The Climate A List

The Climate A List is composed of companies that have been recognized as global leaders in terms of goals set and actions taken to combat climate change and disclosure of information. A survey was conducted on companies which operate in 130 countries and whose total assets are equivalent to two thirds of the global market capitalization. This fiscal year, companies that were highly evaluated for their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, mitigate climate change, and contribute to a low-carbon economy were selected for the Climate A List.

Aiming to Realize Net Zero CO2 Emissions by 2050

Konica Minolta remains committed to helping build a decarbonized society while achieving both business creation and growth. Its goal is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Scope 1, 2 and 3 by 2050 compared to FY2018 across the value chain in accordance with SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard. The near-term goal is to reduce the absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY 2030 by 51% and by 30% in Scope 3.
