In the international community, the movement towards achieving a sustainable society is accelerating. For example, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs*1) have been agreed upon in 2015, and the Paris Agreement,*2 an initiative aiming at the realization of a zero-carbon society, has come into force. In response, the Ricoh Group conducts its environmental management by setting environmental goal of achieving a “zero-carbon society” and “circular economy.”
The Ricoh Group uses the back-casting method to set goals. In this approach, we first set final goals and then determine target values as milestones on the journey to these goals. As the milestones toward the final goal of the Three Ps Balance, we have set environmental goals for 2030,2040 and 2050 in the area of zero-carbon and for 2030 and 2050 in the area of resource conservation.
We use these goals in the Action Plan, which we issue every three years based on our mid-term management strategies in order to develop highly effective actions to achieve our environmental goals for 2030.
We recognize that it is important to maintain and restore the Earth’s self-recovery capabilities while reducing the damage to the environment. We conduct forest ecology conservation activities around the world for this purpose, and we are encouraging our customers and local communities to join the activities.
