Ricoh Canada has signed on with Bullfrog Power, a leading provider of 100 per cent green electricity, to purchase green power for its Mississauga distribution centre. By sourcing clean, renewable wind and low-impact hydro power from Bullfrog, Ricoh will reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions footprint by 323 tonnes annually. Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas attributed to climate change. Ricoh’s partnership with Bullfrog Power also enables the generation of new renewable power sources in Ontario.

ultimately results in a diminished need for fossil fuel- or nuclear-generated
power, and consequent reduction in damage to the atmosphere.
Effort Well Spent
Ricoh strives to conserve energy in the manufacturing, distribution and use of its products. The benefits are both economic and environmental.
