Sustainability Beyond the Ordinary

A better world for us all

We know it. Our products have a large ecological footprint. So we have an added responsibility to develop sustainable products and support sustainable processes.

That’s why we monitor our environmental performance very closely. And make improvements. As a result, customers recognize and reward our sustainability achievements.

Sustainability focus points

• Minimizing energy consumption per print
• Maximizing reuse of materials and minimizing landfill
• Reducing emissions of ozone, dust and toner
• Minimizing waste and unnecessary prints
• Increasing Océ’s attractiveness as an employer

Three reasons why Océ scores well

1. Océ products have innovative features that benefit the environment. Benefits like reduced paper wastage, low energy consumption and reuse of parts.
2. We focus on the well-being of users. That means low emissions, reduced noise and maximum user friendliness.
3. We deliver innovative solutions that not only benefit our customers’ business but sustainability as well.
