Management
Environmental Management
As stated in its Management Philosophy, Epson is committed to respecting the global environment and anchors its business activities on this principle. Additionally, addressing the growing social and customer interest in low environmental impact, Epson aims to deliver customer value with its unique and innovative technologies that surprise and delight. Furthermore, to carry out environmental programs under uniform standards and goals in every country and region of the world, the basic environmental stance is set forth in Epson Principles of Corporate Behavior and in the Environmental Vision 2050.
Environmental Management System
Business units within the Epson Group establish their own environmental action plans based on the Epson 25 Renewed Corporate Vision, and carry out the activities using an Environmental Management System (EMS). We conduct internal audits to check performance against the plans and take corrective action against nonconformances.
We operate our EMS in compliance with the international ISO 14001 international standard, and we implement a planning and control cycle to effect continuous improvement. Epson's main global manufacturing, sales, and service sites are pursuing integrated business process and environmental management initiatives as required by ISO 14001 (2015), and are renewing their certifications.
All financially consolidated companies in the global Epson Group have environmental programs and, in the FY2023, environmental data was gathered from 64 of those companies (representing 99% of revenue).
Organizations for Implementing Environmental Strategies
To make achieving the environmental vision more feasible and enhance the resilience of our climate strategies, we created a Global Environmental Strategy Promotion Office to draft and carry out environmental strategy and subcommittees to address the various environmental issues.
