Ricoh included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for four consecutive years

TOKYO, December 13, 2023 – Ricoh announced today that it has been selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World Index), one of the world's most renowned indices for ESG (environmental, social, and governance), for the fourth consecutive year.

DJSI, compiled by Dow Jones & Company and sustainability investment research firm S&P Global, was the first global sustainability index to assess a company's corporate sustainability from the economic, environmental, and social development perspectives.

DJSI reviewed approximately 3,500 major companies worldwide, selecting 321 companies to the DJSI World Index this year. Among the 35 companies in the Computers & Peripherals and Office Electronics industry, Ricoh received high evaluations in areas of "Governance & Economic," "Environment," and "Social," achieving the top score in its sector in overall evaluation, as of Dec. 9, 2023.

Ricoh has also been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific) for six consecutive years.

Ricoh's approach to sustainability is to pursue a sustainable society through a Three Ps Balance—Prosperity (economic), People (society), and Planet (environment). To realize this desired society, Ricoh has identified seven material issues in two areas, “Resolving social issues through business,” and “Robust management infrastructure,” and set 16 ESG targets in linkage with the material to work toward solving these issues. Ricoh will continue to contribute to solving social issues and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through its business activities.
