SMALL STEPS, BIG IMPACT
Sustainable transformation at Mimaki Europe
Small Steps, Big Impact
At Mimaki, we believe sustainable transformation happens at every level. Through our every day choices and community initiatives, our teams are turning small actions into meaningful environmental and social impact.
Operations Excellence
Our commitment to sustainability starts at home. At our European headquarters, we’ve implemented sustainability measures that demonstrate how small changes add up to great impact:
- Transitioning to CO2-free electricity
- Replacing traditional lighting with LED systems
- Optimising heating and ventilation systems
- Converting our company fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles
- Implementing extensive recycling programs
These operational improvements have shown remarkable results: Our CO2 emissions dropped from 3,222 tons in FY2020 to 0 tons in FY2022 at our headquarters facilities.
Community Impact
Our social initiatives focus on creating a more inclusive and sustainable printing industry:
Girls Who Print
As proud sponsors of Girls Who Print, we’re helping transform the industry’s gender dynamics. Our General Marketing Manager EMEA, Danna Drion, became the first European ambassador for this important initiative.
Community Impact
Tiny Miracles Collaboration
Our partnership with Tiny Miracles exemplifies how business decisions can create social impact. This non-profit organisation, based in Mumbai and Amsterdam, works to achieve sustainable change for communities in India. By sourcing our marketing bags through them, we support local women’s employment and contribute to healthcare for vulnerable children, awareness programs, and community development.
Community Impact
Internship Program
Since relaunching our internship program in 2021, we’ve been actively nurturing the next generation of printing industry professionals. By recruiting at least two interns annually, we’re helping ensure the industry’s sustainable future while bringing fresh perspectives to our team.

Workplace Innovation
Our commitment to sustainability extends to creating an inclusive, forward-thinking workplace:
- Active recruitment of women and foreign nationals
- Expanding roles for people with disabilities and elderly workers
- Improving the ratio of women in management
- Implementing matched training systems
- Promoting work-life balance through flexible policies
Daily Choices
Even our smallest decisions reflect our commitment to sustainability:
- Activating an employee-driven “green team” to set and implement sustainable initiatives into the workplace
- Promoting bike-to-work initiatives
- Offering flexible work-from-home options
- Using reusable products throughout our offices
These initiatives, individually modest, combine to create great impact. Sustainability isn’t only about grand innovations – it’s about consistent, thoughtful action at every level of our organisation.
