KONICA MINOLTA, INC. Annual Report 2014
Our Responsibility
Environmental Initiatives 2
Evolving our Green Products
The Green Products Certifi cation System is Konica Minolta’s proprie-
tary system for evaluating and certifying products with superior envi-
ronmental performance. The Group has set targets to increase the
sales ratio of Green Products in a deliberate effort to promote the cre-
ation of environmentally responsible products. In fiscal 2013 the
Group created 39 new certifi ed products, increasing the total number
of certifi ed products to 114.
Since fiscal 2010, the Group has also been operating the Green
Factory Certifi cation System, its proprietary system for comprehensive-
ly evaluating the environmental activities of production sites. All
Company sites achieved Level 1 certifi cation under the system by fi s-
cal 2011, and eight sites reached Level 2 by fi scal 2013. We aim to
achieve Level 2 at all production sites by fi scal 2015 and are working
toward this goal.
In addition, Konica Minolta is promoting environmentally responsible
sales and services with its Green Marketing activities. By providing
products and services that meet customers’ environmental needs, we
are helping to reduce the environmental burden imposed by custom-
ers and society; by solving customers’ problems, we are promoting
environmental operations together. These initiatives are key to both
fulfi lling our corporate social responsibility and achieving corporate
growth.

Environmental Accounting

mental accounting in order to quantitatively assess the costs of envi-
ronmental preservation in business operations and the benets
obtained from those activities.

ing at the Hachioji site in Tokyo, which has various environmental fea-
tures such as a skylighted atrium and solar panels, aiming to create
an eco- and employee-friendly facility, as well as for the construction
of a new plant at the Kofu site for the world’s rst mass production of
plastic-substrate exible OLED lighting panels.
