Ricoh endorses the “Business Ambition for 1.5°C” campaign

TOKYO, October 06, 2020 – Ricoh Company, Ltd. has announced its endorsement of the “Business Ambition for 1.5°C” campaign. This campaign is led by the United Nations Global Compact, We Mean Business coalition*1, and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) *2, which aims to reduce global temperature increases due to global warming to less than 1.5°C from pre-industrial levels and to achieve virtually zero GHG emissions by 2050. It calls on companies to set GHG reduction targets based upon scientific evidence. Currently, approximately 300 company’s top management have expressed their support.

In March of this year, Ricoh updated its environmental targets in light of changes in global trends regarding global warming by revising its global GHG (greenhouse gas) reduction target for its own emissions from 30% to 63% in 2030, as compared to 2015. This new target, which has been approved by SBTi, will help limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Climate change is one of the most pressing social issue facing our global society. Ricoh has committed to become carbon neutral by 2050 and will continue to promote the realization of a zero-carbon society thorough energy conservation activities, the use of renewable energy and its active participation in international initiatives.
