The Global 100 is an annual ranking of the world's most sustainable corporations published by Canada-based Corporate Knights.
The assessment is executed across 25 key indicators that cover resource management, employee management, financial management, sustainable revenue and sustainable investment, and supplier performance.
The assessment results are announced each year during the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
The 20th annual ranking, the 2024 Global 100, assessed 6,733 publicly-traded companies with over US$1 billion in revenue.
Mikako Suzuki, Corporate Officer in charge of ESG and Risk Management, RICOH Company, Ltd. says: “This recognition is a testament to Ricoh's continuous and accelerated commitment to sustainability that stems from our strategic policy to align ESG with business growth. We are honoured to be recognised again and excited to continue our contribution in solving social issues and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through our business activities.”
RICOH's approach to sustainability is to pursue a sustainable society through a Three Ps Balance—Prosperity (economic), People (society), and Planet (environment). To realise 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.
In 2020, ESG initiatives were positioned as future financial targets, one of the dual companywide management targets along with regular financial goals, and since then, ESG indicators have been incorporated into RICOH's executive compensation.
