Kyocera CSR Report 2007 Kyocera CSR Report 2007 CSR Report Kyocera Kyocera CSR Report KYOCERA Corporation —Economic, Social and Environmental Reports— 2007 About the cover design Kyocera was established in 1959 as a small suburban workshop where 28 young colleagues pursued big dreams. Our first product was a U-shaped ceramic insulator (known as a Kelcima) for use within early television picture tubes. Today, Kyocera is a highly diversified global enterprise. We pursue boundless dreams by accepting challenges that others timidly avoid. We believe that a strong will can make dreams come true, and that limitless effort can overcome any obstacle. These beliefs from Kyocera’s history remain the driving force behind our growth. We aim to become a creative company that grows continuously throughout the future. Kyocera Group employees around the world who have adopted this challenging spirit personify our path to growth. The illustration on the cover page of this report was designed in the likeness of the U-Shaped Kelcima. U-Shaped Kelcima To minimize environmental impact, the following practices were adopted in producing this report. Printing Method A waterless printing technique was used. Ink The report is printed with soy ink, free of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Paper The cover material is "thinning white" paper, which uses 70% domestic wood pulp, including 10% pulp derived from the thinning of forests. The inside pages are 100% high-quality recycled newspaper, with a 70% whiteness level.
