The Ricoh Leasing Group is promoting strategies to add value and differentiate itself in the three areas of healthcare, jobs, and housing. In healthcare, we contribute to extending healthy life expectancies through medical equipment leasing and financial solutions in the medical and healthcare field. In jobs, we provide services that help small and medium-sized companies improve productivity, especially in BPO. In housing, we work to develop housing finance and rental businesses to provide safe, secure living environments. We are also proactively working on CSR efforts to help solve social issues and build a prosperous future by creating businesses in these fields.

Ricoh Leasing has provided Doctor Support Loans for physicians starting new practices, drawing on our insight and expertise in leasing and installment sales in the medical and healthcare field. Not only do we perform financing, we provide information through our dedicated Doctor Support website and a variety of other tools to support the opening of medical practices.
This support program considers a variety of economic factors, not only the formulation of a business plan and providing funds for this business, but also factors including the surrounding population, competitive landscape, and real estate prices in the location where the business will open, and offers proposals tailored to the needs of physicians opening a new practice. This program works with 170 new healthcare-related facility openings each year.

Medical institutions are currently facing challenges such as work style reforms, creating rewarding workplaces, and securing human resources. In addition, various costs are increasing due to soaring prices of commodities and resources, making productivity improvement an urgent issue. Therefore, with the aim of contributing to cost-effective management through the use of digital technologies, we have commercialized and launched a system focused on reducing receptionist labor requirements at medical institutions.
This system is notable in that it uses a single QR code to complete all processes from reservations to visits, reception, and (cashless) payment, is built around remote customer service that enables labor savings and security/access control that ensures peace of mind, and seamlessly links the reservation system, electronic medical records, and automated payment kiosks to achieve reception labor savings.
In partnership with Kanda Ekimae Ladies Clinic, this system has been in operation since June 2025. We will contribute to building rewarding workplaces, improving productivity, and increasing convenience for patients, and aim to provide this service to a variety of medical institutions while further polishing this solution.

In 2017, we launched our housing rental business. In June 2024, we began full-scale provision of rental housing for single senior citizens using condominiums we own, with the aim of solving the social issue of poor accessibility for senior citizens in renting homes. From February 2025, we have launched this rental housing under the Anju Place brand. "Anju" is composed of an, the Japanese word for peace of mind and safety, combined with ju, which can mean housing or longevity, making Anju Place a special place for single senior citizens. Currently, there are 18 units under this brand, including those we are recruiting residents for. Units are primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Going forward, we will continue to expand our services to enhance our knowledge in the senior citizen business area and provide safe and secure living environments.

Social issues make it difficult for the elderly to rent housing; there are extremely few properties that single senior citizens are able to rent, especially in urban centers. We are actively working to provide safe and secure housing for the increasing number of single senior citizens. By providing value-added services that allow single senior citizens to live their lives with peace of mind, we hope to differentiate ourselves from other rental housing and help to improve our earning power. On the other hand, since it is rare in Japan to offer rental housing focused on single seniors, raising awareness is the primary issue. We aim to create a world where there are no single senior citizens who have trouble finding homes by both polishing our services and raising awareness of them.
