Community engagement at Kyocera Document Solutions France

Our friends at Kyocera Document Solutions France are dedicated to social responsibility and supporting their local community by engaging in social initiatives and partnering with organisations that make a difference.

From supporting the local workforce to championing inclusion in sports, Kyocera always strives to do what is best and encourage social and professional growth.

Integration and return to work

At Kyocera Document Solutions France, an initiative was rolled out that helped individuals in the community return to the workforce and integrate into teams at Kyocera. Following a few months of training, several individuals joined the Kyocera family on missions that corresponded to their skills.

France Judo: A collaboration based on shared values

To boost Kyocera's brand awareness in the French market, Kyocera Document Solutions has partnered with France Judo. This sports sponsorship provides an excellent opportunity for Kyocera in France to engage more deeply with the local community and expand its reach to a broader audience.

“The rapprochement with France Judo is also based on shared values,” says
Benjamin Claus, Marketing and Communication Director of KYOCERA Document Solutions France. “The values of the moral code of judo refer to the philosophy of Dr. Inamori, founder of the Kyocera Group, which is to  contribute, through our common efforts, to the progress of society and humanity.”

• 1,000 dojos by 2026: France Judo rehabilitates unused infrastructure and sets up public facilities in rural areas and priority neighbourhoods.
• Champions tour: Judo champions visit schools, hospitals, and retirement homes, to transmit the values of judo and help young judokas become the responsible citizens of tomorrow.
• Para Judo: Para judo adapts the practice of judo to people with disabilities (motor, sensory, physical, or psychological). This is a symbol of inclusion and adaptation in the Judo sphere.
• Awareness campaigns: With the support of the association "Pieds d'argile", France Judo is committed to fighting against all forms of violence and discrimination.
