Kyocera Mita and 10:10

Cutting carbon emissions by 10% in 2010


We're the first 10:10 Leader Company

At Kyocera Mita UK we’re big fans of keeping things simple, and we’re big fans of protecting our planet too, so when we heard about the 10:10 campaign it sounded like it was right up our street: A straightforward way of getting the UK to band together and take action on climate change – not by 2050, or even 2020, but by the end of this year. We’re proud to be 10:10’s first leader company and we’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

Kyocera and the environment
“Kyocera has been banging the ecological drum since Sting was knee-high to a South American grasshopper” said IT journalist Tim Danton back in 2002, but it’s not just our printers and copiers that have environmental benefits. Our parent company, Kyocera corporation, focuses on designing a wide range of products that offer more environmentally responsible solutions to problems such as “how can I run my car’s air-conditioning from solar power?” . In fact, Kyocera’s solar panels hold the world record for efficiency.


Our founder Dr. Kazuo Inamori is both a highly-respected business leader in his native Japan and an ordained Buddhist monk so, as you can imagine, he’s got some powerful ideas about how we operate as a business in the world. In fact our entire corporate philosophy, created by Dr Inamori, boils down to one guiding principle: “do the right thing”.

While Kyocera worldwide is involved in everything from solar power to artificial hip joints, in the UK we focus on printers, multifunction copiers, and management software for these machines. We launched our first ECOSYS printer back in 1992 – the year of the first Earth Summit in Rio - using a new type of print engine that cuts the waste associated with print cartridges by 90%*

Find out how the technology works here.

We’ve always been very straightforward about our products. They do what we say they’ll do, and we’ll back it up with the figures to prove it. We believe in transparency, particularly when it comes to the environment, which is why we think that 10:10 is the most important movement in the UK right now. We hope you’ll join us.
