In a first for the business, Shropshire-based Ricoh UK Products Ltd (RPL) will feature in a Sky (Digital) programme in July and August, as part of a series exploring the sustainability work undertaken at top UK manufacturing companies.
The series entitled 'Responsible Business – A Green (Sustainable) Approach' will centre around the work in overlapping sectors including energy, innovation, transport, infrastructure, engineering, and manufacturing.
With sites in Telford and Stirling, RPL will be featuring in the first of six episodes: Exploring an Eco Approach in Business, providing thoughts and insights on net-zero targets, sustainable development goals (SDGs), challenges within the sector and external influences, circular economy, innovation, skills gaps, apprenticeship opportunities and more.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything that we do at Ricoh, and these initiatives and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments will be explored during short interview snippets within the show.
In the words of Ricoh Chairperson, Jake Yamashita: “Any company that doesn’t contribute to the achievement of the SDGs will be ignored by the market and will go out of business.
“Companies in the future will be evaluated not just by their financial performance, but also their contribution to addressing these social challenges.”
You will be able to hear from employees at Ricoh UK Products Ltd, who will share the fantastic work we do here, in our local community, on a global scale, and our commitment to building a sustainable future – and hopes for stakeholders and the wider industry.
The programme will air on ExecutiveTV (Sky Digital channel 181) on Sunday, July 9 at 10.30am and the following month on Sunday, August 13 at 10.30am.
The programme will be made available on www.executivetv.org after the first broadcast – and RPL will share the programme via Internal Comms.
An extended blog post going further in depth to analyse the sustainability work at RPL will also be published on the ExecutiveTV website shortly after the initial airing of the programme.
