Preventing Global Warming
Basic Concept
Recognizing that the prevention of global warming is an important responsibility of a manufacturer, Konica Minolta is taking steps to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the entire product life cycle. In order to achieve CO2 reduction targets for all stages of the product life cycle, the company has set targets in four areas: emissions from production and R&D sites in Japan, emissions from production sites in the U.S., Europe, and Asia (excluding Japan), emissions during distribution, and emissions during product usage. Measures have been implemented in each of these areas.
