Our Thoughts

• Fulfillment through Work

  Work can be stressful at times.
  But also incredibly fulfilling when you overcome a challenge. Fulfillment through Work. The foundation of this is the “Spirit of Three Loves” that Ricoh has pursued tirelessly since the company was established in 1936.We launched office automation in 1977. We wanted to revolutionize work by releasing workers from the tedium of endless repetitive tasks so that they could enjoy that feeling gained from achievement and self-development one gains from completing more engaging tasks.
  By 2017, this had developed further to become our value proposition, “EMPOWERING DIGITAL WORKPLACES,” where we empower worker’s creativity and improve workplaces.
  Ricoh provides services to enable individuals to work wherever and whenever they want.
  We want to provide a future where all workers, workplaces, and workflows will be connected and thus contribute to a more sustainable society where people are empowered to innovate.Ricoh is changing this moment in time by imagining the future, and by providing fulfillment through work, we will enhance the quality of life.

  

• Connecting for Sustainability
  ～Driving Sustainability for Our Future～

  By connecting workers and information, we create workplace solutions that, in turn, resolve social challenges. We help to realize the prosperity of companies and enhance society at the same time.

  Based on this approach since Ricoh was founded in 1936, we, along with all our group employees, have always taken on challenging tasks that are ahead of their time. This has formed our concept to balance the relationship between the economy (Prosperity), society (People) and the environment (the Planet). We call this the “Three Ps Balance”.

  We decided to tackle seven key issues based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): “Creativity from Work”, “QOL Enhancement”, “Zero-carbon Society”, “Circular Economy”, “Stakeholder Engagement”, “Open Innovation” and “Diversity and Inclusion”.

  The Ricoh Group will connect all the solutions we are striving to develop by EMPOWERING DIGITAL WORKPLACES everywhere, to create a truly sustainable society.
