Konica Minolta, Inc. has announced that it is in the top 5% of companies rated by EcoVadis in all industries. The company has received a Gold Medal – its ninth in succession – in recognition of its sustainability achievement, placing it in the top of companies assessed by EcoVadis over the past 12 months.
EcoVadis provides a solution for monitoring sustainability in global supply chains. By reliably assessing sustainability performance, EcoVadis provides comprehensive feedback, benchmarking and tools that enable companies to embark upon a journey of continuous improvement.
The EcoVadis rating process assesses corporate social responsibility in four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Konica Minolta’s EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment Report states that: “The company demonstrates an advanced sustainability management system that covers all four themes under review.”
Olaf Jonas, general manager environmental social governance, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe, said: “Receiving a medal from EcoVadis for nine consecutive years is testament to our company-wide global commitment to make a positive environmental and social impact, through our own company initiatives and frameworks as well as supporting the goals of international programmes.”
Tackling global environmental challenges, helping society to evolve and grow, and being a good corporate citizen are the cornerstones of Konica Minolta’s environmental, social and governance policies, which are guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
