Community initiatives

We see community investment as more than simply donating money, and we actively encourage both the companies within the Group and individual employees to support local communities with time, skills and expertise.
Here are some examples of recent initiatives:
Tree planting at the Forest of Martson Vale 
Ricoh UK has been working with the Forest at Marston Vale in Bedfordshire for the last four years. The charity's aim is to create one of 12 Community Forests across England and to regenerate land across towns and cities. The project gives our employees an opportunity to make an active contribution to the environment.
Children in Need charity 
Ricoh UK is a long standing contributor to the BBC Children in Need charity. Fund raising activities, like the Hadrian’s Wall cycle challenge, are coordinated throughout the year. And on the annual Appeal night, our volunteers in Northampton operate a virtual call-centre to receive and process telephone donations.
Employee-led activities
Our employees are actively encouraged to pursue their own initiatives as individuals and teams. In the past, these have included:
  • Charity fun runs
  • Volunteering programmes
  • Cake sales
  • Employability workshop facilitation
