Environment and sustainability
Driving Sustainability for Our Future
Ricoh sees a sustainable society as one that balances Planet (environment), People (society) and Profit (economic activities).
In 1976, Ricoh established the Environmental Promotion Section. As the environment around us transforms, it is vital for our corporate activities to address emerging social issues. Ricoh has delivered value to customers through innovation and we now utilise that same innovation to achieve our goal of restoring our environment.
Whether through improving our business efficiency, providing recycling services for our products or supporting organisations in championing green policies, we strive to lead businesses in the field of sustainability.

Ricoh is taking action against climate change through all corporate activities to materialize the vision of “Fulfilment through Work” with the Spirit of Three Loves (Love your Neighbour, Love your Country, Love your Work), our founding principles.
SDGs is a growing focus and companies that do not respond to them will be eliminated from the market. At the same time, Ricoh views ESG initiatives as mandatory requirement to realize a sustainable society that will enables us to grow, be a leader in society, offer a best-in-class workplace, and capture future opportunities for our businesses.
ESG is ever changing and I expect all ESG advocates in our region to learn and grow with the current trend. Let our employees embrace lifelong learning and growth with our ESG leadership.
I also sincerely request all our Ricoh employees to oblige to the duties of contributing to the community, solving customer problems, and making the world a better place.
