Konica Minolta is committed to operating an effective Information Security Management System that will ensure information is protected from a loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Given this, our basic approach to information security is to continuously make improvements by measuring and assessing risks associated with important information assets and applying effective measures to mitigate those risks.

To support this, we have identified key information security principles; and to ensure these key principles are met, we have established a set of information security objectives as part of our Integrated Business Management System which are monitored and reviewed regularly.

This Policy covers Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd and all relevant subsidiaries, including all UK regional offices. It is applicable to all colleagues, visitors, suppliers, customers and contractors related to business activities, products or services.

Compliance with the Information Security Policy is mandatory. All Leaders are directly responsible for implementing this policy and ensuring colleagues’ compliance within their Business Units and Shared Functions.

Fighting climate change

As the need for data centres grows, so too do the resources required to manufacture, build, and run these facilities. Konica Minolta is committed to providing Cloud services that are as sustainable as possible and uses various data centre providers for its services to target this goal.
As an accredited Microsoft Cloud Solution Partner, we offer several Microsoft services which are hosted in Microsoft’s data centres - four of which are LEED Gold certified, with 74 other projects going through certification. By 2025, Microsoft expects to power its data centres with 100% new renewable energy generation that matches its electricity consumption on an annual basis. Microsoft has also pledged to put more water back into the environment than they consume as well as to produce zero waste for its direct operations by 2030.
Konica Minolta’s Cloud Print Solution Workplace Pure is hosted in the Open Telekom Cloud. With a 1.3 PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) rating it requires 30 percent less energy than comparable data centres. The data centre is powered 100% by electricity from renewable energy sources.
In addition, Konica Minolta operates two of its own data centres in Hanover, Germany, and Stockholm, Sweden. From here it offers Infrastructure as a Service, a virtual IT infrastructure environment including a virtual network, virtual storage, and virtual server resources for customers. Both data centres operate with 100% renewable energy and are ISO 14001 certified.
At Konica Minolta, we've committed to becoming net zero in Scope 1, 2 and 3 by 2050. To help achieve this, in the UK we have published our carbon reduction plan for the last 3 years and are documenting a clear roadmap of how we get there. All employees undertake our Environment Essentials online training course annually.

Covid-19 recovery

At Konica Minolta delivering social value is a key part of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy, which ensures that as a business and a team of people we are responsible to the wider communities we live and work in, as well as delivering our products and services to customers.
This commitment to people, places, and the environment is ingrained in Konica Minolta as a global business, but it is also vitally important at even the most local of levels. As well as supporting national causes, we have refocussed on a place-based approach to social value. This means understanding the most challenging issues and opportunities in the communities where our employees and customers are and collaborating with others to make the biggest impact and to support the recovery from Covid-19.
Since the pandemic, people’s needs have changed and as a business we have had to adapt to be more agile to support the needs of our employees, customers and suppliers. For example, our choice based working policy enables those with caring responsibilities to balance the requirements of life and work around the needs of our business.
Through our Social Impact Working Group we have established three charity partnerships across the UK to raise awareness and raise funds to support the vital work of our partners. This focus on local community partnerships has enabled us to ensure we are prioritising the needs of our local communities and supporting with the recovery.

Tackling economic inequality

Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to build a CV that showcases that an individual has that all important experience in the modern working world. Meanwhile, for the employer the rewards of running an apprenticeship programme are many. It provides access to a rich and diverse talent pool of motivated people that want to learn and progress. This has never been more important, especially in sectors where skills shortages are impeding productivity.
At Konica Minolta our nationwide apprenticeship programme has been developed to attract people from different walks and stages of life, to provide them with opportunities to flourish and provide a clear career path that retains them within the business, as part of an ongoing programme of progression.
The programme includes Early Careers Business Professional apprenticeships designed for school and college leavers to kickstart their careers, develop skills and make an impact. It is complemented by an initiative for existing employees to develop their skills further in a specific area, or to transition into another part of the business, as well as a scheme for fulfilling junior level vacancies.
As a Top Employer, we want to ensure we go above and beyond the governments National Minimum Wage, with focus on ensuring our employees receive at least the Real Living Wage and enabling access to all for purchasing our top wellbeing benefits.

Equal opportunity

At Konica Minolta, we have a commitment to promote a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and have clear targets to achieve this by 2030. Equality and true inclusivity will help drive diverse perspectives, skills and ideas, leading ultimately to a more sustainable business and contributing to a more equal society.
Our aspiration is to be an Employer of Choice where individuality is understood, valued, and celebrated. We meet the varied needs of our employees, taking an intersectional approach and embrace diverse thoughts and opinions. We aspire to be a Partner of Choice, an ethical business that does the right thing. We work with our customers, suppliers, and partners to set clear expectations, share best practice and to look at ways to support each other to drive progress forward.
Our policies, programmes and initiatives support the delivery of our 2030 targets. We seek to continuously push ourselves further, with accreditations and commitments such as the Race at Work Charter and being a Disability Confident Committed organisation.

Wellbeing

As a Top Employer in the UK, supporting people’s wellbeing has never been so important. Since the pandemic, our people’s needs have changed. People are far more conscious of their wellbeing now, than ever before. The lockdowns gave people little choice by way of going out and socialising, but it did give time to reflect and focus on what is important – our overall health.
Through our Breathe Employee Resource Group (ERG) we enable our people to own their own holistic wellbeing, and to provide them with the tools and resources to do just that. Under 3 strategic pillars – Mental, Physical and Social Wellbeing, the ERG run awareness campaigns and engagement initiatives on specific wellbeing topics such as nutrition, healthy eating, mental health and financial support. They have an active community which provides a platform for anyone in the organisation to get involved, connect with initiatives and access resources.
All people leaders in our organisation have participated in mental health awareness training. This course gives our leaders the tools to be able to support our people at a foundation level and helps them spot the signs of struggle earlier. It also educates them on how to signpost to further support, whether that be through our employee assistance programme, or external professionals. Our policies, programmes and initiatives support our employees and their wellbeing including our choice-based working policy which enables a better life balance for our employees.
We work with our customers, suppliers, and partners to set clear expectations, share best practice and to look at ways to support each other to drive progress forward.
