Areas
Harmony with Society
● Every company in the Ricoh Group will, as a good corporate
citizen, actively engage in activities that contribute to society.
● Every company in the Ricoh Group will respect the culture
and customs of its country or region, and will operate so as
to contribute to their development.
Practical contributions to society
● Engage in activities that contribute to the local community.
● Foster a corporate ethos that places importance on
contributions to society.
The Ricoh Group accepts its responsibility as a global
citizen and proactively takes action to preserve
the global environment based on the Ricoh Group
Environmental Principles. Recognizing that all our
stakeholders depend on the ecosystem and that
biodiversity plays an indispensable role in ensuring its
health, the Ricoh Group has developed and launched
the Ricoh Group Biodiversity Policy in order to maintain
and improve the self-recovery capabilities of the Earth.
In addition to reducing environmental impact, we have
been striving to conserve biodiversity to support a
sustainable global environment.
Furthermore, regarding environmental
conservation, it is important that each employee has
a sense of being a global citizen and acts voluntarily
inside and outside the company. The Ricoh Group is
committed to environmental conservation with many
employees specifically focusing on the conservation of
biodiversity.
A corporation is an integral member of the community
and we conduct our business with the support of local
communities. The Ricoh Group aims to coexist and
develop in harmony within the countries in which it
operates, contributing to the mutual development of both
society and the local community based on their needs.
At the same time, as a global company, it is
necessary to contribute to developing countries,
which face many challenges. In addition to promoting
social activities by utilizing the company’s resources,
including technology and human resources, the Ricoh
Group conducts activities for economic development
in cooperation with local people. Through these
activities, we support the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals while cooperating with all of our
stakeholders, and contribute to our business growth.
The future is in the hands of our children and young
adults, and we aim to help realize a “sustainable
society.” Society at large needs to work collectively
to resolve various problems around the world that
the next generation will face, and this means that
companies must play a role as well.
The Ricoh Group actively supports activities to
raise the next generation continuously by utilizing its
resources, including products, technologies and human
resources, in order to cooperate with parents, schools,
communities and NPO’s to provide environments
for learning and growing independently. Employees
who participate in these activities feel responsibility
towards the society.
Companies can create an environment whereby
children who join a company-sponsored scheme can
dream, change and develop into successful contributors
to society. Ricoh positions this as a “Social Innovation”
cycle of sustainable development for both companies
and society.
The Ricoh Group, mindful of its
responsibility as a corporate citizen,
respects the cultures and customs of
all countries and regions, joining in
active partnership with like-minded
people and inspiring employees to
contribute to the development of a
sustainable society and planet.
Reflecting a deep
understanding of social issues in
various parts of the world, Ricoh
Group companies carry out social
activities focusing on several
priority areas.
The Ricoh Group has set fundamental principles on social contribution by which all Group companies around the world abide. We believe that by
conducting social contribution activities based on a common concept, we can maximize the effects of our contributions toward solving challenges.
Under these principles, individual Group companies are implementing measures by leveraging the Group’s strengths in human and other resources.
