Environmental Responsibility

Epson is committed to achieving co-existence between business and the global environment. A business is sustainable only when its economic development can co-exist with a healthy environment. Epson considers harmony with the natural environment to be a top priority and this belief forms the basis of our approach to environmental management.

Environmental Policy

The cornerstone of Epson’s environmental management practices are defined by its global Environmental Policy which was issued for the first time in October 1994. The current environmental policy is a revised version of our first policy and is dated June 1999:

Environmental Philosophy
Epson will integrate environmental considerations into its corporate activities and actively strive to meet high conservation standards in fulfilling its responsibilities as a good corporate citizen.

Major Activities:
The following activities will be pursued by the entire Epson Group in keeping with the Environmental Philosophy:

3. Recovering and recycling used products.

4. Sharing environmental information and contributing to regional and
international conservation efforts.

5. Continually improving the environmental management system.

European Environmental Policy

Epson established a European presence almost a quarter of a century ago and we remain committed to Europe with branch offices in every major European country. We created an Environmental policy for Europe by adapting Epson’s Global Environmental Policy to European expectations and needs. This policy forms the basis of the European multi-site environmental management system. To download the policy, please click here.
