The showroom will be offered on a pro-bono basis and will permanently showcase Kyocera’s products and displays explaining the company’s philosophy, vision and global strategy.
The OEM says that the centre makes the most of natural light, re-uses existing materials wherever possible and uses sustainably sourced furnishings and fixtures.
It was opened by Minister Kusaka, Consul-General of the Embassy of Japan, alongside John Madejski OBE of Reading Football Club and Koji Nakamura, President of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Kyocera’s UK Managing Director said: “This new London facility puts Kyocera firmly at the centre of the sustainability movement and ensures that we can introduce London-based decision makers to Kyocera products without asking them to incur the transport impact of travelling to another location.
“We have taken space in an existing building and converted it using low-carbon materials and technologies, to ensure that our own environmental impact is minimised. We want to demonstrate that sustainability is good for business and that by paying attention to the environmental impact of office activities organisations can reduce both their carbon emissions and their costs.”
Yesterday, it was announced that Kyocera won Company of the Year at the Green IT awards. Click here to read our coverage.
