Kirk Yoshida, Deputy President of Ricoh Company, Ltd, says, “Our partnership with the Ricoh Women’s British Open has been a success because of the principles it represents. We hold the same values of professionalism, excellence, expertise and consideration for the environment. We both come from a rich heritage which has seen many changes and growth during our long histories. We look forward to being a part of the tournament again in 2008 and continuing to develop our relationship.”
In addition to the title sponsorship, Ricoh is also the official supplier of printing solutions behind the scenes. Its range of digital multi-functional products are being used for a wide range of tasks in the build-up and planning of the event. During the tournament, the press centre is also fully equipped with Ricoh products, to support journalists with their printing, scanning, faxing and copying needs.
Protecting the earth’s natural resources and raising environmental awarenessare major considerations at Ricoh, and this year too the company will continue to support and promote the Seeds for Africa Charity through the Ricoh Women’s British Open. For every birdie scored, Ricoh will plant one tree, five trees for an eagle and 1,000 trees for an albatross. In 2007 the funds raised from an auction and sales of promotional items, plus the total number of points equated to 2,236 trees being planted in Africa.
