London, 15th June 2026 - Ricoh Europe today announces that its supply chain organisation, Ricoh Europe SCM B.V., has been awarded the prestigious Lean & Green Europe 3-Star certification, recognising significant progress in reducing carbon emissions across its logistics operations. 

The 3-Star accreditation marks a major milestone in Ricoh’s long-term commitment to sustainable supply chain transformation, reflecting measurable improvements in CO₂ reduction across its European outbound network.

Over the period 2015–2025, Ricoh has achieved a 40% reduction in CO₂ intensity, demonstrating sustained progress through targeted operational and infrastructure changes.

• Enhanced transparency, providing customers with detailed insights into the carbon footprint of deliveries 

Together, these initiatives demonstrate how Ricoh is embedding sustainability into every stage of its supply chain, while supporting customers in achieving their own environmental goals.
