Wednesday 15. July 2020 - Ricoh was again selected for inclusion in the FTSE4Good index series, the FTSE Blossom Japan index and the MSCI Japan Empowering Women (WIN) index. Ricoh has been included in the FTSE4Good Index for 17 consecutive years and in the FTSE Blossom Japan Index and MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index (WIN) from 2017 onwards.

“Ricoh has identified seven key issues and set 14 ESG priority targets that have been integrated into its business strategy,” says Mikako Suzuki, Ricoh’s Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Sustainability Management Division. “We will contribute to achieving the SDGs agreed by the international community by using our operations to solve social problems and create the society we aspire to”.
FTSE Russell, a wholly owned subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Group, has been selecting companies for the FTSE4Good index since 2001, focusing on companies with strong ESG practices.
The FTSE Blossom Japan index was launched in 2017 with a focus on Japanese companies and has since been adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) as the stock price index for ESG investments.
The MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index (WIN) was created in 2017 to evaluate companies based on the extent to which they promote and maintain a higher level of gender diversity.
