In combination with the electricity bundled with the renewable energy certificate, which had already been introduced, the company attained 100% procurement of its electricity from renewable sources.
Regarding the MFP production sites in China, Konica Minolta Business Technologies (DONGGUAN) Co., Ltd. and Konica Minolta Business Technologies (WUXI) Co., Ltd. attained their goal of procuring 100% of the electricity they use from renewable sources in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
