Ricoh Group Biodiversity PolicyRicoh Group Biodiversity PolicyRicoh Group Biodiversity PolicyRicoh Group Biodiversity Policy
Society has developed thanks to the earth's abundant natural resources.
However, we recognize that the very diversity of life that has supported our
environment is in decline; so, in response, we have formulated this
biodiversity policy.
Basic Policy
Given that we gain a lot of benefit from living things and pursue business
activities that have an impact on biodiversity, we will reduce the impact of
our activities on biodiversity and engage proactively in its protection.

EU / UK Water Legal Context - March 2014
Current worldwide focus on reduction of water use, water flood
management and improvement in water quality.
In EU latest legislation is focusing on drainage systems, especially with
regard to drainage discharge quality into rivers & lakes.
The EU “Water Framework Directive” (WFD) has been issued to manage
water quality. Existing Legislation ‘Water resources act & regulations
2009’ requires all companies to ensure risk of pollution is minimised and
water use is monitored and reduced.
WFD target is to improve water quality in rivers / lakes so that all can
achieve “Good Ecological Status” by 2027.
In UK the target areas for improvement are:
– Run-off from road and the urban environment
– Domestic foul / surface water misconnections
– Contaminated in-situ river bed sediment
– Run-off from trading and industrial estates (i.e. RPL)
– Discharges from Combined Sewer Overflows
– Septic tanks and sewage treatment plants
– Mine waters from redundant working
Telford area (RPL) has been identified as a “failing catchment” and will be
subject to increased EA monitoring and action.
