Konica Minolta has confirmed a new partnership with Cancer Research UK. Employees voted unanimously to support the charity and will participate in an extensive programme of fundraising, awareness and volunteering activities throughout the next 12 months.
As part of Konica Minolta’s broader ESG commitments, the company is dedicated to contributing positively to its own social impact and that of its customers and partners.
Konica Minolta has kick-started its programme of events with members of the senior management team joining other employees for a 20km walk around London landmarks, and another taking in the sights of the historic city of Chester. Next up is a sponsored bike ride that will depart from Konica Minolta’s CEC (Client Engagement Centre), in Houghton Regis. In addition to actively participating, employees will also be able to use their annual volunteering day to help out in their local communities, such as supporting Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, Shine Night Walk, Big Hike and Pretty Muddy events.
The partnership with Cancer Research UK is a key part of Konica Minolta’s social value strategy, which has previously included successful collaborations and partnerships both nationally and locally, driving social impact and ensuring as a business and a team of people, they support and engage the wider communities they live and work in.
