Plan
In its medium-term plan through 2025, Konica Minolta has set KPIs for “emissions reduced by transforming customer business processes with Konica Minolta solutions,” “emissions reduced from Konica Minolta’s manufacturing processes,” and “resources effectively used in Konica Minolta products and services,” and is working to achieve them.
As for the effective use of resources of customers, Konica Minolta expects to reduce emissions by reducing the use of printing plates, test printing, and other resources by promoting the change from analog to digital printing in the industrial printing industry.
Konica Minolta expects to reduce emissions at its own production sites by pursuing productivity improvements and reducing secondary material use. To increase the resources effectively used in its products, the Company will use small, lightweight, and recycled materials.
Results
In fiscal 2022, the number of industrial digital printing machines in use in the market fell below plan, so the expected emissions reduction benefits for customers were not achieved.
On the other hand, emission reductions at Konica Minolta’s production sites exceeded its plan thanks to successful emissions reduction measures at each site.
In terms of the effective use of resources in Konica Minolta products and services, the sales volume of products that use small, lightweight, and recycled materials, and their environmental benefits, were below plan.
