Konica Minolta Recognised As A Global Leader In Climate Action

Konica Minolta, Inc. has been selected for the Climate A List in the FY2025 survey by CDP, marking the ninth time the company has achieved the highest assessment from this leading global environmental disclosure organisation. This recognition highlights Konica Minolta’s long-standing commitment to climate action, transparency and sustainability leadership.

As a Two Sides member, Konica Minolta’s continued success in international sustainability evaluations highlights the positive role that responsible technology and print-related companies can play in driving climate progress.

What The CDP Climate A List Signifies

The CDP Climate A List comprises companies recognised as global leaders for the goals they set and the actions they take to combat climate change, as well as for the quality of their environmental disclosure. The evaluation draws on data from more than 24,800 companies worldwide, representing a significant portion of global market capitalisation, and is widely referenced by investors and procurement professionals.

Earning a place on this list for the ninth time reflects Konica Minolta’s sustained performance and systematic approach to reducing climate impact and improving reporting transparency.

Aiming for Net-Zero Emissions By 2050

Konica Minolta continues to align its long-term strategy with global climate goals. The company is working toward net-zero CO₂ emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) across the entire product lifecycle by 2050, while addressing key material issues such as climate change and resource efficiency.

To support these ambitions, the company is strengthening its technologies and operational practices by:

• Leveraging advanced technologies, including AI to improve energy use and workflow efficiency
• Integrating sustainable approaches across business areas
• Reducing emissions throughout its supply chain through process reforms and engagement efforts

Konica Minolta also remains focused on contributing to a decarbonised society, while balancing business growth and innovation.

Leadership Recognised Across ESG Evaluations

In addition to CDP’s Climate A List distinction, Konica Minolta has earned strong placements in other environmental, social and governance (ESG) assessments, reflecting a broad commitment to sustainability performance:

• Supplier Engagement Leader certification from CDP (July 2025)
• AA rating from MSCI ESG Ratings (February 2025)
• Inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook (top 10% of industry) for the fourteenth consecutive year
• Long-standing membership in the FTSE4Good Index Series and other major ESG indices

Why This Matters For The Print And Paper Sector

Konica Minolta’s CDP Climate A List achievement highlights how sustained climate strategies and transparent reporting can generate industry-leading results. For the global print and paper value chain, this reinforces the message that responsible business practices, including ambitious emissions targets, robust disclosure and continuous performance improvements, are essential to building trust with customers, investors and partners.

Through collaboration with organisations like Two Sides, companies across the sector can amplify their sustainability impact and help dispel misconceptions about the environmental credentials of print, paper and associated technologies.
