TOKYO, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh has been named a leader in Quocirca's Sustainability Leaders 2025 report, recognising its continued leadership and progress in driving sustainable innovation across its operations, supply chain, and customer solutions.
The independent study highlights Ricoh's comprehensive approach to sustainability, combining measurable carbon reduction, circular economy innovation, and data-driven services that help customers achieve their own sustainability goals. Based on Quocirca's scoring methodology, the market research firm positions Ricoh among the office print industry's top performers for the completeness of its sustainability-led offerings and the strength of its sustainability strategy and commitments.
Key highlights from the report
- Accelerating towards net zero
Ricoh has set an accelerated goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2040. The company has already reduced Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect from purchased energy) emissions by 59% from its 2015 baseline, achieved a 15% year-over-year total emissions reduction, and increased its renewable electricity usage to 43% globally, with a target of 100% by 2040. - Championing the circular economy
Ricoh devices are engineered for high energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact, achieving leading ecolabel certifications, including EPEAT, Ecologo, Blue Angel, and SuMPO. Devices are lighter and resource-efficient across their entire lifecycle – from manufacturing to end-of-life recovery. Through maximising reuse of components and expanding sales of factory-remanufactured and refurbished multifunction printers (MFPs), Ricoh continues to advance its circular economy goals. - Empowering customers with data-driven sustainability
Quocirca commended Ricoh's range of sustainability services for providing customers with transparent, measurable carbon data and offsetting aligned with the Oxford Offsetting Principles. - Embedding ESG principles across the value chain
Ricoh continues to embed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations across all aspects of its business, supported by a unified spend management platform that integrates ESG criteria into procurement processes. This approach helps Ricoh monitor supplier practices, reduce Scope 3 emissions, and prioritise sustainable sourcing.
The Quocirca report also noted that Ricoh is an active member of global sustainability initiatives, including the UN Global Compact, RE100, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Ricoh also maintains an "A" score from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for climate change and water security disclosure.
"Ricoh retains a leadership position in our 2025 Sustainability Vendor Landscape assessment", said Louella Fernandes, CEO of Quocirca. "Over the past year, the company has progressed its efforts in several areas, including increasing its global electricity consumption from certified 100% renewable sources; continuing to make operational and manufacturing changes to reduce its carbon footprint, expanding reuse and recycling initiatives; and investing in a unified spend management platform to embed ESG criteria into procurement processes."
"Ricoh is honoured to be recognised by Quocirca as a Sustainability Leader for 2025," said Kei Uesugi, Managing Director, Ricoh Asia Pacific. "This recognition reaffirms our long-term commitment to creating a positive impact for our customers, communities, and the planet."

Ricoh Recognised as a Sustainability Leader in Quocirca's 2025 Report
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BOH is honoured to have been invited to participate in Khazanah Nasional's Dana Warisan initiative at the iconic Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, one of Malaysia's most significant, historic and architecturally rich landmarks, renowned for its Moorish-inspired design.
The Dana Warisan initiative is part of the larger Warisan KL project which seeks to conserve and rejuvenate national heritage assets by reimagining them for adaptive reuse as inclusive, dynamic and living spaces. Launched by Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Warisan KL unites government agencies, GLCs, GLICs, private partners, and communities to transform heritage buildings into platforms that connect the past with the present, foster civic pride, engage communities - including visitors and tourists - and inspire future generations.
BOH's presence at Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad reflects a shared history that dates back to the formative years of Kuala Lumpur. The Russell family, founders of BOH, have been part of Malaya's development since 1890, when John Russell, fondly known as 'Jack', arrived in the Straits Settlements as the Selangor Government Printer. Serving under the British Resident in Selangor, Jack played a key role in documenting Malaya's early governance, infrastructure and social life, at a time when the Government Offices, today known as the Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, stood at the heart of the nation's administrative life.
From the early years, the family actively participated in Malaya's progress, across printing, engineering, construction, mining, agriculture and commerce. This legacy continued on when J.A. Russell, one of Jack's sons, founded BOH Plantations in 1929, pioneering Malaya's first highland tea garden in the Cameron Highlands and laying the foundation for what would become Malaysia's most beloved tea brand.
"Being part of the Warisan KL initiative at Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad is deeply meaningful for BOH," said Caroline Russell, Chairman of BOH. "It allows us to celebrate not only our own legacy but also the broader narrative of Malaysia's growth, one shaped by people, places and shared histories."
"Our journey in Malaya began in 1890, at a time when this very building symbolised administration, progress and the shaping of a nation," she added. "To share BOH's story within a landmark that has witnessed Malaysia's transformation is a powerful reminder that heritage is not static. It is an invaluable treasure we carry forward, nurture and pass on with purpose. We hope visitors will see how heritage lives on, not only in historic walls, but in ideas, values and everyday rituals, such as sharing a cup of tea," she reminisced.
Rooted in nearly a century of Malaysian heritage, BOH's history is one of enterprise, resilience and long-term stewardship - values that resonate strongly with Warisan KL's commitment to sustainable nation-building.
As part of this initiative, BOH is presenting curated exhibits recounting its legacy from 1890 to the present, offering visitors an immersive journey through its heritage and participation in Malaysia's development. Visitors can also take home a tangible part of this living legacy through BOH iconic teas, available for purchase at its onsite retail outlet.
"It is our hope that BOH's story can inspire Malaysians to reconnect with the past while looking confidently toward the future," added Caroline.
As BOH approaches a century of tea-making excellence, its participation in this rejuvenation project reaffirms a long-standing commitment to heritage, sustainability and community - brewing a legacy that continues to evolve with the nation. BOH…. Brewing for Tomorrow.
