We may bleed Cat yellow, but Ring Power is committed to being “green.” From Cat Reman that restores equipment and components to good-as-new condition, to industry leading emissions technology that reduces our carbon footprint, we’re leading the way to a green future. 

Therefore, we’re excited to announce our 2018 Corporate Initiative to reduce printing company-wide. Reducing what we print will keep us from wasting thousands of pieces of paper and hundreds of ink and toner cartridges every year. Not only will this benefit the environment, it will also result in significant cost savings for the company. 

But reducing what we print is only the first step. As we continue to make the transition to an entirely paperless operation (except, of course, when printing is a necessity), our savings will only increase. 

We have engaged On-Base, our current partner for document scanning and retention, to conduct an evaluation of our current processes and assist in document digitization, automation and workflow in our efforts to becoming a paperless company.

Here’s how you can help:

THINK BEFORE YOU PRINT

• Count the number of pages you print each day for a week and reduce that number by half the following week. Challenge yourself to do this every week until you reach zero. 



• Print documents directly to PDF and archive the PDF instead of printing them out and scanning them back into the system. 



• Store files on our network or in the On-Base cloud versus printing and filing hard copies in a cabinet.



• Set printer and copier defaults to print in black and white and on front and back.



• Flag and save your important emails instead of printing them out as reminders. 



• Use a computer, projector or monitor to share documents in meetings.



• Set your WORD default settings to smaller margins and font to fit more text per page.



• Print only the pages you need.

Throughout the year look for updates on this initiative in Ring Tales and the Insider. With your help, we can lead the way to a green, paperless future.
