All-in-one IT
Our Workplace Hub offering reduces IT complexity, removes repetitive IT tasks, ends unwelcome distractions and optimises total IT spend.

Managed IT Services
IT departments today – especially in small and medium sized businesses – are faced with an ever-increasing task complexity. This leads to high costs and binds IT resources needed for innovation. By outsourcing all or parts of your IT infrastructure management we give you peace of mind - and more time and energy to focus on your business.
              
Information Management
Day by day, the amount of information is growing exponentially: Document files, e-mails, online materials, invoices and many more accumulates into a massive data volume. Unstructured information, often not classified, is stored in different places and the main problem is usually a missing consistent data infrastructure, creating time-consuming administration and unsecure processes. Optimise your information-relevant corporate processes by utilising Konica Minolta's suite of Managed Content Services (MCS).
              
Intelligent IP video solutions
Based on the collaboration between Konica Minolta and MOBOTIX, we provide next-generation network security solutions. Our joint product developments focus on solutions like monitoring processes at manufacturing facilities in order to drive workflow innovation, or new products such as “Care Support Solutions” that might be employed to monitor residents in nursing care homes.

Why strategic security is the only security            
Digitalisation has brought the companies of today a vast range of new benefits it would not have thought possible just a few decades ago. Digital measures have the power to increase a company’s productivity, reduce its costs, improve product and service quality, and more.
 
This across-the-board digitalisation is a double-edged sword, however. Companies are also being forced to secure their IT environment more than ever before, and the challenges involved are increasing every year due to the complexity and growing volume of systems and attack routes. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are being hit by cyber-attacks particularly hard, and more and more companies and organisations are falling victim to IT attacks. In the modern business world, it doesn’t matter if you’re a multinational or a small business: the question is no longer if you will be attacked, so much as when.
 
So is your company protecting itself effectively? To do this, you will need to take a strategic approach to your IT security. In the absence of such an approach, companies will lack the necessary transparency and reaction speed in the event of an attack, and be unprepared for an emergency. A strategic approach, on the other hand, means an effective increase in security with the appropriate measures.
 
Developing such precisely tailored strategies will not only create much-needed protection for your company, however; it will also cut your costs by ensuring the only solutions you use are those you actually need. So ask yourself: is your company truly prepared for the ongoing revolution – good and bad – we are all undergoing due to digitalisation?
If you would like to ensure your company is completely secure, then Konica Minolta is the partner for you. The company’s expertise and sheer breadth of experience means it can gain a unique overview of all the customer’s relevant activities (“360-degree solutions”). When defining the solution that’s right for you, our experts in printer device security, video security, IT security and data security will analyse your security requirements and work with you to design a concept for your total security.
Talk about what our security solutions can do for your business  
The four areas of security at Konica Minolta
“The more you can do with it, the more they can do to you.” In this era of increasingly complex IT structures and across-the-board digitalisation of your activities and data, companies of all shapes and sizes are becoming stronger and more efficient – but also far more vulnerable to cyber-attacks in the form of Trojans, browser modifiers, software bundlers and other malware, capable of entering our systems using a wide range of new and unheard-of routes.
 
A recent survey found that the average cost of a single malware attack on a company has now passed $2.4 million. Total spending by companies on information security has risen from $102 billion to $ 124 billion in the last two years alone, and looks set to continue soaring. So is your company at risk?
 
Unfortunately, the answer is probably a resounding “yes”. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of companies questioned in a recent study said they had over 1,000 stale sensitive files, 21% of files nowadays are not protected in any way whatsoever, and – shockingly – 41% of companies reported they had over 1,000 sensitive files (including credit card numbers and health records) completely unprotected.
 
But there is hope. Integrating adequate and tailormade measures to protect you organization effectively is easier than you might think.
 
As an innovative IT services provider and partner, Konica Minolta offers an all-round 360-degree security concept covering all relevant fields, from IT security and information security consulting, through to security for multifunctional printing systems and video surveillance. This means you get all your security solutions from a single source- from IT Security, Information Security Consulting, Printer Device Security to  Video security.
              
