Environmental Labels

Environmental labels are marks, declarations, and quantitative information that indicate how products or services contribute to reducing environmental impact. The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) classifies environmental labels into the following three categories.
Ricoh actively acquires and utilizes these environmental labels. By providing easy-to-understand information on the environmental performance of our products, we contribute to the conservation of the global environment.
Please refer to the following page for information on environmental labels obtained for each product.

List of Environmental Label Qualified Products

Eco-labels (Third-party Certification)

Eco-labels are environmental labels certified based on criteria for environmentally conscious products established by third-party organizations. Third-party organizations conduct assessments and certifications based on these criteria.
These labels are awarded to products that demonstrate superior environmental performance after comprehensive evaluations of energy efficiency, resource conservation, safety, and other factors throughout the product life cycle, from design and use to disposal. Certified products may display the label, making it easy to identify products that meet the certification criteria.

Self-declared Environmental Claims

^*Equivalent to ISO 14021 (formerly Type II Environmental Labels)

These environmental claims are established independently by companies and do not require third-party certification.
The Ricoh Group has established its own criteria to deliver products and services that contribute to solving important social issues for our customers.

Environmental Information Disclosure through EPDs

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide quantitative information on the environmental impacts of products and services.
Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), EPDs quantify and disclose environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle, from raw material procurement and manufacturing to use, disposal, and recycling.
Ricoh utilizes Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in accordance with ISO 14025 to disclose environmental information throughout the product life cycle and to provide transparent and third-party verified environmental information.
In addition, Ricoh promotes the disclosure of Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) data, an indicator that focuses on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as one aspect of environmental impact.
