The Netherlands-based firm has several initiatives in place to be more environmentally friendly, including the ‘Toner Take Back’ recycling program which has on average seen over 600,000 kg of empty toners collected and recycled across Europe.
Having obtained the ISO 14001 certification for the first time in 2007, the latest certification outlines that Kyocera has met the standards for an environmental management system that uses resources efficiently and reduces waste. The certification also gives companies a competitive advantage and further trust from stakeholders.
Kyocera has pledged to continue to demonstrate environmentally friendly practices in all of its business endeavours leading up to the 27th anniversary of Kyocera’s Environmental Charter in October. The firm specialises in document imaging and management as well as printers and wide format devices.