IT Security
IT environments are becoming more complex, borders are disappearing and the possibility of coming under attack is increasing. As it becomes clear that technology alone no longer provides an adequate level of protection, and interaction between people, processes and technology is becoming more necessary than ever, we work together with you to develop a strategic approach designed to give you added value, transparency, sustainability and amazing speed of response.         
information Security Consulting
The requirements of companies nowadays are becoming more demanding every year when measured in information security and data protection terms. The use of state-of-the-art IT security measures has also been incorporated into European laws, most notably the General Data Protection Regulation  or GDPR last year, and information security has become a major topic of concern for customers in all industries over the past decade. Konica Minolta is consulting clients all over the world with regards to Information Security related challenges.              
Printer Device Security
Today’s multifunctional printers (MFPs) can not “only” print, copy, fax and scan documents, but also save their users time and increase productivity enormously in a wide range of different ways. Increasingly, however, MFPs are becoming the focus of hacker attacks, which are increasing in number and becoming more sophisticated. These often involve the use of entry gates previously unknown by companies in their security concepts – such as MFPs. Thus, it is hugely important to take MFPs into account when viewing your company’s security strategy.
              
Video Security
Companies can use video security systems to achieve greater security in the workplace and premises, buildings, production areas and elsewhere. One practical feature of the latest generation of network cameras is that they can be connected directly to the company network, allowing the existing infrastructure to be used and the cameras to be controlled via remote access.
 
With its  huge experience in IT security and video security, Konica Minolta is the partner you need to design, implement and operate security solutions acceptable to you and your clients, and to implement an end-to-end video system that will protect your organisation reliably and comprehensively.

Patrick Stucke
 
Patrick, in 2008 you started at Konica Minolta Germany with a 3-year dual education program. Tell us something about this time.
 
The program is rather unique in Germany. It’s a mixture of practical work and theoretical studies. I worked for several departments, such as Finance & Controlling, Marketing, Purchase & General Administration and European Service, which ultimately was the field I wanted to specialize in. In 2011, I finished my studies with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration.
 
After completing your program, you joined the Konica Minolta satellite office in Malta.
 
Yes, I joined the Support Competence Center in Malta, which takes care of Service delivery towards Konica Minolta and Develop distributors in Central Asia, Middle East and Africa. The time in Malta was a true revelation. Being exposed to different cultural contexts makes it much easier to take an unbiased look at different issues and find a practical way of solving problems. I also had the chance to participate in different events and fairs, which gave me the possibility to be in direct contact with end customers and local indirect sales partners. This also helped me to improve my sensitivity towards customer’s needs and expectations. I moved back to Germany in 2012 and took over the Service Planning team in BEU’s Service & Support.
 
What is your main task right now?
 
Service planning deals primarily with strategy building for European Service, which is a collaborative effort with our national and Cluster Heads of Service. We also contribute key components of these strategies to cross-divisional projects. Service planning also supports in various other areas, from the design of new technical and business services to providing technical support and planning for major European exhibitions and implementing best practices in IT Service Management.
 
Additionally, I am now responsible for three teams that together make up our IT Service Support department. Here we handle the European support for BEU’s application portfolio, including Authentication & Accounting, Scan workflow and Enterprise Content Management solutions. We also develop custom software for our multi-functional printers. This part of my work is particularly interesting, as these IT services are at the heart of Konica Minolta’s business transformation.
 
What makes your job special?
 
There is hardly any “business as usual”. I would like to stress two main points: firstly, working on an international level, I am in close contact with colleagues, customers and suppliers from all over Europe, Japan and other regional headquarter like the US. This gives me the chance to constantly expand my experience and to learn and share best practices. Secondly, in Service & Support, I am surrounded by colleagues, with whom I work very closely and in a spirit of mutual trust and appreciation. This makes work a lot more fun and ensures success, even in the more challenging projects.
 
