Sustainability & Environment

In January 2009, Konica Minolta Global launched a new program and long-term environmental goal, Eco Vision 2050; a reduction of CO₂ emissions of 80% from its worldwide business activities by the year 2050. This initiative to reduce CO₂ emissions included collaborating with external stakeholders, such as suppliers, customers and society to attain this goal.

Konica Minolta has implemented Three Green Activities as part of its effort to realize the medium-term environmental goals. First, the Green Products Certification System promotes the development of environmentally responsible products. Second, the Green Factory Certification System allows for a comprehensive evaluation of its production sites’ environmental activities. Third, Green Marketing activities ensure sales companies around the world make and execute environmental activity plans that are closely tied to their local areas. The Konica Minolta Group is working to bring about environmental innovations through the Three Green Activities.
