KYOCERA is most definitely a winning brand! The multinational printer manufacturing company has proven this over and over again with their numerous awards. Most recently, the company received the iF Design Award for their innovative product designs in the German city of Hamburg.
Just last week – 24 April 2017, KYOCERA Document Solutions received yet another recognition for its eco-friendly product engineering culture over the years. It was awarded the "Sustainable Brand of the Year" at the German CSR Awards 2017 in the city of Hoofddorp, The Netherlands.
The award for Exemplary Cooperation with NGOs/NPOs was based on KYOCERA Document Solutions' long-standing relationship with "Deutsche Umwelthilfe" (DUH). DUH is a well-known NGO and is respected for its role in environmental and consumer protection issues in Germany. The relationship between KYOCERA Document Solutions and DUH dates back to three decades ago.
For KYOCERA, crowning this outstanding anniversary with the German CSR Award highlights a milestone achievement in CSR.
The company said on its official Web site: http://www.kyoceradocumentsolu...17/rls_20170424.html, that KYOCERA and DUH have been committed to the project "Living Rivers" for decades, supporting renaturation measures of rivers throughout Germany. Additionally, DUH was an expert advisor to KYOCERA for launching concepts such as PRINT GREEN and the KYOCERA Environmental award. - KDS Direct, a KYOCERA dealer and distributor in South Africa welcome the news as a wonderful achievement and recognition for the brand in the country in particular, and Africa in general.
