Ricoh is named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Sustainability Programs and Services Hardcopy 2026 Vendor Assessment

For decades, sustainability and sustainable business practices have been embedded across our business, from product design and manufacturing to service delivery, resource recovery, and digital transformation.

As a global workplace services and digital solutions provider, we help our customers modernize how work gets done while advancing essential sustainability goals. That commitment has earned Ricoh recognition as a Leader for the second consecutive IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Sustainability Programs and Services Hardcopy 2026 vendor assessment.

IDC evaluated hardcopy vendors on their sustainability programs and services across business operations, products, services, corporate strategy, and governance, recognizing Ricoh's strengths in sustainability across our portfolio, robust, global ESG targets, innovation, and a consultative approach to helping customers achieve their sustainability objectives.

Our customers know they can trust us to help them reduce environmental impact, improve operational efficiency, and support increasingly complex reporting requirements. And that's vital today as sustainable operations are no longer aspirational; they are a business imperative.

As organizations continue to balance productivity, compliance, and environmental responsibility, we remain focused on delivering solutions that enable customers to make measurable progress toward their business and sustainability goals.
