Ricoh suspended all shipments to Russia


Like many other companies, Ricoh has also suspended all shipments to Russia. The company issued several press releases on that topic:

Response to Ukraine Conflict

Ricoh Europe – The violence and speed with which the humanitarian crisis is unfolding across Ukraine and the surrounding area is deeply distressing. Our thoughts are with every person impacted by this deeply shattering conflict.
As a result of the conflict, Ricoh has taken the decision to suspend shipments of all devices to Russia. We will continue to fully comply with all sanctions imposed on Russia.
Our primary concern is for all those impacted by the conflict. Ricoh Europe has made a donation to the Red Cross, as has Ricoh Group, while our operating companies across Europe are taking action to support the humanitarian crisis through fundraising and other activities.
This conflict goes against our founding philosophy and every value we hold dear as a global organisation – we stand shoulder to shoulder in our desire for a swift and peaceful resolution.
