Epson is committed to a more sustainable future, and as part of this commitment, the company has transitioned to 100% renewable electricity across its global sites. This means all Epson products are now manufactured in factories powered by renewable energy sources. To achieve this, Epson has partnered with local energy providers to source renewable energy tailored to each region, reducing emissions and supporting local economies. Examples of these partnerships include geothermal power in the Philippines, hydroelectric power in Japan, and biomass co-firing power in Indonesia. This initiative demonstrates Epson's dedication to advancing renewable energy use and reducing its environmental impact through its manufacturing processes.
Epson is actively working towards its goal of becoming carbon-negative by 2050, with a strong focus on decarbonizing its logistics. The company is optimizing its product and packaging to fit more items into each container, while also pursuing more efficient maritime transport routes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, Epson is collaborating with logistics partners to use alternative fuels like biodiesel and methanol on specific shipping routes. These strategic efforts have already shown significant results, including improved container loading rates and a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring Epson's commitment to both engineering precision and sustainability.
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.
We at Epson believe our business activities have the power to solve societal issues. Drawing upon our strengths, we work with our partners to introduce activities rooted in each region to 5 accomplish SDG outcomes and contribute to social sustainability. For issues that cannot be fully addressed through our business activities alone, we give back through donations, volunteer assistance, and various social programs.
