Konica Minolta’s commitment to sustainability
In its Medium-term Business Plan “DX2022,” Konica Minolta declares its determination to evolve into a company clearly committed to solving social issues as part of its basic policy, and has remained committed to developing innovations that can promote both the creation of new value for the global environment and human society, and the growth of its business. In the wake of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the company considered how it could contribute to the fight against the pandemic, and has been providing various support and solutions, leveraging the strengths it has developed in the healthcare business and a wide range of other areas. To help with the recent vaccination effort, for example, the company assisted in setting up mass vaccination centres by applying its know-how in arranging event venues, while adding speech-to-text and remote sign-language interpreting services to its “multi-language interpreting for medical institutions” app, to help hearing-impaired persons at vaccination centres. In this way, Konica Minolta continues efforts to address social problems through its business activities.
 
Meanwhile, the Environmental Digital Platform launched by 16 Japanese companies, including Konica Minolta, has now grown to 44 member companies in just one year since its inception. Konica Minolta uses this platform to work with the companies to develop and share country-specific navigation maps that compile information related to the introduction of renewable energy and recycled materials, thus helping to accelerate the environmental management efforts of the member companies.
 
Through these efforts, Konica Minolta is striving to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while facilitating the evolution of the business community and human society.
