The award categories included: Best Mechanical Repair Service, Best Body and Paint Service, and Eco Fleet. In the Eco Fleet category, one or more clients from companies using medium or large fleets could be nominated. Respondents evaluated, among other things: fleet size, average CO2 emissions per vehicle, organizing eco-driving training courses for drivers, and taking actions to reduce the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
– We are proud of this distinction. For Ricoh, environmental protection activities are very important and stem from the management philosophy of the entire corporation. We are aware of our environmental impact resulting from the use of our vehicle fleet, and therefore we strive to leave the smallest possible footprint. In this case, the most significant action is reducing CO2 emissions resulting from fuel combustion by: selecting cars with appropriate engine characteristics, optimal route planning for our service technicians and sales representatives, and adopting a “green” driving style, i.e., eco-driving, as well as participating in reforestation campaigns to offset excess emissions – said Paweł Barski, PR & Marketing Communication Manager at Ricoh Polska.
