February 4, 2022 (press release) –

Konica Minolta, Inc. has been listed among the “2022 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World” (2022 Global 100). Konica Minolta’s inclusion on this prestigious list will mark the fifth time and the fourth year in a row, following 2011, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The Global 100 is announced annually by the Canada-based Corporate Knights at the meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), known as Davos Meeting. This year, however, as the Davos Conference was postponed to summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the outcome of Global 100 was announced ahead.
 
The 2022 Global 100 corporations that excel in sustainability were selected based on a rigorous assessment of 6,914 companies with more than US$1 billion in revenues around the globe based on an evaluation of environmental, social and governance indicators as well as the ability to promote diversity and innovation and the percentage of sales of eco-friendly products. Three Japanese companies are on this global list of corporations that excel in sustainability.
 
Konica Minolta is integrating the strengths developed in its businesses over the decades with the latest digital technologies to provide high value-added products and services, thereby helping to achieve the SDGs.
