Philosophy

Our corporate philosophy was created and implemented the day Kiyoshi Ichimura founded Ricoh. This philosophy is known as “The Spirit of Three Loves” and follows the belief that just as every individual loves and cares for themselves, so that love will grow to encompass their environment.

• Love your neighbour
• Love your country
• Love your work

In 1992 we introduced our Ricoh Environmental Principles, a set of guidelines that have been embraced by every company in the Ricoh Group, and we have been revising them ever since.

Today, our environmental focus has achieved:

• A host of industry leading environmental targets
• Innovative environmental technologies
• Environmentally active employees
• An environmentally sound product lifecycle
