The first and most significant milestone for the company amid its climate-focused endeavours was the launch of Kyocera’s ECOSYS technology in 1992. While other companies showed little interest in innovating, ECOSYS was introduced with the purpose of making printing devices eco-friendlier, without having to compromise on quality or cost savings.

The Kyocera Group is committed to environmental management and has always aimed for sustainable corporate development while striving to combine the goals of ecology and economy, hence the “ECO” in ECOSYS. The launch of the ECOSYS range essentially resulted in a much more sustainable way of printing, all the while enabling companies to cut back on their print costs.

Today, more environmental action is being demanded from societies and businesses than ever before, as climate change and global warming have become important issues worldwide. Businesses are seeking new ways to achieve increasingly ambitious sustainability goals and to prove their commitment to becoming greener and improving our societies day by day. These efforts aren’t overlooked by consumers, who support those companies that show a desire to help the environment over those that ignore or downplay the need to become more sustainable.

Kyocera believes a sustainable future is possible and will continue to develop innovative products that lead towards this overall goal. The Kyocera group is driving change in the print industry, but also believes in the responsibility of businesses around the world, in every industry in contributing to a brighter future. The company is proud to offer market-leading hardware and software that will enable businesses to operate more sustainably and take part in the global efforts to protect nature at all costs.
