The company received an environmental award for its CSR report 2019.
Konica Minolta, Inc. has been selected as a winner of the Grand Prize for Environmental Report (Minister of the Environment Award) in the 23rd Environmental Communication Awards hosted jointly by the Ministry of the Environment and the Global Environmental Forum. This is the third time for the company to win the prize following the 19th and 20th Environmental Communication Awards.
Konica Minolta won the prize for the Konica Minolta CSR Report 2019 and the Konica Minolta Environmental Report 2019. These reports were highly evaluated for disclosing detailed information to various stakeholders.
The jury commented on the reports: “The two reports provide different types of information. While the CSR report sets medium-term targets, the environmental report indicates the results in each fiscal year. Notably, the environmental report describes the environmental policy and the Eco Vision 2050 (a long-term target) as well as initiatives based on such policy and vision. This is highly commendable. The explanation of the commitment to environmental issues in the manufacture and supply of products is excellent. Examples and feedback from relevant personnel are introduced. The report is specific and easy to understand.”
The jury added: “The environmental report reflects the company’s enthusiastic efforts to mitigate climate change through participation in RE100 and the Japan Climate Initiative. The concept of “Carbon Minus” is also pioneering in the era of climate crisis.”
