Konica Minolta has been awarded again a Gold Level Recognition Medal in the EcoVadis sustainability ratings for 2023, putting it amongst the top 5% of companies in its industry. This marks the eighth successive year that Konica Minolta has participated in the independent audit process and been awarded a high ranking. Konica Minolta was particularly praised for its environment initiatives (receiving an ‘outstanding’ score of 90%) and the report highlighted the company’s strengths in its policies, actions, and results in this field. Another highlight was EcoVadis’s score of 80% (‘Advanced’) for the company in ethics, which again reflects its robust policies, actions, and results in this field.
Olaf Jonas, general manager environmental social governance, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe, commented: ‘We are very proud to have again been recognised by EcoVadis’s independent assessment in recognition of our ongoing and unwavering commitment to environmental and corporate social responsibility. As the global community stands together to address the climate emergency, we are even more determined to ensure that our operations and those of our partners combat the threats to our environment and society. We constantly review and refine our business to enhance our environmental and social impact, supporting healthier and more considerate ways of living and positively shaping the world around us.’
As a global company with over 39,000 employees in 150 countries around the world, Konica Minolta takes its responsibility very seriously. It has been committed to sustainability for decades, starting with the foundation of a global environmental management department in 1971, and follows a stringent ESG framework to help it ensure its business operations remain actively committed to sustainability. In 2008, Konica Minolta Inc signed the UN Global Compact and is committed to comply with its 10 principles, and its precautionary and responsible approach towards the protection of human rights, the environment, labour issues, and anti corruption. The company is also aligned to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals, which represent a global plan for all nations to work together to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, protect our planet, and encourage growth and increased prosperity.
