Ricoh ranked in the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations

Ricoh has been recognised as one of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations, securing the 51st position. This marks Ricoh's 13th inclusion on the list, having been selected for ten consecutive years from 2005 to 2014 and again for the past three years since 2023.

“This recognition is a testament to Ricoh’s continuous and accelerated commitment to sustainability that stems from our strategic policy to align ESG with business growth. We are honoured to be recognised again, and we believe our sales expansion of sustainable products and services and long-standing commitment to advocacy activities in the field of climate change led to this selection. Ricoh is excited to continue our contribution in solving social issues and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through its business activities,” says Mikako Suzuki, Corporate Officer in charge of ESG and Risk Management at Ricoh.

Canada-based Corporate Knights publish the Global 100 annual ranking of the world’s most sustainable corporations. The assessment is executed across 25 key indicators that cover resource management, employee management, financial management, sustainable revenue and sustainable investment, and supplier performance. The assessment results are announced yearly during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.  8,359  publicly traded companies with more than US$1 billion in revenues were evaluated for the 21st annual ranking, the 2025 Global 100. 

Ricoh’s approach to sustainability is to pursue a sustainable society through a Three Ps Balance—Prosperity (economic), People (society), and Planet (environment). To realise this desired society, Ricoh has identified seven material issues in two areas, “Resolving social issues through business” and “Robust management infrastructure,” and set 16 ESG targets in linkage with the material to work toward solving these issues. In 2020, ESG initiatives were positioned as future financial targets, one of the dual companywide management targets and regular financial goals. Since then, ESG indicators have been incorporated into Ricoh’s executive compensation.
