Ricoh Group Sustainability Report 201415
Seeking Higher Corporate Value
Corporate value is a concept that embodies overall
improvement, matched to the expectations of all
stakeholders, by raising value for shareholders,
customers, society and employees. Constantly
providing new value, being part of the solution to
global environmental concerns and problematic
social issues, and fullling a responsibility to build
asustainable society—all of these corporate
activities, if pursued with steadfast conviction, will
lead to higher corporate value, which is integral to
business growth.
The Ricoh Group adheres to The RICOH Way,
which comprises Ricoh’s Founding Principles—The
Spirit of Three Loves—and its Management Philoso-
phy (Mission, Vision, and Values). This is the most
fundamental aspect of our corporate being, infusing
all corporate activity and guiding our decisions and
actions to deal effectively with the complex, high-
level issues that we face as a corporate group.
Raising stake holder and corporate value
Putting The RICOH Way into practice generates new
value, which sets society and business conditions on
a better course, and inevitably allows us to grow our
businesses and enhance corporate value.
We will adhere to The RICOH Way, as it forms
the basis of a corporate culture with high ethical
standards that promotes good sense from a social
perspective, and we will maintain management
transparency. Furthermore, we will build a gover-
nance structure designed to hone a sharper
competitive edge.
In regard to business strategies, we laid out a
long-term vision, shaped by anticipated changes in
the business environment, while identifying priority
social issues (materiality) that the Ricoh Group
mustaddress. To achieve this vision, we formulate
mid-term management plans every three years and
pursue business activities in line with these plans.
