Policy on information disclosure
Communication is essential to mutual understanding
between corporations and society. That is why
the Ricoh Group’s policy is to provide relevant
information in a timely way.
Previously, we issued three annual publications
— the Annual Report, Sustainability Report for
Corporate Social Responsibility, and Sustainability
Report for Environmental Initiatives. In 2012, we
merged these into a single report that presents a
comprehensive picture of our policies and activities.
The Ricoh Group Sustainability Report includes de-
tails about our fundamental concepts, policies and
strategies to help all our stakeholders deepen their
understanding of and support for our efforts.

Forward-looking statements
The plans, prospects, strategies and other statements, except for the
historical events, mentioned in this material are forward-looking
statements with respect to future events and business results. Those
statements were made based on the judgement of Ricoh directors from
the information that is now obtainable. Actual results may differ materially
from those projected or implied. No assumptions concerning future
events and business results should be made based on these forward-
looking statements. The following important factors, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:
a. General economic conditions and business trends
b. Exchange rates and their fluctuations
c. Rapid technological innovation
d. Uncertainty as to Ricoh’s ability to continue to design, develop, produce
and market products and services that achieve market acceptance
