Intuitively, there are broad goals that Konica Minolta Australia is aligned to. In an important first step, we have reflected on our 6 core values and addressed each through the lens of the SDGs: As the year progresses we will identify opportunities for alignment and engagement, while considering elements of the SDGs in planning and actions. Like Konica Minolta Australia, the SDGs will grow and evolve overtime. Engagement with the SDG agenda will further bring to life our company philosophy, the creation of new value. Konica Minolta Australia sees the SDGs as timely and unique opportunity to pursue our agenda of innovation and collaboration.

Businesses were an important stakeholder in designing the agenda and will similarly be crucial to the implementation and success in achieving the ambitious goals by 2030. That means the 17 goals and 169 targets are applicable to all countries and have global reach. The SDGs have been universally adopted by the UN General Assembly. Unlike its predecessors, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the SDGs call upon governments, businesses and civil society to foster productive public-private partnerships to tackle some of the world’s most urgent development needs. January 2016 marks the first month of a 15 year journey towards the United Nation’s (UN) newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
