Konica Minolta Mechatronics, which is a production site for digital printing systems in Japan, achieved this feat by getting its energy from renewable sources using non-fossil certificates with tracking at its four sites.
It also installed solar panels at its head office in 2021 which has since provided 13% of its electricity needs.

In recognition of such efforts, Konica Minolta’s net-zero targets were validated by the SBT initiative, an organisation to help attain the target of the Paris Agreement, in July 2024.
