KYOCERA is most definitely a winning brand! The multinational printer manufacturing company has proven this over and over again with their numerous awards. Most recently, the company received the iF Design Award for their innovative product designs in the German city of Hamburg.
Last month, KYOCERA Document Solutions received yet another recognition for their eco-friendly product engineering culture over the years. They were awarded the “Sustainable Brand of the Year” at the German CSR Award’s 2017 in the city of Hoofddorp, The Netherlands.
The award for Exemplary Cooperation with NGOs/NPOs was based on KYOCERA Document Solutions’ long standing relationship with “Deutsche Umwelthilfe” (DUH). DUH is a well-known NGO and are respected for their role in environmental and consumer protection issues in Germany. The relationship between KYOCERA Document Solutions and DUH dates back to three decades ago.
For us, crowning this outstanding anniversary with the GERMAN CSR AWARD highlights a milestone achievement in CSR. – KYOCERA said on their official website.
KYOCERA and DUH have been committed to the project “Living Rivers” for decades, supporting renaturation measures of rivers throughout Germany. Additionally, DUH was an expert advisor to KYOCERA for launching concepts such as PRINT GREEN and the KYOCERA Environmental award.
KDS Direct, a KYOCERA dealer and distributor in South Africa welcome the news as a wonderful achievement and recognition for the brand in the country in particular, and Africa in general.
