    We are a carbon neutral company.

    There is no planet B. That's why KYOCERA Group UK is taking climate action today.

    At the heart of Kyocera founder Dr. Kazuo Inamori's philosophy is the motto, "Respect the Divine and Love People". Guided by this philosophy, we are taking action to offset our UK operation's carbon by working with partners to reforest our paper use and by funding carbon-reducing projects around the world. By carbon offsetting Scope 1+2 and certain Scope 3 GHG-emissions 2021/2022, we are proud to be carbon neutral.

    A snapshot of our progress

    Here's some highlights of what we've achieved by investing in the Earth as of March 2024.

    • MyClimate

      MyClimate

      In CY 2024, KDUK invested in MyClimate projects in Tanzania, Nigeria and Burundi that reduced or sequestered 15,245 tonnes of CO2, protected 1,808 hectares of forest (an area 250 x the size of Buckingham Palace), provided 404 cooking stoves saving 5,494 tonnes of wood, and helped conserve local wildlife, including giraffes, African elephants, zebra, buffalo, leopards and African lions.

    • PrintReleaf

      PrintReleaf

      We've planted around 24,000 trees through PrintReleaf, covering an area equivalent to over 10 rugby pitches We're growing native woodland which will sequester carbon and provide habitat for local wildlife.

    Kyocera & myclimate

    We are offsetting our CO2 footprint through three of myclimate's climate protection projects.

    What are we offsetting?

    Our calculation of KYOCERA Group UK's operational carbon emissions includes:

    • Direct (scope 1) emissions - gas central heating and fuel for company-owned vehicles
    • Electricity-related (scope 2) emissions - a calculation of the emissions generated by our electricity consumption, based on the UK energy grid's mix of energy sources
    • Certain indirect (scope 3) emissions - employees' work-related travel in their own vehicles which is expensed to our business
    Carbon neutral print devices & MPS

    Carbon neutral printers and managed print services

    By working with myclimate, Kyocera can carbon offset any new Kyocera printer, MFP or production printer sold in the UK. We can also offer these carbon neutral machines alongside a carbon neutral managed print service, maximising device uptime and minimising your costs whilst aligning with your sustainability strategy.

    Reforestation with PrintReleaf

    We are reforesting all of the paper used by our UK operations in partnership with PrintReleaf. As these trees grow, they'll provide new habitats for wildlife and absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Visit our PrintReleaf page to find out how many trees we have planted so far on behalf of ourselves and our customers.

    Bees

    A hive of eco-friendly activity!

    Bees are crucial pollinators for a wide variety of plants and are essential for our eco systems. Unfortunately, however, bees and other insects are in decline around the world. That's why Kyocera UK have taken the step of installing new bee hives on top of our Reading HQ! They're hard at work pollinating flowers in nearby parks and gardens, helping nature thrive alongside us.

    Putting the environment at the heart of innovation

    Kyocera's products are designed with sustainability in mind.

    It's a marathon, not a sprint

    Achieving carbon-neutral status is an important milestone for KYOCERA Group UK, but this isn't our final destination. We recognise that we need to reduce our emissions as well as offsetting them. What's more, atmospheric carbon and climate change is just part of the challenge facing us - we all need to reduce our consumption, recycle more and prevent plastic from getting into the environment.

    We've already taken some important steps forward. We've adopted fully recyclable packaging for our products, implemented ISO 14001 and introduced a hybrid working policy for our office staff, cutting down on commuting.
