Konica Minolta

Konica Minolta, headquartered in Japan within the Computer and related services industry, has set ambitious climate targets and regularly discloses its carbon emissions.

For 2024, Konica Minolta reported total emissions of approximately 1.11 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 148.36 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 122.58 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of around 836.21 million kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 contributors were purchased goods and services (approximately 313.50 million kg CO2e), use of sold products (about 146.81 million kg CO2e), and capital goods (around 101.58 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, their total emissions were about 1.04 billion kg CO2e in 2023 and approximately 1.20 billion kg CO2e in 2022.

Konica Minolta is committed to significant emissions reductions. They have a near-term Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) validated target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51% by FY2030 from a FY2018 base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute 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 30% within the same timeframe.

Longer term, Konica Minolta has an overall net-zero target, committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by FY2050, with a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2050 from a FY2018 base year. These long-term targets are also validated by the SBTi as consistent with a 1.5°C pathway.

The company also has earlier targets, including a long-term goal from 2009 under their "Eco Vision 2050" to reduce CO2 emissions for the lifecycle of their products by 80% of fiscal 2005 levels by 2050. They additionally committed to achieve "Carbon Minus" status by 2030, meaning their contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in society will exceed their own emissions.
