China Plant

Ever since we began producing MFPs (multifunctional products) and printers in 2001, the China Plant has been doing its best to make quality products that are trusted and chosen by customers while making conscious efforts to improve its operations, all with the aim of achieving the Kyocera Group's objective to make Kyocera the No. 1 company that is looked up to by people around the world. All of us at the China Plant work every day with the Kyocera Group's management rationale in mind, that is, "to provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint efforts, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind," which we believe will lead to creating a sustainable world. We also believe that promoting prosperity in our entire supply chain is a must in order to realize this management rationale, so we are working together with our suppliers to address human rights, environmental conservation, occupational safety and health, and compliance throughout our operations. As a member of the Kyocera Group, we not only comply with domestic laws and regulations but also with international standards, such as the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ILO (International Labor Organization) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. As part of our environmental initiatives, we are replacing conventional equipment with the latest energy efficient models to save energy. Aiming to minimize our environmental footprint, we also set more demanding targets for limiting effluent and exhaust air released from our plant than required by local standards to keep water and air cleaner. When it comes to reducing waste, each and every employee makes a conscious effort to reuse and recycle with the aim of making our operations waste-free throughout the plant. On top of that, wastewater from the production process is treated and reused to replenish the water supplied to the plant's production facilities.