What makes KM your employer of choice?
 
Konica Minolta operates in a changing technology-driven business environment that constantly challenges me to adapt and learn new skills. At the same time, tasks are assigned with a high level of responsibility, which offers me flexibility to introduce and implement new ideas. I like these dynamics, and therefore Konica Minolta is the right place for me.
              
Konica Minolta does not stop at connecting its employees during their working day. We also engage in various cultural and sports activities that give you plenty of opportunities to pursue joint activities with your co-workers, have fun after hours, and release new energy. In addition, we offer specific propositions to help improve your work life balance.  
Bike2Work
 
Every summer, we run our own Bike2Work campaign in our Langenhagen Headquarter in order to encourage our employees to “be accountable” – to support the environment and do something for their own health by cycling to work! We support these activities with changing rooms and bicycle parking spaces for our employees.
              
B2Run
Sport brings people together and Konica Minolta wants to support that. This activity targets people that share one passion: running in a team. All Konica Minolta employees based in Langenhagen are invited annually to join the B2Run company race. Every year, we build up an energetic team that enjoys the sport and the team spirit!
              
International Community
Konica Minolta International Community focuses on building bridges between colleagues who take the opportunity to work abroad and those of you who live and work locally. By bringing locals and assignees together, we create a true International Community. Exchanging experiences, spending time together after work and jointly discovering the city all contribute to getting internationally connected – professionally and personally.
              
Family Support
We feel responsible for our employees: In cooperation with a professional partner, we offer you comprehensive consultancy and brokerage services concerning issues such as child minding and family care.
              
Children's Holiday Activities
Supporting employees at our Langenhagen location in their holiday planning, we offer to look after their children during the summer school holidays: While you continue working as usual, your kids can attend the Konica Minolta Kids Camp where they spend exciting days, for example re-enacting the Wild West as Cowboys and Red Indians, or training as little artists in the make-believe circus.
              
TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION PROGRAMME
Fostering our culture of innovation is a crucial success factor for our exciting transformation into an IT solution provider. Our employees are invited to take an active part in this change process e.g. by joining our “TIP”. Here employees from different countries and functional backgrounds come together in a 6-month programme to solve roughly defined business challenges using agile methodologies.
              
EUROPEAN MOBILITY
European Mobility is an imperative factor to strengthen our readiness for future challenges. Our mobility programmes MOVEFORWARD (long-term) and EXCHANGE (short-term) offer employees the opportunity to live and work in another European country, either for up to 12 months or for a period of 2 to 3 years.
              
We continually strive to support our employees with effective and needs-oriented trainings and education programmes. Our in-house Academy enables us to react promptly to new industry trends and market developments and create corresponding training measures at short notice. Beyond that, we regularly offer certification courses for employees with a sales or service background in order to best prepare them for the challenges of their job.

Developer Support Program
As a participant of Konica Minolta's Developer Support Program (DSP), you gain access to the latest documentation and communication specifications, tools and Software Development Kits that allow you to develop tailor-made software solutions.
 
Attractive for all independent software vendors: Customised MFP software tools enable you to provide clients with office imaging capabilities – which means added value for current customers, clear benefits for new prospects and increased sales for you.
Home Shared Translations Developer Support Program About Memberships
Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe provides three different levels for companies with skills in software development to participate in the Developer Support Program.
              
bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST) provides a seamless interface between Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs and software applications residing on PCs or servers.
The bEST toolbox contains various components, for example the latest Open APIs (applications programming interfaces), an embedded, web service-based, customisable user interface for the MFP control panel and a Software Development Kit (SDK).
 
bEST OpenAPI
Konica Minolta’s well-established web service based API (SOAP) facilitates creating feature-rich and powerful Authentication-, Scan- and PullPrint-applications.
 
