ACTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL VISION:EPSON MANUFACTURING SUPPORTED BY 100% RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY

Building a Sustainable Society Together with Partners

Epson achieved 100% renewable electricity transition at all group sites worldwide. Now, having taken this step, we have begun working to find "partners" who share our commitment to realizing a sustainable society. This is because reducing GHG emissions is an issue that must be addressed across the entire value chain.

Because GHG emissions that occur elsewhere in the value chain but for which the company bears indirect responsibility (Scope 3⁷) are far greater than the GHG emissions for which the company is directly responsible (Scope 1⁴) or those associated with our electricity consumption (Scope 2⁵), and achieving carbon negativity by our own efforts is not enough, so the cooperation of our suppliers is necessary.

At Epson, we want to use our own experience to support the decarbonization efforts of our suppliers. By increasing the number of partners who share our vision and working together with them, we believe we can open up possibilities for "realizing a sustainable society," and we will continue to move forward on this path.
