TOKYO, March 28, 2022 – Ricoh received one of the highest evaluations from external asset managers entrusted with the domestic equity investment of Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF.) Among all nominated companies with “excellent TCFD* disclosure,” Ricoh received votes from five asset managers.
As a new initiative based on the latest revision of the Corporate Governance Code in Japan, the GPIF requested its external asset managers to nominate “excellent TCFD disclosures.” As a result of the survey, GPIF selected 27 companies for having excellent TCFD disclosures, but among all the nominated companies, only Ricoh and three other companies were chosen by four or more external asset managers for excellent TCFD disclosure. Additionally, 54 companies were selected for excellent disclosure in at least one of the four disclosure categories—(1) governance, (2) strategy, (3) risk management, and (4) metrics and targets—with Ricoh being selected in all four categories.
Comments from the external asset managers who highly evaluated Ricoh's disclosure include;
