Konica Minolta Making An Impact In the Business Realm AND In the World of Sustainability


Konica Minolta was recognized for Arbor Day Foundation CSR

Konica Minolta’s winning Arbor Day Foundation activation was part of its exhibit during Labelexpo Americas 2022 last September in Chicago. This is where the company showcased its whole line of labeling printers – including the U.S. market’s first look at the company’s new AccurioLabel 400 five-color digital label Press. With the environment and sustainability being a huge topic of conversation professional printing companies are more environmentally conscious than ever. Printer companies are being more resourceful as ever as a result, finding ways to produce printed products that are not impactful to the environment. Konica Minolta has believed in sustainability and the necessity for companies to create positive change, long before most corporate world considered the need for action. This is what created “The Creation of New Value” Konica Minolta corporate global philosophy on the quality of our world.

Konica Minolta sought to leverage this opportunity to drive awareness for its own, long-term environmental action plan. “Konica Minolta has a long-time environmental action plan that includes achieving carbon minus status by 2030 and reducing CO2 emissions throughout the product lifecycle by 80 percent by 2050,” said Stacey Sujeebun, Director, Corporate Marketing and Brand Communications, Konica Minolta. “As part of this mission, the company has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation for the last two years to plant more than 20,000 trees in an effort to revitalize U.S. national forests. LabelExpo was the perfect opportunity to share the pride we have in this program with our current and potential customers, dealers, press and analysts.”

At the 2023 social impact awards Konica Minolta received an Honorable Mention as part of PR Newsline 2023 Social Impact Awards. The company’s marketing team developed an activation to plant a tree for every booth visitor as a fun way to engage attendees. The company even took it one step further and let the attendees write their names or company on “leafs” later printed on Konica Minolta label printing press. The company collected nearly 300 “leaves” and planted that many trees- bringing the total number of trees planted during 2022 to 10,500.
