Environmental targets and actual results in FY2024 Scope of report: Ricoh Leasing Company, Ltd.
The use of electricity derived from renewable energy and the introduction of eco-cars helped us achieve our CO2 emission reduction target for fiscal 2024 (730 t-CO2). On the other hand, we did not achieve our resource conservation target due to increased sales activities, which caused increases in waste and paper consumption.

Environmental accounting
The Ricoh Leasing Group calculates environmental accounting items and analyzes the cost-benefit performance of environmental conservation Scope of report: Ricoh Leasing Company, Ltd. (excluding consolidated employees) activities, in order to promote environmental management. Results of analysis are used for decision-making, etc., in environmental management.

1.Environmental conservation cost
Environmental investments increased by 8.3 million yen from the previous year due to the proactive introduction of eco-cars. In addition, environmental expenses increased by 50.3 million yen from the previous year due to higher upstream/downstream environmental costs resulting from end-of-lease collection expenses.

Environmental management evaluation system
The Company inspects its own environmental management from various aspects using a unique environmental management evaluation system. The system is used as a tool to ascertain the Company’s position in relation to its environmental contribution and burden with respect to its business activities and develop medium- to long-term environmental targets and fiscal year policies. Evaluation results for fiscal 2024 are as shown below.
With regard to (ii) products and (iii) nonproduction sites, a decrease in the equipment collection rate and increase in paper consumption, respectively, resulted in lower points for each category. However, in (ix) biodiversity conservation and social contribution/external evaluations, a point increase was earned from the start of overseas greening activities for the reforestation of the Chiba seawall forest and earning the highest rating in the CDP Climate Change Report.
Based on these results, in fiscal 2024, we will continue our efforts to contribute to the environment through our businesses, aiming to increase the recovery rate and reduce paper consumption for (iii) nonproduction sites.
