The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is a truly unique tournament; it’s the only time in the year when tennis fans can watch the top eight players compete against one another, at what is the world’s largest indoor tennis event. That’s why Ricoh are proud to have sponsored the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals since it came to London in 2009.
At Ricoh we believe that teamwork is the key to success in both business and sport, and that’s why we partner 14 ATP World Tour Tournaments in 11 countries across Europe, providing every tournament with state-of-the-art document management solutions.
In addition to providing document services to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, Ricoh is involved in a wide range of additional areas at the 2011 season finale.

Ricoh’s contribution – 100% Carbon Balanced
In 2011 and beyond, all document management solutions provided to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals by Ricoh will be 100% carbon balanced, as a direct result of the implementation of Ricoh’s EFQM award winning Sustainability Optimisation Programme.
At the 2011 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, all Ricoh document services will be configured to the most sustainable default settings and the onsite staff and media will be pro-actively encouraged to partner with Ricoh to make this the most sustainable World Tour Finals to date. At the end of the tournament, all remaining, unavoidable emissions will be carbon balanced through carbon credits generated by clean energy projects in which Ricoh has invested.
In 2011 and beyond, Ricoh’s involvement at 13 ATP World Tour sponsored tournaments in 10 countries will be 100% carbon balanced. Through close monitoring of the devices and user behaviour at the tournaments in 2011, Ricoh will be able to look at further ways in which they can reduce the emissions at all future Ricoh sponsored tournaments.
