Transitioning to sustainability

Kyocera was proud to sponsor a report by Economist Impact called "Transitioning to sustainability: employee perspectives on workplace practices".

The study explores employee views on workplace sustainability in five global financial hubs: London, New York, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo. Based on a survey of 630 professionals conducted in late 2024, alongside expert interviews and literature reviews, the report examines how junior employees and senior executives perceive and contribute to sustainability efforts.

The survey focused on three key areas of workplace sustainability:

• Talent strategy – How recruitment, leadership, diversity, training, and employee activism support sustainability.
• Operations – Reducing environmental impact through energy efficiency, waste reduction, technology integration, and remote work.
• Business performance accountability – Integrating sustainability into performance management and reporting, and fostering transparency with like-minded partners and suppliers.
