Medium-Term Environmental Plan 2016
Eco Vision 2050
Konica Minolta has established the Medium-Term Environmental
Plan 2016, which is in step with our business plans as a further
measure towards achieving Eco Vision 2050. The Medium-Term
Environmental Plan 2016 lays out Three Green Activities—Green
Products (planning and development), Green Factories
(procurement and production), and Green Marketing (distribution,
sales and services, and collection and recycling) as key themes. In
the process of creating this plan, we classified environmental
factors concerning our business as either opportunities or risks,
and identified key issues concerning the environment. The plan
ultimately seeks to strengthen our business through the resolution
of environmental problems.
Furthermore, Konica Minolta practices highly-effective
environmental management as a commitment that extends from
our top executives to employees throughout the organization, an
achievement made possible by aligning targets for solving
environmental problems with KPIs for strengthening business,
namely enhancing brand appeal, improving sales and service
profitability, and cutting costs.
In order to grow sustainably into the future, a company must
reduce its environmental impact while achieving corporate growth.
Namely, it is essential to practice environmental management that
creates new value for society and the economy.
Under our management philosophy “The Creation of New
Value,” we put environmental management forward as a corporate
growth strategy, with a determination to achieve goals expressed in
Eco Vision 2050, our set of long-term environmental goals that
look forward to the year 2050.
