| Environmental
Management System
The Ricoh Group respects the ISO 14001 environmental management
system, which has received worldwide recognition, and is constructing
an environmental management system that complies with this system.
While horizontally expanding its know-how throughout the 21 production
bases that have already obtained certification, the Ricoh Group
is also planning to obtain ISO 14001 certification at its business
bases. The environmental management system will be updated continually
in the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle.
Environmental Auditing
The Ricoh Group implements environmental auditing independently
by business sites and ensures the achievement of the environmental
action plans group wide. An in-house environmental auditor carries
out the internal environmental auditing implemented independently
by each business site. The results are then reported to top management
at each business site, improving the environmental management system.
To achieve this environmental improvement of the whole Ricoh Group,
a larger PDCA cycle for the environmental management system is
implemented.
