01732 759725 8 Konica Minolta selected for 2024 CDP Supplier Engagement Leader Konica Minolta has been selected for the 2024 CDP Supplier Engagement Leader in the Supplier Engagement Rating for the fifth consecutive year by CDP, an international not-for-profit organisation working to achieve a sustainable economy. Supplier Engagement Rating assesses how effectively companies are working with suppliers on climate change issues based on the companies’ responses to selected questions. The CDP recognition is the result of Konica Minolta’s proactive collaboration with its suppliers to support them with environmental technologies and expertise that help them to reduce their environmental impact, particularly their CO2 emissions and subsequently increase the use of renewable energy sources. Konica Minolta has developed this knowledge through its own environmental impact reduction activities at its production sites. The company has also been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series for 22 consecutive years and named to all of the six indexes adopted by Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) for the nineth consecutive year. These six indexes are the FTSE Blossom Japan Index, the FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index, the MSCI NIHONKABU ESG Select Leaders Index, the MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index, the S&P/JPX Carbon Efficient Index and the Morningstar Japan ex-REIT Gender Diversity Tilt Index. In addition, Konica Minolta has been included into the MSCI Selection Indexes, the world’s leading ESG index. www.konicaminolta.co.uk Canon recognised as print security leader Canon Europe has once again been recognised as an Industry Leader in Quocirca’s 2025 Print Security Landscape report, reinforcing its position through a continued focus on security as a strategic priority for customers.
