Paper use down, productivity up, planet saved
Arbour Week, celebrated in South Africa from the 1st to the 7th September each year, is a perfect time to reflect on Kyocera’s commitment to sustainability and the role we play in preserving our planet.
We have long believed in taking tangible steps to ensure a greener future, and our innovative solutions are designed to make a significant impact.
The less paper revolution
By leading the way in eco-friendly solutions, we continue to help organisations transition from paper-based processes to efficient, digital workflows. This not only enhances productivity, but also significantly reduces our collective environmental footprint.
Why this matters
Our ECM (Enterprise Content Management) solutions do more than streamline operations; they are a gateway to a sustainable business and a greener future. By eliminating paper waste, we contribute to the conservation of forests and the reduction of carbon emissions. Every digital document managed through our systems represents a step towards a healthier planet.
In the spirit of Arbour Week, let’s all take this opportunity to promote our paperless solutions and demonstrate Kyocera’s relentless pursuit of innovation, which is essential for sustainability. Our eco-friendly MFPs and printers, combined with our comprehensive ECM solutions, prioritise environmental stewardship and we are proud to offer tools that help our clients achieve their sustainability goals, while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
Honouring Arbour Week
Honouring Arbour Week is not ‘greenwashing’ for us, as we hold prestigious recognitions including being named a "Major Player" in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Sustainability Programs and Services Hardcopy 2023 Vendor Assessment. Kyocera is listed as one of the "Top 100 Global Innovators" by Clarivate, and we earned the prestigious 2024 WorldStar Award for our groundbreaking packaging advancements. This demonstrates how we consistently push the boundaries of what's possible.
We know that digitisation converts paper documents into digital files, making them accessible to more people across different devices, thereby speeding up work processes and avoiding the time and energy wasted in searching for documents. What we tend to forget is the positive impact this has on our environment. When we move from paper to digital, we create a greener path forward.
