Ricoh announced that it has won the prestigious Grand Prix award at the 2nd Annual Nikkei SDGs Management Grand Prix.
The award recognises companies that work toward solving social, economic, and environmental issues through their businesses and improve corporate value by linking SDGs to their management efforts. Based on the results of the “Nikkei SDGs Management Survey” conducted by Nikkei Inc., the External Review Committee comprehensively reviewed the efforts and strategies of 731 companies in Japan.
The award ceremony was held on 24 November 2020.
The Grand Prix award is given to the best company that has both improved corporate value and contributed to the SDGs throughout their corporate activities at a high level. It evaluates the four elements of SDGs strategy / economic value, social value, and environmental value, plus governance, which is the foundation that supports them.
At the awards ceremony, Kunio Ito, Chairman of the Jury, said: “Ricoh has scored very high points in all items, and each element is linked at a high level. As a top runner in environmental management, it has laid the groundwork for a long time, but this award is a big manifestation of it as SDGs.”
