Global technology company, Epson has reinforced its commitment to environmental innovation and corporate responsibility with the second phase of its “Our Actions” campaign.
The campaign highlights real progress in Epson’s sustainability journey, including its global transition to 100% renewable electricity and efforts to reduce the environmental impact of logistics operations.
In 2023, Epson became the first company in Japan’s manufacturing sector to power all global Group sites with renewable electricity, a key milestone in its goal of becoming carbon negative and resource-free by 2050. This transition spans production facilities, offices, and research sites worldwide, underscoring Epson’s mission to cut emissions across its entire value chain.
Beyond renewable energy, Epson is also transforming its logistics to support decarbonisation. The company has increased loading capacity by adopting high-cube containers, reducing shipment frequency and overall emissions. It has piloted alternative-fuel shipping, transporting 100 containers on vessels powered by biodiesel and green methanol, which helped cut emissions by about 220 tonnes. A newly introduced East Coast shipping route to North America has further lowered overland transit emissions by an estimated 320 tonnes. In addition, Epson has opened a solar-powered warehouse in Türkiye, featuring sustainable packaging and freight innovations to drive down its supply chain footprint.
“At Epson, we do not believe in sustainability as a slogan. We see it as a daily responsibility. Our transition to renewable electricity and our decarbonisation efforts in logistics are just two examples of how we are acting on that responsibility. We are proud to share the progress we have made and reaffirm our vision for a more sustainable, equitable future.” Said Epson’s Regional Head for East and West Africa, Mukesh Bector.
Epson’s “Our Actions” campaign showcases the company’s philosophy of efficient, compact, and precise innovation. By embedding environmental responsibility into every aspect of its business, Epson continues to set benchmarks for positive impact—helping industries and communities transition to a low-carbon future.
