Participation in Shell’s Accelerate to Zero programme
To take a further step to offset our CO2 footprint, Ricoh Hong Kong has participated in the Accelerate to Zero programme from Shell. Through this programme, Shell helps to offset the unavoidable carbon emissions from our fleet through the purchase of carbon credits from a portfolio of carefully chosen nature-based projects – such as forest developments or grassland preservation projects – that capture and store carbon from the atmosphere. Ricoh had received the certificate for our contribution to compensate 22 tonnes of CO2e1 emissions between August to December of 2021.
