In an era defined by digital transformation and environmental urgency, Ricoh stands at the intersection of technology and responsibility. With a legacy rooted in imaging and document management, Ricoh has evolved into a global leader in digital services—driven by one clear mission: to create new value for society through sustainable innovation.

Redefining Innovation for the Planet

For Ricoh, innovation isn’t just about efficiency or productivity; it’s about purpose. The company integrates sustainability into every layer of its operations—from energy-efficient printers and circular economy initiatives to low-carbon manufacturing and renewable energy adoption.
By aligning its corporate strategy with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Ricoh ensures that each innovation contributes to a more sustainable future.

Ricoh’s “Zero Carbon Commitment” exemplifies this approach. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, setting measurable milestones and engaging suppliers, partners, and customers along the journey.

Empowering Digital Transformation

As the modern workplace shifts toward hybrid and remote models, Ricoh continues to empower organizations through smart collaboration and cloud-based solutions. Its suite of Digital Services for the Workplace helps businesses automate workflows, enhance data security, and streamline communication—reducing not only operational costs but also environmental impact.

From intelligent document management systems to AI-driven analytics, Ricoh’s innovations help companies become more agile, sustainable, and human-centered.

Circular Thinking in Action

Ricoh’s sustainability strategy extends far beyond recycling. Through product longevity programs, remanufacturing initiatives, and eco-friendly material design, the company embraces the principles of a circular economy.
Its “GreenLine Series” of remanufactured devices, for example, provides high-performance solutions with a significantly lower carbon footprint—demonstrating that quality and sustainability can go hand in hand.

People, Planet, and Purpose

At the heart of Ricoh’s progress lies its people. The company fosters a culture of diversity, inclusion, and continuous learning, encouraging employees to think creatively and act responsibly. By investing in community engagement, STEM education, and environmental programs, Ricoh ensures that its impact extends well beyond business metrics.

Looking Ahead

As technology continues to reshape how we work and live, Ricoh’s focus remains clear: harnessing innovation to improve quality of life while protecting the planet. The company’s journey reflects a simple but powerful truth—that true progress is sustainable progress.

In every innovation, Ricoh sees an opportunity—not only to advance technology but to build a smarter, greener, and more equitable future for all.
