Konica Minolta a market leader in multifunctional printers, has started using electric vehicles to deliver small appliances and accessories locally to customers in Delhi, Noida, Cochin, and Guwahati.
For a greener future, the company has switched to pollution-free 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers.
It now specializes in sending customers small appliances, accessories, and equipment weighing under 100 kilograms.
In order to serve the needs of its customers, it uses electric 2- and 3-wheelers in Delhi and Noida, as well as 2-wheelers in Cochin and Guwahati.
Expressing his thoughts on this initiative, Katsuhisa Asari, Managing Director, Konica Minolta India said, “Through this initiative, we aim to do our bit to reduce the impact on the environment and leave a greener presence. We at Konica Minolta believe that any opportunity you have to be green, be it in everyday life or business innovations, you should take it. Our customers have also reacted positively to our switch to eco-friendly transport. Their support has further helped us make the switch efficient and smooth.”
The Go-Green movement is a step towards sustainable, burgeoning growth. As opposed to conventional fuels, the EVs currently in use have low operating and maintenance costs because they are powered by rechargeable battery-based engines.
There are no toxic emissions from the vehicles that could endanger public health. The company has set long-term environmental goals to reduce carbon emissions by 60% by 2030 and 80% by 2050 under its Eco-Vision 2030 and Eco-Vision 2050, respectively, with the aim of constructing a sustainable tomorrow.
Konica Minolta also has a program to collect used MFPs and printers from customers and recycle them, following applicable laws.
Instead of manually crushing these discarded items entirely, the partner agency recycles and reuses them as raw materials after appropriate segregation.
