Ricoh today announced its new environmental goals for 2040: net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions*1 under Scope 1 and 2, 100% shift to renewable energy for electricity consumption in its business activities (RE100*2), advancing its original 2050 targets by ten years. To accelerate Ricoh's response to climate change, an urgent global issue, these goals aim to reduce 90% GHG emissions from fiscal 2015 through voluntary efforts and 10% reduction through offset by internationally acceptable methods*3. The new 2040 goals also include a 65% Scope 3 reduction rate in all categories from fiscal 2015, an expansion from 2030 Scope 3 goal of selected categories: 1 (procurement), 4 (transportation), and 11 (use). Achieving Scope 1, 2, and 3 net-zero by 2050 is another latest addition where Ricoh aims for a 90% emissions reduction from fiscal 2015 levels through voluntary efforts.
