Environmental, Social & Governance

Our commitment to building a sustainable future

At Ricoh, ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) has defined how we do business since the company was founded in 1936. It is central to our operations and touches every part of our organisation.

We undertake a range of initiatives in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce our carbon footprint, conduct our business with integrity and help our communities prosper.

In this respect, we support every stakeholder across our organisation from employees and customers to business partners and investors.

Sustainability is part of Ricoh’s DNA

Our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

To guide our progress, we have set clear and ambitious ESG targets aligned with the UN SDGs. Launched by the United Nations in 2015, the SDGs comprise 17 global goals which represent an urgent call to action for countries and organisations to unite in tackling social and environmental challenges.

We have identified seven priority issues where we believe Ricoh can make a positive difference

We will strive to decarbonise the entire value chain and create business opportunities by contributing to carbon neutrality.

We will contribute to the maintenance, development, and efficiency of community and social systems. We will leverage our technical expertise and customer connections to expand the areas where we provide value.

We foster a corporate culture where diverse employees can demonstrate their potential and transform themselves and the company into one that is resilient to change.

We will shift from a self-sufficient approach to a new value creation process that creates businesses to quickly resolve social issues.

We will provide digital services that transform the way customers work and help them improve productivity and value-creation.

We will create business opportunities by building a circular economy business model for ourselves and our customers.

We will earn stakeholder trust by taking a holistic view of our supply chain and minimizing ESG risks in our business processes.
