ANNUAL REPORT 2006
To Our Shareholders and Customers
Promoting Corporate Governance
The Ricoh Group promotes corporate governance with an
aim of improving competitiveness while ensuring
management transparency through corporate ethics and
compliance principles.
In May 2006, the Board of Directors resolved the “Basic
Policies Concerning Internal Control System” (refer to page
58). We will work to achieve sustainable growth and higher
corporate value based on the policies.
Achieving High Targets
We anticipate that customers' needs will become increasingly
diversified, and the competition for colorization and other
solutions will become even more fierce. For the Ricoh Group
to continue growth and development amidst such tremendous
changes in the market environment, it is vital that we focus
investments on the three growth areas outlined in the 15th
Mid-term Management Plan (printing, emerging market, and
industrial field) and reinforce corporate competitiveness by
creating new customer values and achieving highly efficient
management. We will further increase sales and income, and
improve corporate value, by generating income from the
investments that we have made for growth, further reinforcing
the business foundation, and aggressively reinvesting the
generated income into growth areas and technological
improvement.
To achieve its vision of being No. 1 in the 21st century, the
Ricoh Group is committed to earning the unshakable trust of
customers by providing them with new values through
business activities that contribute to higher productivity and
knowledge creation anytime, anywhere. We will strive to
achieve sustainable growth and development while
strengthening the relationship of trust with all stakeholders
and winning the trust of society as a whole.
