Maintaining Ricoh’s corporate value on behalf of
all stakeholders
The Ricoh Group established The RICOH Way as a set of guiding principles and values that
serves as the foundation for all our business activities. Abiding by these principles in corporate
ethics and compliance and maintaining transparency in management, we continuously strive
to improve our governance, and in doing so ultimately enhance our corporate value.
We strongly believe that responsible global citizenship
calls for a corporate culture that embraces a sense
of mission to meet the expectations of diverse
stakeholders — a culture that is committed to
operating under the highest ethical standards in line
with the expectations of society as a whole.
฀ Based฀on฀this฀belief,฀we฀advance฀the฀operations฀of฀
the entire Group under The RICOH Way, strengthening
our governance and ceaselessly promoting a culture of
integrity while working toward sustainable corporate
growth.
The Ricoh Group has also introduced a corporate
audit system, in which audit and supervisory board
members strengthen the effectiveness of audits and
the฀monitoring฀of฀top฀management,฀while฀the฀Board฀of฀
Directors, including outside directors, maintains strict
oversight over the decision-making process to make
sure it is always transparent and fair. Futhermore, by
expanding the executive officer system, the segregating
of duties between oversight and business execution is
clarified, resulting in speedier decision-making.
The Group has also implemented an integrated risk
management system for both business opportunities
and business execution, and follows internal control
procedures to achieve the success of our corporate
strategies and business targets.
