Ricoh has once again been recognized by Natural Resources Canada with a 2025 ENERGY STAR Canada Award for Manufacturer of the Year – Electronics. A five-time honoree since 2019, the achievement exemplifies an enduring dedication to the sustainable manufacturing of energy-efficient products, echoing Ricoh’s commitment of nearly 50 years to conducting business in a way that supports the preservation of the environment and the sustainability of the planet.

In addition to contributing to ENERGY STAR, Ricoh supports energy efficiency and a sustainable society in a variety of ways, including the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award (RSDA), a monetary scholarship presented to a high school student whose science project demonstrates innovation in environmental sustainability at the annual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. In its 20th year, the RSDA has awarded more than $480,000 in scholarships to date. The 2025 winner, Hanah Koh of Harmony Science Academy in El Paso, TX, received $10,000 for her project, “HeatLeaf,” which used smart design to create a small-scale renewable energy system that combined solar, wind, and thermal sources, and implemented biomimetic principles of plant species to generate power that could potentially be scaled to power homes.

DDL’s commitment to environmental sustainability mirror’s Ricoh’s own. Ricoh’s Founding Principles from 1946 include “The Spirit of Three Loves” — “Love your neighbour, Love your country, Love your work.” The ENERGY STAR Canada Award is a reflection of this commitment, along with numerous milestones and achievements throughout history.
