Kyocera Document Solutions America Inc. has announced that it has been named a "Major Player" in sustainability by the International Data Corp. (IDC).

In its report, IDC assessed the sustainability programs and services of 11 document solutions and equipment vendors, including Kyocera. The company analyzed each vendor's corporate strategies, operations, products and solutions to identify its leaders.

"This IDC MarketScape recognition for sustainability is hugely important for our organization," said Óscar Sánchez, president and CEO, Kyocera Document Solutions America Inc. "Staying true to the values of our founder, Dr. Kazuo Inamori, across decades we have built a proud heritage of doing the right thing as a human being. Our ECOSYS range of energy-efficient printing devices, which dates back to 1992, is just one example of how we incorporate sustainability into our innovation."

As environmental concerns continue to mount, sustainability is a pressing issue in today's business landscape. In light of this, prospective clients can use the IDC's report to select business partners with a proven history of implementing sustainable business practices and document solutions.

The report assessed Kyocera's many years of environmentally friendly product design, in addition to how its enterprise content management (ECM) software, content services platform (CSP) and production printing solutions help businesses reduce their environmental impact.

Kyocera has spent more than 30 years working tirelessly to develop sustainable innovations that are equipped with long-life components, reducing the amount of technological waste that pollutes our environment.

Dedicated to sustainability long before it drew global attention, Kyocera also provides preventative maintenance through its fleet services, which reduce CO2 emissions caused by personnel traveling to repair machines.

Its document management systems, such as its ECM and CSP, also help to reduce the amount of paper used by companies and ensure lean printing and robust data security.

When it comes to the inkjet production printing space, Kyocera is striving to become a solutions partner that supports customers seeking a sustainable way to do business. One example of this is its water-based pigment inks, which are environmentally friendly and help businesses reduce their impact on the world around us.

As a customer-centric business that puts people and the planet first, Kyocera will continue to support its customers' goals to implement sustainable business practices by innovating and proposing document solutions that help them reduce their environmental impact.

"With more and more customers judging businesses based on environmental, social and governance factors, it's imperative for organizations to be sustainable," Sánchez said.
