Ricoh has been awarded the highest Platinum rating from EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. 

Placing Ricoh among the top 1% of companies assessed, this is Ricoh’s second consecutive Platinum rating.

Mikako Suzuki, Corporate Officer in charge of ESG and Risk Management at Ricoh Company, Ltd., said: “We view this EcoVadis recognition as a testament to the tangible success of our efforts to place ESG at the core of management. The assessment highlights Ricoh’s progress in advancing environmental management through initiatives aligned with our environmental policies and targets, including efforts to help our customers reduce their environmental impact. 

This year, Ricoh achieved an overall score of 86 out of 100—an increase of 4 points from last year—with particularly strong recognition in the Environment category, along with notable improvements in the Labor & Human Rights and Sustainable Procurement.

Suzuki added, “It also reflects our strengthened ESG risk management across the supply chain, with improvements in labor conditions and human rights initiatives. This recognition is not an endpoint, but an important milestone in our ongoing journey toward a more sustainable society. Together with suppliers, customers and other partners around the world, we will continue advancing our initiatives in the areas of the environment, human rights, ethics and procurement, and enhancing our global credibility.”
