Ricoh has been awarded the highest Platinum rating from business sustainability ratings provider EcoVadis. Placing Ricoh among the top 1% of companies assessed, this is Ricoh’s first Platinum rating, following 10 consecutive years of Gold ratings from 2014 to 2024.
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates more than 150,000 companies worldwide across 21 sustainability criteria in four core themes: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Many global companies rely on EcoVadis insights when selecting suppliers.
This year, Ricoh achieved an overall score of 82 out of 100 – an increase of five points from last year – with particularly strong recognition in the environment category, along with notable improvements in the labour and human rights and ethics categories. This achievement reaffirms Ricoh’s commitment to responsibility and accountability, positioning the company as a leader in its sector.
