install the
billboard, we were prepared to accept that the
sign might go dark if unable to secure sufficient
power because of the weather, as such situations
would actually underscore our corporate
commitment to natural energy. In 2011, we
installed an eco-billboard in London that employs
both solar and wind power and set up another
eco-billboard in Sydney.
