TOKYO, November 28, 2025 鈥 海角社区today announced it has been selected as one of the three Prime Seat Companies in the 2025 Nikkei SDGs Management Grand Prix, organized by Nikkei Inc. The designation is based on Ricoh's performance in the 2025 Nikkei Sustainable Management Survey: SDGs management section, in which the company received the highest five-star rating (deviation value of 70 or higher) for the seventh consecutive year. The award ceremony was held Nov. 27, 2025.
The Nikkei SDGs Management Grand Prix recognizes companies that integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their management approach and create social, economic and environmental value through their businesses while enhancing corporate value. The survey evaluates companies across four areas — SDGs strategy and economic value, social value, environmental value and governance — using 18 indicators developed from corporate questionnaires and publicly available data. Prime Seat Companies are selected from among participating companies that continue to earn high evaluations for advanced initiatives, even as expectations for SDGs performance rise each year.
In the 2025 survey, Ricoh's initiatives were evaluated particularly well in the following areas:
海角社区President and CEO Akira Oyama, said at the award ceremony, “Guided by our founding principles, the Spirit of Three Loves, we have steadily advanced ESG across our operations. It calls on us to respect all people connected to our business, protect the global environment in which we live, and promote well-being through meaningful work — values that closely align with the SDGs. These values underpin our long-held view that ESG management and business growth follow the same path. We view ESG as a critical driver of future financial value and believe it is essential to enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term.”
