Ricoh Group Sustainability Report 20141919
Build robust management structure
On the management system front, we will reorga-
nize operations in four domains—the ofce
business, commercial printing business, industrial
business and consumer business—and continue to
take innovative approaches that include restructur-
ing the Tokyo headquarters and the technology
management system.
As for the structural improvement front, we will
promote initiatives for continuous and self- sustained
development of all corporate structures, and make
highly efciency management an inherent compo-
nent of the Ricoh Group.
Higher shareholder value
In the pursuit of higher shareholder value, our goal
is to achieve return-on-equity of 10% by enhancing
business prots and boosting asset efciency. We
will maintain an appropriate level of equity and con-
sider such factors as return to shareholders in our
calculations.

Thoughts on return to shareholders
We seek to enrich retained earnings to maintain a
rm nancial footing and to support new business
development. At the same time, we recognize the
importance of a good return of prots to share-
holders and endeavor to provide a stable dividend
based on a total consolidated payout ratio in the
vicinity of 30%.
