- *1
- Waste discharged externally: Volume discharged outside Konica Minolta sites, obtained by subtracting the internally recycled and reduced volumes from the total waste generated in production processes.
- *2
- China RoHS: Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products. Hazardous substances regulations enacted by China in March 2007.
- *3
- Environmental impact index: An index unique to Konica Minolta designed to measure impact on the environment, obtained by multiplying VOC emission volume by a hazard factor (impact on human health and environmental impact) and a location factor.
