Ricoh Classic: First Green Golf
Tournament in Puerto Rico
Ricoh Puerto Rico held its sixth
annual Ricoh Classic presented by Subway?/b> Golf
Tournament on June 27th at Costa Caribe Golf & Resort.
The Ricoh Classic presented by Subway?/b> is the First Green
Golf Tournament to be celebrated in Puerto Rico.
Recently, the company received the
Environmental Management Certification ISO 14001 and decided to move
their corporate recycling program to the golf course. The program
consisted in the recycling of materials such as: aluminum,
cardboard, glass and plastic. Three recycling stations where placed
in the course, in which players could deposit the aluminum cans and
water bottles or just give to the Ricoh Classic volunteers at the
station for future recycle.
The tournament is a fund raising
event celebrated every year. This year’s funds where donated to
United Way of Puerto Rico, which supports other nonprofit
organizations and El Angel Foundation of Miguel Cotto, which help
children overcome obesity through exercise and education. The event
raised a total of $50,000. Thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers
the tournament was a total success.
The Ricoh Classic forms part of the
social responsibility commitment and corporate values of the
company. For additional information please contact Ms. Alice M.
Sánchez at 787-641-4690.
