To Our Stakeholders
The Ricoh Group has continued to progress alongside its customers since its inception in 1936,
bringing innovations to the world through its revolutionary optical and imaging equipment.
The operating conditions have continued to change over the years. Today, climate change,
globalization, the development of emerging economies, and the elimination of poverty as well
as the promotion of human rights are among the key issues on everyone’s agenda.
It was against this backdrop that we reinforced our dedication to our Founding Principles
of Love your neighbor, Love your country, Love your work under our Mission Statement,
through which we are committed to delivering new value to improve the quality of living and
drive sustainability.
Swift and dynamic reforms are vital for us to continue growing in this rapidly changing
world. At the start of the year ended March 31, 2018, we launched RICOH Resurgent under
our 19th Mid-Term Management Plan. This symbolized our determination to embark on a new
start by casting aside the traditions and precedents that hinder progress. In the year ended
March 31, 2019, we rolled out RICOH Ignite, under which we boosted profitability in core
businesses while expanding new businesses. In the final year of our 19th Mid-Term Management
Plan, we are striving to further enhance profitability in businesses that we have turned around
and reach the targets of that plan.
EMPOWERING DIGITAL WORKPLACES is our new unified global value proposition which
defines how all Ricoh Group employees bring value to our customers. It underpins our efforts
to help people leverage their individuality to work smarter and grow. At the same time it
broadens the value we seek to provide to organizations and society at large so we can help
resolve social issues through business.
We will continue to leverage our corporate tagline of “imagine. change.” in the
approximately 200 countries and regions in which we operate to imagine the future and
change what we do today. We will continue striving to satisfy our customers and all
stakeholders by creating unique value beyond their expectations.

Business Strategy
The Ricoh Group’s businesses grow by constantly anticipating and adapting to
social trends and needs.
Here, we explain where we are headed with key businesses and present
products and case studies to highlight our achievements.

Growth Strategy #0 Connecting people. Improving their workstyles.

• Office Printing It is often difficult to communicate exactly what you want or need to say. Which is why it’s so fulfilling when finally making
yourself understood.
Ricoh’s mission is to bridge these two extremes.
Connecting people and information seamlessly to create new value.
Ricoh’s history is the story of realizing different means of helping businesses communicate whatever they wish to say and
however they wish to say it.
Over time, we have delivered various office printing devices and office automation solutions to more than 1,400,000
customers in over 200 countries and regions.
Leveraging our innovative technologies and strong customer relationships, we continue to develop new ways of communi-
cating and contributing to a major evolution in workstyles.
Our aim is to improve productivity in every workplace, and by doing so, help solve many social problems.
Meeting our commitment to a more sustainable society by transforming “wish we could” thinking into “of course we
can” solutions.
Growth Strategy #1 Printing Beyond Print.

• Commercial Printing Faced with digital transformation, what opportunities are there for printing in the future?
• Industrial Printing At Ricoh, we believe printing will bring more value deeper into people’s lives.
• Thermal We see digital printing’s potential to inspire the power of the human imagination, help fulfill people’s dreams, and solve
many of the World’s challenges.
We are giving ‘display printing’ the ability to move people’s hearts and minds.
We are enabling communication to generate new value not just on paper, but on all kinds of media such as fabrics,
building materials and even food.
And we’re giving ‘applied printing’ the power to literally change people’s lives. With innovation in digital printing that can
form battery parts, medicines and even biological cells.
Using digital expertise and our eighty-year heritage in technology innovation to deliver a more sustainable and abundant
future for everyone, Ricoh creates Printing Beyond Print that brings new opportunities to every aspect of people’s lives.
Growth Strategy #2 New digital possibilities for business and society.

• Office Services The digital evolution of your workplace may be pretty advanced, but it’s next to meaningless if you can’t make the most of it.
• Industrial Products Data becomes valuable information only when it touches human emotions.
• Smart Vision Connecting offices and frontlines and digitizing workflows and communications to reform the entire work process makes
individuals feel productive, valued and in control.
And by helping them to be better informed and in control by transforming workplace conversations and movements into
visible information that everyone can easily see and instantly use.
Ricoh is opening up new ways to connect individuals and information, highlighting the possibilities hidden in every
business field and society by opening eyes and minds to the commercial and creative potential of improved workflow
and communication.
Ricoh unlocks the advantages of digital possibilities to support new styles of working, leading to greater collaboration,
interaction and solutions that will ensure a sustainably prosperous future for us all.

Healthcare
Japan has the most aged society among developed

nations. Around 30% of its population will be above
the age of 65 by 2020. The difference between
average life expectancies and healthy lifespans is
around 10 years. There is an urgent need to shrink
that gap and alleviate rising medical spending and
the workloads of medical professionals.
Ricoh entered the healthcare field 1 in 2016. It

We analyzed scenarios in keeping with the following steps. These were to assess climate-related materiality, identify and deter-
mine scenarios, and evaluate and identify business impacts (risks and opportunities). We accordingly identified risks and oppor-
tunities relating to climate change.
Scenario analysis and preconditions

· We have categorized key events associated with climate change as transition risks (encompassing policies and regulations,
technology, market, reputation) and physical risks (acute and chronic).
· We adopted the IPCC’s RCP 2.6, a representative scenario that assumes a 2°C increase in the world’s average temperature for
transition risks, and the IPCC’s RCP 8.5, a scenario for a 4°C temperature rise for physical risks. In addition, we considered the
IPCC’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR15).

We believe that it is important for every employee to adhere strictly to laws, company regulations and corporate
ethics in their daily activities.
All Ricoh Group executives and employees in Japan receive annual training via e-learning on the Ricoh Group
Code of Conduct 3 , which provides principles of conduct in daily activities. Equivalent training is given to all
overseas Ricoh Group companies.

We have restated the consolidated financial statements due to changing the year-ends of our subsidiaries from the year ended March 31, 2012. We also recalculated the figures for the year ended
March 31, 2010 and the year ended March 31, 2011 for reference purposes.
Product lines included in the product categories were changed from the year ended March 31, 2013. We also recalculated the figures for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended March 31,
2012 for reference purposes.
Middle East and Africa sales have shifted from Other to Europe as of the year ended March 31, 2013. We also recalculated the figures for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended March
31, 2012 for reference purposes.
The compilation method has been changed from the year ended March 31, 2015, such as the reclassification of certain products, e.g., from Production Printing to Industrial Products. We also recalcu-
lated the figures for the year ended March 31, 2014 for reference purposes.
We have retroactively adjusted the IFRS-based data from the year ended March 31, 2013 due to the change in reporting of some lease transactions from a gross basis to a net basis as of the year ended
March 31, 2016.
