Ricoh receives top five-star rating
November 29, 2024
Ricoh announced that it has received the highest five-star rating in the SDGs Management edition of Nikkei Sustainable Comprehensive Survey 2024 by Nikkei Inc.
This marks the sixth consecutive year that Ricoh has achieved the five-star rating with a standard score of over seventy. Based on the survey result, Ricoh was recognised as one of the “Prime Seat Companies” in the Nikkei SDGs Management Awards, which recognise leading companies that contribute to the SDGs. Prime Seat Companies, a new designation Nikkei has introduced this year, recognises companies that continue to receive high evaluations for their outstanding efforts in SDGs, as companies continue to improve the quality of their SDGs initiatives year by year, and Ricoh has been selected as one of the inaugural recipients.
The 2024 Nikkei SDGs Management Awards evaluates Japanese companies that address resolving social, economic, and environmental issues through their businesses while enhancing corporate values by integrating SDGs to their management strategies. The survey is composed of questions from four areas—SDGs strategy and economic value, social value, environmental value, and governance—and uses eighteen evaluation criteria created based on corporate surveys and publicly available data to comprehensively assesses companies’ SDGs management.
At the 26 November award ceremony for the recognised companies, Akira Oyama, President and CEO of Ricoh, stated in his acceptance speech: “I am deeply honoured to receive this prestigious recognition as a Prime Seat Company and incredibly proud of our employees, whose dedication has been instrumental in advancing these initiatives. As a workplace services provider, we will continue leveraging the power of digital technology to resolve social issues surrounding working people and support their ability to unleash their creativity. Rooted in our diverse corporate culture, where every employee is empowered to thrive, the Ricoh Group is committed to continuous evolution.”
In other news, reports say Ricoh is eying up moving some of its production from China to Thailand to avoid US tariffs once President Trump’s new term starts. According to Nikkei Asia, the tariffs on Chinese products could be as high 60%.
