Message from the CEO

   Ricoh, aiming at harmonizing with society and earning its trust, established
the Ricoh Business Code of Conduct in April, 1993 as the standard for corporate
behavior as well as individual behavior by each and every officer and employee
of the Group.

   Furthermore, each group company also created a Code of Conduct based on the
Ricoh model which helped to enhance the reputation of the entire Group.

   However, in recent years the company has stepped up its role and influence
as a committed environmentalist and global citizen. With these new roles coming
to the fore, it has now become essential for companies to step up their
activity level from mere social contribution to one of responsibility to
society, with a management oriented toward corporate social responsibility.
Thus it behooves companies to carry out their corporate activities with a
keener sense of ethics, morals and responsibility over and above compliance
with regulations.

   Along with the globalization of our corporate activity and group management,
the Ricoh Group has been increasingly composed of people with different sets of
values in a variety of countries around the world and therefore the need to
unite our thinking around common values and standard of behavior has become
more and more urgent.

   I therefore decided that it was time to review the original Ricoh Business
Code of Conduct from the viewpoint of " a corporation which has responsibility
to harmonize with society and with the environment ". Then, we established "
the Ricoh Group CSR Charter " to be shared globally by the Ricoh group and "
the Ricoh Group Code of Conduct " that Ricoh group members should adopt as a
mind set and behavior guide.

   This Code ensures that we will continue into the future to be " a good
global corporate citizen with reliability and appeal ". I firmly believe that
serious adherence to this Code and Charter will help us to be even more
appreciated by customers and society alike. I expect every member of the Ricoh
Group family to take these principles to heart.

THE BASIC ATTITUDES TO BE ADOPTED BY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

It is important that all Officers and Employees, as individuals, citizens, and
business persons, shall understand the following basic concepts and seek to
implement them in their daily activities.

1.  Activities shall always be based on national and regional laws, properly
    understand, and strictly obeyed.

2.  Activities shall be those that can be performed with a clear conscience as
    good citizens, aware of their social responsibilities, and maintaining high
    ethical and moral standards.

3.  As business persons, they must act in a disciplined way, while at the same
    time respecting the individual differences and value systems of others,
    observing all basic rules and regulations established by the Ricoh Group,
    never confusing public and private interests, and acting with a full sense
    of their responsibility as representatives of the Ricoh Group.

4.  Realizing that all corporate activities, not only those that involve direct
    contact with the customer such as sales and maintenance, are evaluated by
    our customers, every effort must be made to ensure the maximum possible
    customer satisfaction.

5.  In order to stay keenly aware of the various changes and problems we face,
    we must act autonomously. Always seeking to maintain the creativity to
    freely generate a full range of ideas, we must think independently and
    create new values.

6.  We must always put ourselves in the other person's place, whether they are
    fellow employees, customers, those with whom we do business, or cooperating
    companies, and make ourselves useful to them.

7.  We must make every effort to ensure that the progress of the company is
    fully consistent with the personal happiness of its people, seeking to
    bring about a richly satisfying life for all.

                 Corporate activities take place in close contact with the

15 HARMONIZING WITH SOCIETY

..   Basic Policy

         The Ricoh Group seeks to coexist harmoniously with society, and its

         build relationships of trust.

..   Actions

         (1) RESPECT THE WORLD'S CULTURES AND CUSTOMS.

                 There are many things that, although they may be perfectly
                 acceptable in one country or region, are quite unacceptable in
                 another. Officers and Employees must therefore act with the
                 necessary respect for the history, culture and customs of the
                 various nations and regions within which they operate.

         (2) ACTIVELY DISCLOSE INFORMATION.

                 Accurately publicizing the Ricoh Group's corporate attitudes
                 is the first prerequisite for deeper mutual understanding
                 between the group and society. In order to ensure that as many
                 people as possible have a proper understanding of the Ricoh
                 Group, Officers and Employees must follow the normal
                 procedures and actively provide fair and timely information.

         (3) KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS AND MAKE ACCURATE REPORTS.

                 Officers and Employees must keep accounting and financial
                 records in compliance with the relevant laws and company
                 regulations. Again, such records must be prepared so that
                 their content is complete, fair, accurate, timely and readily
                 understandable.
