PHILIPPINES, April 2021 - Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") has renewed Environmental Vision 2050, a statement of the company's environmental goals for 2050, to achieve sustainability and enrich communities. Epson will become carbon negative and underground resource[1] free by 2050.
Epson was founded
in 1942 in Suwa, a city located in the rich natural environment of Nagano,
Japan. Harmonious co-existence with the communities in which we operate has
always been a cornerstone of the company, and even as our operations have
expanded globally, our culture of respect for the environment has never
wavered, and we have always maintained ambitious environmental goals. Epson
established Environmental Vision 2050 in 2008 and revised it in 2018 to realign
it with a changing operating environment.
Specifically, we
set goals that clearly show our commitment to tackling the major societal
issues of decarbonization and resource recycling, and we will proceed with
concrete efforts to achieve them.
