Ricoh has announced it has been selected as a member of the Sustainability Yearbook 2024, with a score within the top 1% in its industry, by S&P Global.

Each year, S&P Global assesses major companies' sustainability in the three areas of economic, environment and society. Companies with outstanding sustainability efforts in each industry group are selected and awarded as members of the Sustainability Yearbook. S&P Global evaluated more than 9,400 companies in 62 industries worldwide this year, and 759 companies were selected for this year’s Yearbook.

In the computers & peripherals and office electronics industry, two companies including Ricoh were in the top 1% and five others in the top 5%. This marks the sixth consecutive year, since 2019, that Ricoh has been selected as a member of the Sustainability Yearbook.

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. Under the policy to align ESG with business growth, Ricoh will continue to enhance sustainability efforts.
