KMAUS_greenticks

Both Kyocera Mita Australia and Kyocera Mita New Zealand have achieved ISO 14001:2004 which is the international standard for environmental management systems. This highlights Kyocera’s commitment to considering the environmental consequences of all processes and business practices in Australia, New Zealand,and internationally. The achievement of this award demonstrates that Kyocera has a sustainable environmental management strategy.

ISO 14001:2004 certification is based on the international standards outlined by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). It specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS) to enable an organisation to develop an environmental policy, establish objectives which take in account legal requirements and other requirements to which the organisation subscribes and information about significant environmental aspects.

Through those identified environmental aspects, programmes and processes are established, implemented, maintained, and measured to:

  • achieve the policy commitments,
  • take action as needed to improve its performance and
  • demonstrate the conformity of the system to the requirements of ISO 14001.

In line with Kyocera’s corporate philosophy which centres on the environment and its long-term sustainability, Kyocera Mita Australia and Kyocera Mita New Zealand Environmental Management Systems relate to the environmental aspects and impacts of its business activities, and puts a focus ensuring Kyocera continues to act in a way which promotes recycling and reduces pollution and waste. There is a natural synergy between ISO 14001:2004 and our corporate philosophy. Kyocera's Corporate Global Environmental Policy and Objectives, Initiatives, and Achievements are published in the latest Kyocera Sustainability Report.

Our environmental management system ensures we now ‘dispose of less, recycle more’ and reduce the impact of business waste on the environment. This philosophy is also embraced in our product from design and development, through manufacturing and testing with minimal waste and cost, the biodegradable packaging and the final disposal of product. In addition to operating under strict, group-wide environmental preservation measures – including ozone layer protection, waste reduction, and energy and resource conservation – it is Kyocera’s policy to develop products that can actively alleviate existing environmental problems.

For all Kyocera end users we've successfully implemented the KyoCollect Recycling Program, and starting from July 2006, the Program has extended to include printers, copiers and MFD’s in addition to toner and consumables. This means that all print consumables, business printers, copiers, and MFD’s are collected and broken down so that no electronic waste goes to landfill. For a small fee, Kyocera will pick up printers, copiers and MFD’s from any metropolitan area and recycle this easily. It is all part of Kyocera’s commitment to environmental care.

In addition, Kyocera Mita Australia is a signatory to the National Packaging Covenant and Kyocera Mita New Zeland has joined the Packaging Accord.