On the DSP Portal you’ll find the bEST OpenAPI specifications, the OpenAPI Software Development Kit (SDK), OpenAPI sample applications (incl. well documented source code) and all information that is required to start successful OpenAPI development.
 
bEST IWS
IWS stands for Internal Web server; and bEST IWS is Konica Minoltas new bEST API technology that will be available in parallel to bEST OpenAPI from spring 2013. bEST IWS allows creating web applications on an internal MFP web server with direct access to MFP core functionalities, and to utilize the MFP Web Browser (see below) to display these web pages. With bEST IWS, it is for example possible to create customized MFP user interfaces, connector application to cloud services, and similar features.
 
MFP Web Browser
The MFP Web Browser facilitates creating bEST OpenAPI applications with a rich Web Browser (HTML) User Interface, but it is also possible to connect from this MFP Web Browser to standard web based Scan and PullPrint applications on external Web servers (these web based applications are utilizing standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and alike, but no OpenAPI).
 
MIB API
The Konica Minolta printers and MFPs support the Konica Minolta Enterprise MIB, as well as a broad range of Standard MIBs (such as MIB-II, Host Resource MIB, Printer MIB, Printer Port Monitor MIB, Job Monitoring MIB and others). For all printers / MFPs the Konica Minolta Developer Support Portal offers “MIB Implementation Specifications”, which explain the MIB implementation details for the specific products.
 
In addition, the Konica Minolta Enterprise MIB file in the ASN.1 notation, and a general definition of the Konica Minolta Enterprise MIB are available as resources for DSP Gold level members.
 
PDL specifications
The Konica Minolta DSP offers PJL, PCL and PostScript specifications for Konica Minolta printers and MFPs. These specifications are of special interest for controlling printers / MFPs from driverless host print applications, and similar applications.
              
bizhub Open Platform is a concept intended to make bizhub MFPs more accessible for both users and developers. It consists of three elements:
 
•             the bizhub Architecture, which seamlessly integrates all unit functions for greater efficiency, reliability and security
•             the Emperon Print System, which standardises print drivers to give users enhanced control over the output management
•             bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST), a toolbox that facilitates the integration of third-party software.

Global Personal Data Protection
Ahead of major changes in EU data privacy regulation, the Konica Minolta Group has announced its Global Personal Data Protection Policy to ensure it remains at the forefront of global best practice in this field.
 
The forward-thinking policy has been announced in advance of the introduction of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will be enforced from 25 May 2018. Described as the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years, GDPR will entail widespread changes for businesses – both EU-based and non-EU-based companies processing personal data from EU citizens – by significantly enhancing the rights and protection of individuals.

uropean Partner Programme
Enhance your competence and professionalism by partnering with Konica Minolta, a global corporation!
 
 
The Value of our Partners
It is important to us that our Partners maintain their own business identity. Each business is different and has its unique success factors that are unique to them. Whether a Partner has specialist expertise in a particular field, or their strength is breadth of knowledge and products, at Konica Minolta we welcome diversity and recognise that being different is one of the strengths of any business.
              
The Key Values of our Partner Programme are:
 
•             Transparency
•             Mutual partnership
•             Skills and technological expertise
•             Loyalty and commitment
•             Sales performance
 
Our Konica Minolta Partner Programme is straightforward, fair and transparent. Partners hold the key to our joint partnership level and its benefits by committing themselves to a set of requirements for each partnership level. A range of criteria rather than any single one will determine the Partner status. This allows Partners to carry on playing to their strength as a business, rather than moulding their business to suit us.
              
Corporate Values
Konica Minolta is a global brand and as a company we stand for:
 
•             Technical expertise
•             Powerful innovations
•             Ambitious sustainability
 
These are values we live and breathe, and also like to apply when working with our Partners and inspired us to establish our Partner Programme.
 
We are committed to supporting the growth of your business and developing a sustainable partnership with realistic targets and profitable benefits, such as bonus payments when targets have been met. All you have to do is to fulfil a set of requirements that are clearly outlined as part of this Programme.
 
To support you in improving your knowledge and knowhow you can take part in skills building programmes.
              
