Environmental Vision 2050

​

Epson’s vision is to become an indispensable company that uses its efficient, compact and precision technologies to achieve sustainability in a circular economy

Epson will become carbon negative and underground resource1 free by 2050 to achieve sustainability and enrich communities.

​

We are dedicated to offering businesses across Europe a clear ‘green choice’ in the products they use,” said Yoshiro Nagafusa, president of Epson Europe. “I hear from customers everyday about their need for technology that is better for the environment, cost effective and efficient. This is what Epson has delivered and the achievement, alongside the cumulative gains, lies with our business customers who have made the choice to switch from laser to inkjet technology.

​

In 2008, Epson established Environmental Vision 2050, a statement of our environmental goals out to the year 2050. The world has since changed. Global efforts to achieve social sustainability are accelerating, with the United Nations adopting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement charting a course toward decarbonization. In light of these changes, Epson revised the vision in 2018 and specified three actions that the company should take.

​

In March 2021, Epson further revised the vision, setting specific goals that reflect Epson's strong commitment to addressing major societal issues such as decarbonization and resource recycling.

Epson has established targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions until 2030 in line with the 1.5°C scenario of the Paris Agreement and the criteria of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
