Our commitment to achieving Epson's Purpose

At Epson, we constantly have our eyes set on societal issues. We continue to ask ourselves what we can do to help resolve the issues through our corporate initiatives.

Social Values that Epson Provides

Efficient Precise Compact

We believe that making things more efficient, compact, and precise can lead to greater social value.

Since Epson’s founding, we have continued to challenge ourselves to provide products and services that exceed customer expectations through our efficient, compact, and precise innovation.

Bigger isn’t always better, and more doesn’t always make one richer. What Epson sees as true richness is not just one’s material or financial wealth, but the wealth in one’s mind and lifestyle, enrichment of the heart.

We believe that the essence of sustainability is in the pursuit of enriching lives for all people, including our future generations.

Striving to become underground resource free

Striving to become underground resource free1

The world must shift from a linear "take-make-dispose" economy to a sustainable, circular economy. As a manufacturer of a wide range of products, we've taken it upon ourselves to become underground resource free by 2050. To achieve this goal, we will reduce total resource inputs, eliminate waste, and increase the use of recycled materials in products to 100%. In our eyes, this objective is our obligation.

The global Epson group has committed to transitioning to 100% renewable energy in 2023 - a big challenge for a manufacturer

The global Epson group2 has committed to transitioning to 100% renewable energy in 2023 - a big challenge for a manufacturer

Epson was founded near Lake Suwa, in a region blessed with an abundance of nature. We want to contribute to decarbonization and preserve the environment for future generations. As part of this effort, we transitioned to 100% renewable electricity (530 GWh/year) at all our domestic sites2, becoming the first company in the Japanese manufacturing industry3 to do so. The transition will reduce Epson's annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 250,000 tonnes. In addition, we declared that we will transition to 100% renewable energy to meet the electricity needs at all Epson Group sites3 worldwide in 2023. This is a bold declaration for any company in the manufacturing industry that uses a large amount of electricity.

What used to be disposed of as garbage is now upcycled into a fine material

What used to be disposed of as garbage is now upcycled into a fine material

Have you ever heard of the term "upcycling"? At Epson, we not only recycle used paper to make new paper, but we also implement an upcycling process to add value beyond recycling. For example, the large piles of paper discarded from offices every day are upcycled into ink absorbents for printers, sound absorbents, and even cushioning materials for packaging in addition to new paper. What is generally thrown away as trash is a great resource for Epson.

Responsibility to the environment as a manufacturer

The effects of global warming on the environment, such as climate change and desertification, are now becoming more serious on the planet. Against this backdrop, Epson has been seriously considering what we can do as a manufacturer and has been confronting environmental issues. One such initiative is to reduce the power consumption of printers by utilizing inkjet technology in our printer business, which is one of the pillars of our businesses.
