Konica Minolta's reported carbon emissions

Konica Minolta, a computer and related services company based in Japan, reported a total of approximately 1.11 billion kg CO2e emissions in 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Of this total, Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 836.2 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services representing the largest contributor within this scope. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 148.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 122.6 million kg CO2e. The company has set ambitious climate commitments. Notably, Konica Minolta aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2050. To support this long-term goal, they have established near-term targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51% by fiscal year 2030, from a fiscal year 2018 baseline. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from key categories such as purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 30% within the same timeframe. Konica Minolta's climate targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming their alignment with a 1.5°C emissions pathway. The company also strives to achieve "Carbon Minus" status by fiscal year 2025, aiming for its contribution to reducing CO2 emissions outside its direct responsibility to exceed those within its responsibility.
