Sustainable Environmental Management
Ricoh’s Long Term Environmental Vision
Ricoh’s environmental management policy is one of our highest corporate priorities and places us amongst the leaders in environmental management and corporate social responsibility.
Our vision as a global organization is to reduce our environmental footprint collectively to one-eighth of our year 2000 level by 2050. This is the level that we have determined makes our organization truly sustainable and strikes the correct balance in managing our responsibility to the environment, society and economic performance.
To achieve this target, we are harnessing our expertise, capability and capacity for technical innovation and combining it with our human and financial resources to execute meaningful initiatives in support of this vision both globally as well as locally.

Ricoh Sustainable Environmental Management Model
The Ricoh Group's sustainable environmental management aims at simultaneously achieving environmental conservation and profits. This policy is carried out through development of environment-oriented technologies and in all activities conducted by all employees. Initiatives have been taken in the three core areas of energy conservation and prevention of global warming, resource conservation and recycling, and pollution prevention for both products and business activities. To efficiently advance these activities, a basis for sustainable environmental management was established.

Pursuing the Ideal Society (Three Ps Balance™)
The purpose of environmental conservation activities is to reduce environmental impact to a level that the Earth’s self-recovery capabilities can deal with and sustain the global environment. The Ricoh Group, by considering how the relationship among the three Ps (planet, people, and profit) in environmental, social, and economic activities has changed over time, defines the kind of society we should pursue and carries out its responsibility as a company to create such a society.
