Our Commitment to the Environment
Konica Minolta’s Environmental strategy has been an integral part of its business for over 30 years. More than just being environmentally aware, we combine environmental sustainability into our operations and encourage the same of our partners and clients.
Our business machines are among the most environmentally efficient available. They are more energy efficient, use less toner, and produce less greenhouse gas emissions than ever before.
We are one of the first companies to be presented with the international “Blue Angel” award in recognition of our integrated commitment to environmentally sustainable business practices. Our Environmental strategy includes the following initiatives:
- Maintain our international accreditation for the ISO 14001 International Standard for the Environment.
- Contribute to and promote the Planet Ark recycling program for used toner cartridges, ‘Close The Loop’, save tonnes of landfill waste per year.
- Promote materials recycling, low noise, carbon monoxide emission and heat emission caused by our products.
- Further refine our manufacturing process, with zero waste targets. This ongoing strategy has already seen a dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas emission and hazardous chemicals usage in the past 6 years.
We will continue to devise ways to minimise the carbon footprint of our products and operations – as part of our commitment to a greener planet for our clients, staff and partners.
