Our Vision
Imaging to the People
Imagine doing work you love – feeling inspired and
changing the world.
Imagine a society where we work and put our passions into creating.
Imagine everyone generating energy that transforms humankind.
When confronted with adversity, re-imagine possibilities.
Our unique imaginations drive us and breathe creativity into our work, transforming our craft into elevated life value - one of fulfilment above efficiency.
We strive to bring fulfilment to our customers, their customers,
and the professionals in between. We draw many strengths from many people as we work for a better world.
From film and cameras to multifunctional peripherals and services, we’ve always made the invisible visible.
We’ve brought revolutions to both hardware and software, and made our mark on imaging.
However, it’s not the things we’ve done that move people. It’s excitement and discovery.
We make tools for people to explore the world.
Society changes. Business changes. People change.
Change is the engine of experimentation and the launchpad to explore new fields and shape the future with our customers.
Not everyone looks to tomorrow with our optimism, but not everyone is driven by challenges.
Our investment is in humanity and in building a better world, and it all began with an image of reality re-imagined.
IMAGING TO THE PEOPLE AND THE FIVE MATERIAL ISSUES
We continue our pursuit of human-centric living, responding to individualized needs and the needs of a diverse society.
At the same time, in order to realize a sustainable society while resolving social issues that are yet to be seen, we have defined five material issues that can create value also considering opportunity and risk as well.
We will transform the power of imaging into a force for people and society in the future.

Material issue1:
Improving fulfilment in work and corporate dynamism
In the ever-changing world of work, we take digital transformation to the next level by embracing automation and labour-saving when it comes to production processes. This mitigates burdens on skilled professionals, and creates environments where anyone can work anywhere – any time.
We’re redefining the workplace, so employees can feel empowered in an environment that’s more productive and inspiring than ever. All while helping organisations adapt to change, overcome challenges and bring new ideas to life.
Material issue2:
Supporting healthy, high-quality living
We’re building a healthier tomorrow by advancing medical care that leads to fuller, better lives. Our healthcare business has contributed to early detection and diagnosis, as well as reduced medical costs. And our developments in precision medicine – like genetic testing and drug discovery support services – can help improve quality of life for everyone.
Our Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) transmits a series of pulsed X-rays about 15 times per second and displays a series of static images to create a dynamic visualisation.
By seeing a dynamic motion of the body, healthcare professionals can better understand – and treat – their patients. Innovations like these help us move towards a world where we can predict diseases before they develop.
Material issue3:
Ensuring social safety and security
We’re building a safer world where people don’t need to do dangerous work. Where quality assurance is guaranteed, and market incidents are reduced. Where crime, terrorism and cyber-attacks can be predicted and prevented.
Digitalising printing processes create a safer working environment. And our security services can effectively recognise people, objects, and behaviour in real time. This does more than just ensure business continuity. It helps us create a more secure society for the future.
Material issue4:
Addressing climate change
We’re protecting the planet for future generations by driving environmental impact today. That's why Konica Minolta has been named one of Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World – for the sixth time.
We are open and accountable – reducing greenhouse gases, promoting Zero Waste Activities and minimising environmental impact. We follow widely adopted international social responsibility initiatives, including the United Nations Global Compact We reduce CO2 emissions by utilising digitalisation, reducing materials and providing new, more sustainable alternatives.
When our employees understand and promote our responsibilities, we can envision a more sustainable, responsible business – and society.
Material issue5:
Using limited resources effectively
We’re moving towards more intelligent manufacturing to drive long-term, environmentally conscious, production efficiency.
Utilising on-demand production and recycling technology (with advanced measurement and differentiation) means we can prioritise ecologically smarter manufacturing. At the same time, digital printing allows us to reduce transport, storage, and disposal of intermediate materials.
For example, our inkjet printing capabilities help drive sustainability by reducing energy consumption, paper wastage and CO2 emissions. As there are no aluminium plates (used in analogue printing) there’s no waste liquid. So the correct volume of materials is always produced.
