Ricoh at a glance

Simultaneously building a better and more sustainable society and achieving business growth

Given the dramatically changing business environment, we firmly believe that corporations will not be able to achieve sustained growth and development without making serious efforts to solve various social issues. Ricoh aims to be part of the solutions to social issues and to help create a sustainable society. To this end, we strive to fulfill our mission of generating innovation and creating new value.

As we recognize that engagement across the entire value chain is the key to conducting effective initiatives, we work together with our suppliers, business partners, and other stakeholders to build a better and more sustainable society, while simultaneously achieving business growth.

We are more than convinced that a full understanding of the aforementioned principles and ideas by the more than 100,000 Ricoh Group employees worldwide coupled with their imagination will enable us to create innovative technologies and business models which will simultaneously contribute to economic, social, and environmental advancement.
