Environmental Labels
At Konica Minolta, we believe that improving the environmental performance of the products we develop, produce, and sell enhances product value, helps solve customer challenges, and reduces environmental impact. To evaluate the environmental performance of Konica Minolta products using objective and common indicators, we actively work to acquire environmental labels. These labels demonstrate that our products meet the environmental performance required for each environmental label, and we will continue to obtain environmental labels and disclose information on them moving forward.
