We support a sustainable society. This includes not only reducing our environmental impact, but working with our customers, employees, vendors, and community to conserve biodiversity and enhance ecosystems. We believe these activities will not only heal the present environment, but set the stage for future repair and recovery.
Ricoh's Sustainable Development Award (RSDA) Program
We are committed to empowering future innovators. Today’s young minds play a vital role in building harmony between business and the environment. Through the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)—the world’s largest pre-college science competition—Ricoh awards scholarships to students creating practical, sustainable solutions for environmental challenges. Since 2005, we’ve provided over $470,000 in scholarships to support their innovative ideas.
2025 RSDA Winner
The 2025 Ricoh Sustainable Development Award went to Hanah Koh, a senior at Harmony Science Academy in El Paso, Texas. Hanah earned a $10,000 scholarship for her project, “Heatleaf: A Small Scale Hybrid Renewable Energy System That Incorporates Biomimicry.” Her innovative design uses nature-inspired principles to make clean energy more accessible and affordable for underserved communities.
As part of our sponsorship with Society for Science, Ricoh also supports nearly 400 regional science and engineering fairs worldwide. In 2025, we planted 400 trees on behalf of Ricoh winners.
We are proud to support these innovative young minds as they work to build an environmentally sustainable future.
Marine wildlife conservation
Removing debris from shorelines is not simply a matter of clean-up, but also a critical conservation effort for marine wildlife. We encourage our employees to donate time and energy to these activities with efforts throughout the United States and Canada.
