545,169,000 yen. This amount includes monetary donations plus labor (man-hours) and donated goods

Social Contribution Club “FreeWill”
FreeWill is an employee-led endeavor launched in
January 1999 that aims to turn individual donations
from employees into a sizable fund for social
contribution activities. Employees of Ricoh Co. Ltd.
and six Group companies currently participate.
FreeWill members donate a portion of their salary
and bonus pay to support NPOs that conduct social
benefit activities in wide-ranging areas. The fund also
supports member-led social contribution activities.
฀ In฀the฀period฀ending฀March฀2013,฀FreeWill฀
contributed฀to฀a฀total฀of฀43฀organizations.฀In฀
Sukagawa in Fukushima Prefecture, for example,
FreeWill committee members delivered messages and
chocolates to the residents of temporary housing for
those who lost their homes in the 2011 earthquake
and tsunami, and joined them in making wreaths.
Employee participation in activities accounts for the largest portion of the Ricoh Group’s social contribution.
In every region, Group companies support their employees in the planning and implementation of community
activities and biodiversity conservation programs.
Ricoh Global Eco Action
In 2006, the Ricoh Group designated one day in June
as “Ricoh Global Eco Action” day, during
which Group employees around the world
think about and take action on behalf of the global
environment. On this day every year, we hold a
variety of environmental events, including biodiversity
conservation activities and energy-saving campaigns.
This year, in London, employees of Ricoh Europe
helped restore and improve parks in their community,
tending to gardens and installing bird boxes.
In 2012, a database was created to record social
activities, including Global Eco Action. Through
the database, Group members can find out about
activities occurring in other parts of the world and
share their knowledge. ➤ WEB
