Seiko Epson Corporation has earned its second successive platinum rating for sustainability from EcoVadis. The platinum rating, which was established in 2020, indicates that Epson was ranked among the top 1% of companies in the industry. Epson had received a gold rating the previous three years.
The platinum rating was awarded in recognition of Epson's global sustainability initiatives. In the four themes assessed by EcoVadis, Epson received high scores for the environment, sustainable procurement, labor and human rights, and ethics, putting it in the top 1% of companies in the industry.
“It's a tremendous honor to receive this Platinum rating for the second successive year. In addition to setting ambitious goals to achieve our Environmental Vision of becoming carbon negative and underground resource free by 2050, we are continuing to implement measures to ensure good governance and social responsibility across our supply chain, including acquiring RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) certification at some of our key manufacturing plants. Most of all, however, I believe this Platinum rating communicates that to our customers Epson is a company that can be trusted, is determined to achieve sustainability and will fulfill its responsibility as a good corporate citizen."
Fully focused on solving societal issues, Epson has identified four materialities including "achieving sustainability in a circular economy" and "advancing the frontiers of industry" and is committed to creating products and services that contribute to its goal of achieving sustainability and enriching communities.
The company is leveraging its efficient, compact and precision technologies to generate innovations in areas like inkjet printing that minimize environmental impacts and increase productivity.
