Sustainability, the RICOH DNA

The RICOH DNA

Since the Group was founded, roughly 90 years ago, and in line with the expectations and ideas of its founder and visionary leader, Kiyoshi Ichimura, RICOH fells it is its duty to reduce its impact on the environment. This sustainable strategy is now part of the RICOH heritage and covers all activities of the company, from manufacturing through distribution as well as from management of the sites through recycling.

RICOH progressively extended its environmental strategy to make all stakeholders participate in its industry, promoting tangible ecological benefits to its suppliers and customers.

RICOH has set new ambitious environmental targets based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGSs) led by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030. As the pillar to fairly take into account the environmental economic and social challenges worldwide, these SDGs integrate for the first time, in a common system, all the economic and social challenges we have to take for our planet.
