All of its own global production sites for MFPs and digital printing systems, excluding toner production sites procure renewable energy.
Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) announced that Konica Minolta Mechatronics Co., Ltd. (Konica Minolta Mechatronics), which is a production site for digital printing systems in Japan, has attained the goal of procuring 100% of the electricity it uses from renewable sources.
Consequently, all of the Konica Minolta Group’s own global production sites that manufacture MFPs and digital printing systems (excluding those of toner) have achieved the goal of procuring 100% of the electricity they use from renewable sources.
Konica Minolta Mechatronics manufactures digital printing systems, which are the main products of Konica Minolta. It continues to create opportunities for transforming production by realising “production DX,” which combines on-site capabilities, which are based on production technologies and skills refined in the production and assembly of imaging, optics, and precision parts, with digital solutions, including automation of production lines.
Konica Minolta Mechatronics installed a solar power generation system at its head office in 2021, which provides about 13% of the electricity required by the head office plant.
The Company attained the goal of procuring 100% of the electricity it uses from renewable sources by purchasing and applying non-fossil certificates with tracking at its four sites in total, including the head office plant, in FY2024.
