Sustainable Environmental Management

The Ricoh Group's sustainable environmental management activities focus on three core areas, which are underpinned solidly, enabling their effective and efficient implementation.

We defined at the onset the kind of society we should aim for, while fulfilling our duty to continuously reduce society's environmental impact until we reach a level that the Earth's self-recovery capabilities can deal with.

Based on the "Comet Circle" concept, we aim to contribute to the building of a sustainable society that recycles resources.

Aiming for the "Ideal Society", which requires the Year 2050 Long-Term Environmental Vision we have defined, the Ricoh Group has been promoting sustainable environmental management.