Partnership Levels
We are interested in our Partners and their business. Rather than determining the partnership level purely on the basis of turnover with us, we have defined a number of criteria that can improve Partner status. In other words, we are accommodating the Partners business model, rather than moulding theirs to suit ours.
 
The more criteria a Partner business fulfils, the higher your partnership level will be, and the more benefits a Partner will receive.
 
Konica Minolta´s Partner Programme is a win-win relationship. We´re committed in supporting Partner business to grow, so that we will grow together.
              
Benefits
When creating the Partner Programme, we tried to make sure to offer our Partners a number of benefits when joining the Partner Programme.
 
Clear and concise achievements and benefits
 
Common goals, mutually agreed at the beginning of each year by going through a joint business plan to support the growth of the Partner business.
 
Maximising business visibility by being on the Konica Minolta “where to buy” finder on our country websites. This means customers looking for Konica Minolta products on the website will be directed to your business.
 
Skills and knowledge growth: Our Partners can take advantage of Konica Minolta training courses, which depending on partnership level may be provided free.
 
Certification for proven skills and knowledge to offer state-of-the-art products and solutions from Konica Minolta.
              
Certifications
Many of our products and solutions do require special skills and knowledge and as a result need an increased commitment from our Partners.
 
To give end customers piece of mind in those areas we offer a number of certifications to those Partners who have acquired specialised knowledge in a certain specific field or product range. After going through additional training and fulfilling certain conditions that verify their expertise, Partners are able to advertise their certification on top of their partnership level through certificates.
 
Nominated contacts in each business will go through a series of training courses to gain all the knowledge and expertise they need to become a certified expert. Konica Minolta Partners who take part in our product certification process are eligible for an enhanced set of benefits, such as additional training and specialist support.
 
Please go to your local country website for detailed information which certifications are available to you locally.

Supply Chain Management
 
Working to establish a sustainable society in which human rights are respected
 
As a global company, Konica Minolta operates in 50 countries around the world. The procurement amount of the Group is over 520 billion yen.
 
Konica Minolta views all of the suppliers that supply and produce materials such as raw materials and parts or provide logistics and other services as indispensable partners in its business activities.
 
Konica Minolta is working with suppliers to build a trusting relationship through transparent and equitable transactions in order to achieve the shared goal of providing impressive products and services in a timely manner to customers all over the world.
 
Konica Minolta recognizes that there are workers all over the world who are forced to work with no consideration of their rights or who have to work in deplorable circumstances, and child and foreign (migrant) workers are particularly susceptible to these negative circumstances.
 
Konica Minolta promotes CSR initiatives throughout its supply chain,* helping to create sustainable societies that respect all human rights. The company believes that enterprises are not only responsible for their products, but also socially responsible to improve conditions of labour (human rights), ethics, the environment, safety and health, throughout the supply chain that delivers products to customers. Konica Minolta practices CSR procurement in order to realize these improvements at its manufacturing bases, and works closely with the suppliers who supply raw materials and parts for its products.
 
In order to fulfil social expectations such as respect for human rights, Konica Minolta not only works at its production sites but also cooperates with manufacturing and logistics suppliers. It also believes this improves the corporate value of both Konica Minolta and its suppliers. Further, this cooperation enables the customers to purchase the company’s products with peace of mind and to know that, by doing so, they are contributing to the development of a sustainable society. Konica Minolta recognizes that CSR procurement is more than just the social responsibility of a global company; it is also convinced that improving working conditions makes employee satisfaction higher and attrition rates lower. This in turn reduces business risk and raises quality throughout the supply chain. There are plenteous reasons for the proactive approach.
 
* Supply chain: The series of activities involved in delivering a product or service to a customer, ranging from procurement and production to distribution and sales.
              
Konica Minolta Procurement Policy
The Konica Minolta Group pursues customer satisfaction by creating innovative products and services that contribute to the development of society, according to our management philosophy, “The Creation of New Value.” In procurement activities, we establish firm partnerships with our suppliers based on fairness and transparency, and aim to build a sustainable society by fulfilling social responsibilities with our suppliers.
 
