Human Capital: Diversity
Basic Concept and Vision of DEI
Click to jump to the corresponding section in this page
Background and Issues
We believe that the diversity of our talent is the source of new and innovative ideas and that we can create solutions that balance our support people to achieve their own purpose with the realization of a sustainable society as stated in our management vision.
We have been working for years to improve equity and inclusiveness for social minorities and to foster an organizational culture that enables each and every member to maximize their different strengths and to live up to their potential. Since the management integration of Konica and Minolta in 2003, we have accelerated these efforts.
In order to realize our vision and achieve sustainable growth recognized by society, Konica Minolta needs to strengthen the promotion of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as One Global Konica Minolta Group.
Basic Concept
We welcome, appreciate, and value what makes each employee unique and seek to nurture individual capabilities and aspirations to solve new challenges together.
Konica Minolta fosters a culture that enables individuals to thrive, stimulates creativity, problem-solving, and innovation, which in turn facilitates our collective intelligence.
Responding to the dramatic changes in the business climate surrounding us, we expect “The Creation of New Value” to draw out and incorporate perspectives and ideas that go beyond the scope of past approaches. To put into practice “7. Talent Development and Fostering of an Organizational Culture” in 2023, as part of our commitment to fostering talent development and an organizational culture outlined in the Konica Minolta Group Charter of Corporate Behavior, we disseminated the Konica Minolta Group Diversity Management Commitment, which is our basic approach for promoting DEI within the Company, both internally and externally.
Konica Minolta promotes Diversity(individual thriving), Equity(fair opportunities), and Inclusion(facilitating collective intelligence) to drive co-creation efforts based on recognizing and understanding the diversity of all stakeholders, thereby continuously creating and offering new value that contributes to the growth of our customers’ businesses. Together with our corporate clients, we strive to help build a prosperous, sustainable society where everyone can pursue their own purpose and happiness.
Based on the Diversity Management Commitment, Konica Minolta will clearly define its vision in terms of DEI, establish a promotion system, and systematically implement measures.

Promotion System
This system is overseen by the executive officer responsible for diversity enhancement, who is appointed by Konica Minolta’s global group president and CEO. The promotion of DEI across the Konica Minolta Group as one entity is led by Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Office, established at Konica Minolta, Inc., and is driven by a vertical approach in which Executive Officers and Corporate Vice Presidents responsible for each business and function implement measures to achieve their respective targets, together with a horizontal support structure in which DEI promotion departments at major group companies assist other Group companies. Through these efforts, the Konica Minolta Group will work together to accelerate the progress of DEI.
Implement measures to achieve targets under the responsibility of Executive Officers and Corporate Vice Presidents
Executive Officers and Corporate Vice Presidents are responsible for realizing the vision for 2030, setting targets and formulating measures through the end of FY2025 for their respective businesses and functions. These actions will be promoted as one of the management strategies of each business and function.
DEI Office of Konica Minolta, Inc. and key geographical companies will support local Group companies
The DEI Offices established at the main companies of the Konica Minolta Group will support the promotion of DEI at Group companies based on their specialized knowledge and experience in order to realize our DEI goals.
