CSR Management
Identify Material CSR Themes and Setting Goals
At Konica Minolta, Inc., the CSR, Corporate Communications &
Branding Division coordinates with the corporate planning and
management divisions within the Group to identify material themes
and set goals for CSR activities and monitor their progress and
outcomes.
By identifying material themes and setting priority goals for
CSR activities, Konica Minolta aims to address issues that are
most important to stakeholders by analyzing feedback obtained by
communicating with them in a variety of ways. In addition, it
considers international guidelines related to CSR, including the UN
Global Compact and ISO 26000. Further, it summarizes and
organizes risks and opportunities considered when formulating
business plans in each business field. Based on the results, the
Group selects the issues that are most material to society and that
have a great impact on business and identifies them as material
themes and sets priority goals.
