Ricoh has been selected for inclusion in six ESG indices for Japanese equities adopted by the GPIF.
Ricoh announced that it has been selected for inclusion in all six Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) indices for Japanese equities adopted by Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world’s largest government pension fund.
Ricoh has also been included in the FTSE4Good Index, one of the most recognised global ESG indices, for 22 consecutive years since 2004, underscoring its long-term commitment to sustainable practices.
Ricoh’s approach to sustainability is to pursue a sustainable society built on the “Three Ps Balance,” which represents the balance of three key elements: 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.
Ricoh added that it remains committed to addressing social issues and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its business operations.
