Environment

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard for the environmental management of companies and their related business and manufacturing sites. It recommends controls for those activities that have an effect on the environment. Businesses are judged by their use of natural resources, handling and treatment of waste and energy consumption, compliance with air/water quality standards, noise, and other criteria.
In Japan, every Konica Minolta Group business and manufacturing site is ISO 14001 certified. Overseas, most manufacturing sites are ISO 14001 certified, with two new plants currently working toward certification.
