Global Policy for Social Contribution Activities

Our mission & vision endorse the Ricoh founding principles embodied in The Spirit of Three Loves —Love your neighbor, Love your country, Love your work—through which we empower individuals to find fulfillment through work by understanding and transforming how they work, so they can unleash their potential and creativity to realize a sustainable future. Under this mission, we set the six materiality issues, Creativity from Work, Safe and secure digital society, Fair corporate activities, Inclusive workforce, Coexistence with communities, Zero-carbon society and circular economy.

Our social contribution activities are also aligned with our management policy and SDGs and we set Priority Areas based on our Materiality and global demand. Our Priority Areas are 1) Inclusion in the Workplace, 2) Community and Social Development, and 3) Response to Climate Crisis and Biodiversity. To maximize the effects of our contributions toward solving challenges, we have also set fundamental principles on social contribution. Under these principles, Group companies are implementing measures by leveraging the Group’s strengths, including human and other resources.

Materiality for the Ricoh Group

The Ricoh Group, mindful of its responsibility as a corporate citizen, respects the cultures and customs of all countries and regions, joining in active partnership with like-minded people and inspiring employees to contribute to the development of a sustainable society and planet.

Reflecting a deep understanding of social issues in various parts of the world, our group companies carry out social activities focusing on several priority areas.

To best solve social issues, we maximize the efficiency of each activity around the world through the PDCA cycle and common group indicators. By knowledge sharing and horizontal development, we strive for consistency among group companies.
