Plan Overview
The Plan contains three policies, “Promoting
growth by leveraging collective Group
resources”, “Building a new corporate image”
and “Promoting world-class CSR management”.
Among these, in strengthening growth potential,
I believe it is important to go beyond previous
frameworks in the pursuit of synergies among
businesses in order to maximize the value-added
of these businesses. Consequently, we intend to
accelerate growth through the two drive wheels
of “equipment and service businesses” such as
multi-function peripherals (MFP), laser printers
(LBPs), digital printing equipment and medical
equipment on the one hand, and “components
business” such as optical components and
display materials on the other hand. Further, in
addition to emphasizing the Business
Technologies and Optics businesses as growth
areas, we plan to steadfastly execute our “genre-
top” strategy in establishing a position as the top
brand in specific markets and domains.
Moreover, we plan to strengthen our network
and solution implementation capabilities for
customers to evolve our business model.
Please explain the fundamental
policies of “FORWARD08”.
In terms of a new corporate image, we aim to be
a business partner that leads the way to business
success for customers. The Konica Minolta Group
has core technologies in optics, imaging, materi-
als and precision fabrication. By rapidly coalesc-
ing these, we can provide customers with revolu-
tionary products and professional services. In
addition, in CSR management, it is important to
be a corporation that is trusted by society in order
to maintain and enhance corporate value for the
Group. As a result, we plan to strengthen our
global development not only from an economic
perspective, but from the social and environmen-
tal perspectives as well. At the same time, we will
strengthen internal controls including compliance,
practice highly transparent management and
fulfill our social responsibilities as a corporation.
What sort of initiatives do you plan
to build a new corporate image
and to promote corporate social
responsibility (CSR) management?
