Ricoh included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
January 9, 2025
Ricoh announced 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 fifth 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 for this year’s DJSI World Index. Ricoh has also been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific) for seven 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 realise this desired society, Ricoh has identified seven material issues in two areas, “Resolving social issues through business” and “Robust management infrastructure,” set 16 ESG targets in linkage with each material issue, and is implementing specific initiatives to achieve them. Based on these initiatives, Ricoh continued to receive high evaluations in the areas of “Governance & Economic,” “Environment,” and “Social.”
“We are proud to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the fifth consecutive year,” Chris Hopton, CEO of Ricoh Northern Europe, commented. “Organisations are increasingly looking to align with partners who can help them achieve their ESG goals. Ricoh has an unparalleled and deeply ingrained commitment in sustainability innovation, and this is reflected in the way we engage with our customers, partners and the wider community.”
