In addition to reducing its own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and using resources responsibly, Epson aims to create of environmental value products. By providing and promoting products and services with a lower environmental impact than conventional alternatives, Epson contributes to reducing the overall environmental footprint of society.

Avoided emissions is the difference between the GHG emissions that would have resulted from the introduction and use of environmental impact smaller products or services over their entire life cycle and the emissions that would have resulted if they had not been introduced. This is a quantitative indicator of the contribution of products or services to the reduction of GHG emissions in society. Epson aims to maximize the avoided emissions through products and services that contribute to the reduction of environmental impact. In addition, by visualizing (calculating and disclosing) avoided emissions, Epson will concretely demonstrate its environmental contribution, thereby achieving both business growth and avoided emissions expansion.
Epson's inkjet printers require less limited lifetime parts in addition to the low power consumption through Heat-Free Technology, which uses no heat to eject ink. By promoting the replacement of laser printers, thereby reducing the environmental impact associated with printing and contributing to the environmental impact reduction of society. To ensure that the information is fair to customers, the calculation logic was developed based on the guidelines published by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and confirmed by a third-party organization. avoided emissions by replacing laser printers with Epson A3 color inkjet printers in FY2024 will be 9,800 t-CO2e¹.

¹ Based on the calculation method confirmed by Mizuho Research & Technologies, Ltd., the value is obtained by multiplying the difference between the weighted average of the publicly available lifetime CO₂ emissions of major laser printers in the global market and the lifetime CO₂ emissions of Epson's A3 color inkjet printer by the number of Epson A3 color inkjet printers sold in a given fiscal year. The assumptions differ from those used in the FY2023 results disclosure due to a review of the calculation conditions.
