Global environmental issues, particularly climate change, depletion of natural resources and
degradation of ecosystems, are causing various changes to society and to the economy
and also to the business landscape of Ricoh Group customers. These changes can become
management risks but they simultaneously present new opportunities. With this in mind,
the Ricoh Group puts sustainable environmental management into practice, seeking to
protect the environment and conserve precious resources while at the same time generating
prots.Duringthe17thEnvironmentalActionPlan,launchedinthescalyearendedMarch
2012, we directed concerted efforts toward shrinking the environmental footprint of our
customers through the development of energy-saving products and proposals for alternate
workstyles that successfully address the need for enhanced operating efficiency while
saving energy. In addition, we aim to limit environmental impact and minimize business risks,
mainly by cutting costs through energy- and resource-saving measures and by trimming the
amount of chemical substances used and generated in manufacturing and operating Ricoh-
brand products. ➤ WEB1
