Ricoh has announced it has been recognized as one of Corporate Knights' Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations, securing the 51st position. This marks the 13th selection for Ricoh, which was selected for 10 consecutive years from 2005 to 2014, and three successive years since 2023. Ricoh was ranked at the top of the computers and peripherals manufacturing peer group.

The Global 100 is an annual ranking of the world's most sustainable corporations published by Canada-based Corporate Knights. 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. Some 8,359 publicly traded companies with revenues of more than $1 billion were evaluated for the 21st annual ranking, the 2025 Global 100.

"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," said Mikako Suzuki, corporate officer in charge of ESG and risk management, Ricoh Co. Ltd. "We are honored to be recognized again, and we believe our sales expansion of sustainable products and services and longstanding 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."

Ricoh's approach to sustainability is to pursue a sustainable society through a Three Ps Balance — Prosperity (economic), People (society) and Planet (environment). To realize 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.