1.            OPEN
We will build transparent and reliable relationships with our suppliers and manage procurement in an open manner, while sharing objectives from a long-term and global perspective.
2.            FAIR
We will carry out transactions under the principle of free competition with rational evaluation criteria, and seek mutual benefit with suppliers.
3.            GLOBAL
We will have a global outlook and carry out procurement in the regions that best suit our operational needs.
4.            COMPLIANCE
We will comply with all relevant laws and regulations, corporate ethics, and internal policies and regulations.
5.            ECOLOGY
We will contribute to the international society and local communities by striving to take the lead in environmental protection, while reducing the impact of our operations on ecosystems.
 
Request to Suppliers
Based on strong partnerships with our suppliers, we ask our suppliers to focus on the following areas in order to increase customer satisfaction and fulfil social responsibilities.
 
1.            Excellent quality
Ensuring the safety of products and services, including compliance with the safety standards of each country and region, and improving quality to meet the demands of customers
2.            Reasonable prices
Pursuing prices with market competitiveness
3.            Response to changes in demand
Developing a stable supply system that can respond flexibly to changes in demand
4.            Compliance with laws, regulations, and corporate ethics
Complying with all laws and regulations of each country and region, and with corporate ethics
5.            Environmental protection
Undertaking environmentally conscious business activities and material procurement
6.            Respect for the human rights of workers
Respecting basic human rights, including the prohibition of child labour, forced labour, and discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, and any other grounds
7.            Health and safety
Providing safe and clean work environments
8.            Information security
Continuously improving information security
9.            Firm management foundation
Building a firm management foundation to ensure a continuous and stable supply of materials
              
Environmental Collaboration Aimed at Strengthening the Management of Chemical Substances Included in the Supply Chain
UN Global Compact
In 2009, Konica Minolta signed the Global Compact, which consists of 10 principles, related to human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption, advocated by the United Nations.
 
The Global Compact is a set of voluntary action principles for businesses proposed in 1999 by then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and officially established at the United Nations Headquarters in 2000. It is an initiative to achieve sustainable growth on a global scale by encouraging businesses to act as upstanding members of the international community by demonstrating responsible, creative leadership in solving various worldwide problems, including global warming, environmental problems, and economical stratification in society.
 
Konica Minolta participates in the Working Group on Supply Chains and the Working Group on Human Rights Due Diligence with the Global Compact Network Japan, and it makes use of these experiences in its CSR procurement initiatives.
              
EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition)
Konica Minolta joined the EICC* in October 2013, and has been acting as a member to strengthen its CSR activities in the supply chain.
The EICC, which is made up of more than 100 companies, including the world’s leading electronics manufacturers and their major suppliers, works to improve human rights, ethics, health, and safety in the supply chain.

Beware of Counterfeits
 
Beware of counterfeit Konica Minolta consumables
 
If the price is too good to be true, the product is probably not genuine!
Brand piracy is a serious problem for the manufacturers and users of quality branded products. In recent years the circulation of counterfeit products has reached such enormous dimensions that the world-wide economy is affected. Users of counterfeit products suffer because the fakes are usually not recognisable as such but can be expected to show a poor performance or even worse, in case of consumables might even damage the original-manufactured hardware. This in turn has a negative impact on the manufacturers, whose brand image can be seriously damaged.
 
The general public is more aware of brand piracy where luxury goods are concerned. It is not widely known that the IT industry is also seriously affected in particular with regard to consumables and accessories for hardware products.
 
Konica Minolta Europe is aware of the fact that counterfeit consumables for laser printers and multifunctional devices are circulating not only within Europe but also world-wide. We are committed to removing these illegal products from the market and will prosecute vigorously in the criminal and/or civil courts manufacturers and distributors who undermine the integrity of the Konica Minolta brand by their activities.
 
