Konica Minolta's Sustainable Finance

Konica Minolta engages in sustainable finance that links financing terms with sustainability goals.
We have formulated the Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework, which sets out the rules for financing linked to sustainability targets and business activities. This framework has been formulated in compliance with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles 2024 set by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and the Ministry of the Environment's Green Bond and Sustainability-Linked Bond Guidelines, 2024 Edition.

Bond CharacteristicsThe characteristics of the Sustainability-Linked Bonds issued under this framework will change depending on the achievement status of the SPT. Suppose a third-party verified report stating that the SPT has been achieved is not received by the determination date. In that case, donations in an amount corresponding to the percentage of the amount raised through Sustainability-Linked Bond issuance, as specified in the statutory disclosure documents will be made to qualified donation recipients by the reimbursement date. Qualified donation recipients are public interest incorporated associations, public interest foundations, general foundations, international organizations, local government-certified non-profit organizations, local governments, national and public university corporations, school corporations, research institutions, and similar organizations related to the improvement of SPT that have not been achieved. The recipients of the donations will be determined with the necessary approvals prior to the reimbursement date.
