Epson recognised for its sustainability efforts

Epson has secured a place on the corporate sustainability ‘A’ List by global environmental non-profit CDP for leadership in tackling climate change and protecting water security. CDP is an organisation that researches and evaluates corporations’ environmental disclosures, using a detailed and independent methodology.

Corporations are allocated a score from A to D, based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.

Epson is striving to achieve its Environmental Vision 2050, and as a result, the company will leverage its efficient, compact and precision technologies as it takes measures to reduce the environmental impact of its products and business operations throughout its value chain.

In October 2019, Epson indicated approval of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and believes its ‘A’ List recognition is a result of following the CDP requirements for TCFD disclosures. The CDP listing positions Epson as one of a small number of companies that achieved the double ‘A’, out of more than 5800 businesses that were scored based on data submitted through CDP’s questionnaires in 2020.
