TOKYO, October 31, 2024 – Ricoh Company, Ltd. today released the English editions of the Ricoh Group Integrated Report 2024 and the Ricoh Group Environmental Report 2024. The reports, in addition to the Ricoh Group ESG Databook published on September 6, serve as the cornerstone of Ricoh's proactive disclosure of information to external stakeholders to address growing interest in sustainability activities to enhance corporate value and expectations for expanded information disclosure.

The newly published Ricoh Group Environmental Report 2024 is a combination of the previously published Ricoh Group TCFD Report and the Ricoh Group Circular Economy Report.
