Discover Epson’s Sustainability Report 2020-2021
Epson’s commitment to sustainability runs through everything they do: Epson’s technology, operations, people, supply chain, and organisational structure are all focused on reducing environmental impact with clear unambiguous targets aligned to each of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Japanese multinational electronics company has made major commitments in 2021:
The company has pledged to reduce its total emissions in line with the 1.5℃ scenario by 2030 and has announced it will become carbon negative and underground resource-free by 2050. Epson has set aside 100 billion Yen (770 million euros) to achieve this aim over the next ten years with a focus on decarbonisation, resource recycling, and an accelerated partnership programme to develop innovative environmental technologies.
The new Environmental Vision 2050 sets out its target to reduce direct emissions by 19% (scopes 1 and 2) and indirect emissions (scope 3) by 44% before the end of 2025. It is estimated that these efforts will enable Epson to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain by more than two million tonnes.
Epson committed to achieving 100% renewable electricity across the entire Epson Group by 2023 and joined the RE100, a global initiative of like-minded businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity.
The company also launched Epson 25 Renewed: a new corporate roadmap to drive the company towards its goals of achieving sustainability and enriching the communities we serve.
“Epson believes the world desires more than just material and economic wealth. People also want other, less tangible forms of wealth. They want to be enriched spiritually and culturally. Sustainability is a fundamental requirement for achieving this and so we are now making our technology more openly accessible and – through wider collaboration and partnerships – we will work together to make a better society. There is always more we can do.” Yoshiro Nagafusa, President and CEO, Epson EMEAR
