Policy
Environmental Management Concept
Opportunity from Changes in Society
As various environmental issues, such as climate change, resource depletion, and degradation of natural capital, become more serious, society is rapidly changing toward the building of a "decarbonized society," "circular economy," and "society in harmony with nature," accompanied by the strengthening of various policies and regulations, technological evolution, and market changes.
These changes pose a risk of losing business opportunities for Konica Minolta. However, they also represent significant risks for our customers and their supply chains, providing solutions that help address environmental issues in our customers’ value chains can instead create opportunities for Konica Minolta.
Konica Minolta's environmental management is built on the concept of "growing businesses and creating new businesses by solving environmental issues," and aims to become a company needed by society by contributing to the resolution of global environmental issues, including climate change, while also achieving company growth.
Konica Minolta’s Approach to Environmental Management
Expanding Environmental Contributions and Growing Business through Co-creation with Stakeholders
Konica Minolta has assets in the form of knowledge and technologies cultivated through efforts to reduce its own environmental impact, such as on-site engagement in manufacturing, measurement and visualization, and improvement and transformation of production processes. By leveraging this know-how and collaborating with stakeholders in our value chain, especially business partners and customers, we aim to take active role in reducing CO2 emissions across society and to grow our businesses together.
As for collaboration with business partners, we have carried out Carbon Neutral Partner activities for over 10 years, working together to reduce CO2 emissions. We provide solutions to our customers that contribute to reducing their environmental impact. In addition, since 2020, we have operated an Environmental Digital Platform to support inter-company collaboration and co-creation for environmental management.
By continuing to co-create with a wider range of stakeholders in society, we aim to drive transformations in industrial value chains and social systems, achieve substantial reductions in environmental impact that could not be accomplished by our company alone, and contribute to the growth of our business.
