Ricoh Foundation Day 2026: Empowering People with the Mindset to Move Forward

On the occasion of the anniversary of Ricoh’s establishment, Ricoh organized Ricoh Foundation Day 2026 to celebrate another important milestone of the organization and to reaffirm its mission, “Fulfillment through Work”—delivering fulfillment and success through meaningful work. The event served as a platform to communicate Ricoh’s organizational direction, knowledge, and inspiration to all employees.

This year’s event was held with a unified objective: to prepare people alongside technology. Ricoh firmly believes that sustainable success begins with the right mindset within the organization, and that developing human potential is the core driver of growth in the modern world of work.
