Konica Minolta is committed to significant climate action, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by fiscal year 2050.

Their near-term targets include:

• A 51% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2030, compared to a fiscal year 2018 baseline.
• A 30% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by fiscal year 2030, also from a fiscal year 2018 baseline.

For long-term goals, Konica Minolta aims for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2050 from a fiscal year 2018 base year. The company also set an earlier goal to achieve "Carbon Minus" status by fiscal year 2025, where its contributions to reducing CO2 emissions in society exceed its own emissions.

Previously, Konica Minolta had set targets to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the product lifecycle by 60% by 2030 and 80% by 2050, compared to fiscal 2005 levels. Additionally, a short-term target aimed for a 50% cut by 2019 from fiscal 2005 levels for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. As of fiscal 2023, the company reported achieving a 63% reduction (750,000 tonnes) in CO2 emissions against 2005 levels, surpassing their 2025 target of a 61% reduction (800,000 tonnes).
