Indicators
＊ Programs marked with an
asterisk are funded by Ricoh’s
social contribution reserve sytem,
established to ensure stable,
long-term social engagement.
Following approval at the
1998 shareholder’s meeting,
Ricoh introduced the social
contribution reserve system,
under which a portion of profits
is disbursed to the reserve’s fund
after approval by the board of
directors. Currently, the fund is
being applied to three programs:
Ichimura Nature School Kanto,
Ricoh Science Caravan, and the
Forest Ecosystem Conservation
Program.
PDCA cycle for social contribution activities
To ensure the effectiveness of the Group’s social
contributions, we have created an original PDCA
cycle for their evaluation and improvement.
Evaluation items include the scale and outcome of
activities as well as “cooperation with stakeholders”
and “effects on business activities.” This creates an
upward spiral in our ability to share knowledge and
evolve social contribution activities throughout the
Group.
Collaboration with partners
We share our mission and values with selected
partners, make use of each other’s resources, and
build long-lasting relationships based on trust and
respect.
Collaborations are based on guidelines that
follow our principles of social contribution. We then
set clear objectives and choose partners with proven
organizational health and expertise.
Projects are launched with decisions on
respective roles, and mutual agreement on goals
and duration. We then create a system to regularly
monitor progress together.
Once the project is completed, we evaluate the
achievement and publish a report.
Major corporate programs
We are engaged in a variety of social contri-
bution programs that fall under the category
of “contributions to resolution of social issues
through business activities” or “commitment to and
responsibility for social contribution”.