As users of Konica Minolta devices and their consumables please take note of the following details to determine that you have purchased genuine Konica Minolta consumables. Remember: if the price is too good to be true you are probably not buying genuine Konica Minolta! If you are not sure of your consumables’ origin, contact your Konica Minolta representative who will help you verify your purchase.

Fax Vulnerability in HP Printers
 
 
Konica Minolta Responds To MFP Fax Security Vulnerabilities
 
The vulnerability of multifunction printers (MFPs) to hacking attempts to gain complete control over the printer via the Fax line was made public in August by researchers from Check Point Solutions Technologies. The research conducted was specific to HP Inket All-In-One printers.
 
The results showed that an attacker could gain control over the printer by using a crafted JPEG color payload, and subsequently infiltrate network devices connected to the printer.
 
Though this research targeted HP devices, the resulting report mentioned that similar vulnerabilities could exist in products from other fax vendors since the research covers the fax communication protocols in general.
 
As an outcome of this research, Konica Minolta investigated the possibility of its MFP products having similar vulnerabilities and risks. Upon careful review and examination, we determined that the vast majority of Konica Minolta MFP products have no such vulnerabilities and risks.
 
However, the investigation did uncover that the following models are vulnerable to a different fax security issue – one that is strictly related to color faxing:
 
•             bizhub 4422/3622
•             bizhub 4020/3320
 
Remedy
Disabling the “Enable Color Fax Receive” feature on a bizhub 4422/3622 or bizhub 4020/3320 device will block the ability to exploit this vulnerability. In the unlikely situation that color fax reception is required on these monochrome print devices, there is a firmware update available. Please consult with your authorized Konica Minolta Service representative for further details.

Tomorrow in mind
 
At Konica Minolta, we are committed to sustainability through our innovations for business and society. We also support our customers as they strive to hit their sustainability targets. With our sustainability solutions, customers can achieve higher efficiency and lower costs, as well as shape a responsible digital workplace. Our approach focuses on four customer-centric sustainability topics:
              
Our Mission
The Creation of New Social and Economic Value. All our activities are based upon the Charter of Corporate Behavior. In this document, we explicitly commit to our responsibility not only to achieve growth, but also to meet our social responsibilities and contribute to broader society.
 
 
Konica Minolta's Corporate Philosophy is based on this Charter, and guides the company's Sustainability activities with its Mission, "The Creation of New Value". We use creative ideas to deliver tangible new value in order to resolve the challenges faced by customers and society as a whole. In its Philosophy, Konica Minolta aims to establish itself as a company that is vital to society by continuing to create new value that brings innovation to the world. While factoring in social, environmental and economic targets, therefore, our Sustainable Mission is "The Creation of New Value for a Sustainable World".
 
Sustainability Goals
We aim to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Since the environment is a core stakeholder topic, moreover, the Eco Vision 2050, first formulated in 2009, is our long-term plan for achieving a sustainable future. This is based upon our Philosophy, and consists of three major goals:
              
An 80% reduction in CO2 emissions throughout the product life cycle by 2050 compared to fiscal levels in 2005         
To promote recycling and efficient use of the Earth's limited resources;  
Policy
Based on our stakeholder dialogue and materiality analysis, the environment is a topic of central importance in Konica Minolta's activities. For this reason, we have defined a set of key environmental management principles, which are fixed in our European Environmental Policy. The Policy is in accordance with the Charter of Corporate Behavior and the Corporate Philosophy, including our Mission. These three items guide our sustainability activities, while the Policy includes the most concrete goals.
 
Compliance
As Konica Minolta understands it, 'compliance' is not just about obeying national and international laws, but also includes adherence to corporate ethics and internal corporate rules. The Konica Minolta Charter of Corporate Behaviour was created with this understanding in mind. It defines the principles that guide compliance for the entire Group, and is essential for Group governance.
 
The Konica Minolta Group Guidance articulates Konica Minolta's commitment to acting in compliance with international social norms such as the United Nations Global Compact, to which the company (Konica Minolta, Inc.) is a signatory, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
