This fiscal year, Ricoh China has been holding TGOS seminars in a total of 31 locations over 4 central-government-ruled municipalities, 5 autonomous regions, and 22 provinces. The last seminar will be held in Tibet at the end August 2011.
Every seminar, as an effort for the nationwide promotion of green office & environmental preservation, has been reported in a local TV news program. This is a good indication that TGOS has been attracting a high level of public attention across China.
