At Konica Minolta, preserving our planet is part of our business; in fact, it’s our philosophy, creating value for our customers and society. Our long-term environmental action plan, EcoVision 2050, promotes recycling and reusing the Earth’s limited resources and works to restore and preserve biodiversity.
Our three green activities are helping Konica Minolta meet our environmental goals. First, we create and provide environmentally responsible products. Second, we’re reducing CO2 emissions at our production sites with our green factory certification system. To date, we’ve been able to achieve a 12 percent reduction in CO2 emissions; our goal is 20 percent by 2050. Third our green marketing activities ensure we’re practicing environmentally responsible sales and service.
Our environmental efforts have earned accolades, including Konica Minolta being named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for 4 consecutive years, the RobecoSam Silver Class Award for Corporate Sustainability, a First Place ranking in the Nikkei Environmental Management Survey and a Top Rating from the Climate Performance Leadership for activities related to climate change.
