Ricoh has formulated its Scope 3 supply chain greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction scenario, underpinning enhancement of GHG emission reduction efforts during its 21st mid-term management strategy, beginning April 2023.
The scenario will allow Ricoh to further achieve its goals and includes GHG emission reduction volume and actions for each category under Scope 3, category 1: purchased goods and services, category 4: upstream
Renewable electricity transportation and distribution, and category 11: use of sold products.
The company has been enhancing category 1 and category 11 over the years, mainly through new product development. However, in category 4, GHG emission volume was not fully visualised based on the actual transportation status. A new tool has been implemented to overcome this issue, allowing Ricoh also to enhance reduction efforts for category 4.
