Kyocera’s sustainability recognised with award and A-List Ranking
Kyocera has received two significant accolades recently, solidifying its leadership in sustainability and innovation. The company earned the prestigious 2024 WorldStar Award for its ground-breaking packaging advancements and was named a “Major Player” in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Sustainability Programs and Services Hardcopy 2023 Vendor Assessment.
WorldStar Award Recognises Packaging Innovation
Kyocera’s colour A4 printer packaging triumphed at the WorldStar Global Packaging Awards, the largest competition in the industry. This recognition underscores the company’s commitment to minimising waste and maximising product lifespans. This was achieved by replacing plastic foam cushioning with paper alternatives, significantly reducing damage upon impact and showcasing dedication to environmental protection. This dedication has also earned us recognition from CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) as an “A List 2023” company for environmental transparency and our efforts in combating climate change.
David Welters, Solutions Architect at Kyocera Document Solutions South Africa, says “Winning this award reflects our longstanding commitment to sustainability. We have prioritised environmental responsibility for decades and for us it is not only about contributing to a healthier planet, but also driving positive business outcomes for our customers. It’s part of our ethos and our identity as a company.”
