Epson has been helping to solve societal issues through its products and services. Going forward, we at Epson will continue to work toward realizing a sustainable society and enhancing corporate value under our ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035 long-term vision. Together with our customers and partners, we will strive to create both social and economic value through co-creation, contributing to a more sustainable future.

In formulating the ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035 Long-Term Vision, we examined the social environment from various angles and recognized that companies are affected by significant changes, including decarbonization, tightening energy and resource constraints, the rapid advance of the AI and data society, worsening labor shortages, population growth and economic growth mainly in emerging countries, geopolitical risks, and tighter regulations. These changes bring new constraints and risks to corporate activities, while also presenting major opportunities for the transformation of social and industrial structures themselves.
In this environment, what is required of companies is management that balances solving societal issues with sustainable growth, not merely the pursuit of short-term profit. In ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035, we aim to contribute to the sustainable development of society and industry based on our technologies and philosophy of efficient, compact, and precise. Epson will create value originating in societal issues, evolve technology, and implement that value in society to achieve the simultaneous creation of social value and economic value. We will enhance our corporate value over the medium to long term by improving profitability and capital efficiency. Our environmental initiatives will balance solving customers’ issues with creating business opportunities by providing products and services that contribute to reducing environmental impacts through energy-saving and resource conservation technologies.
To sustainably realize value creation, it is essential that we strengthen not only the business itself but also the management foundation that supports it. Positioning human capital as one of our sources of value creation, Epson is working to develop a global organizational and human resources base, while also developing leadership talent that can envision and execute even in highly uncertain environments, strengthening engineering talent that connects technology to real-world implementation, and promoting diversity. Along with strengthening intellectual capital, we are advancing the sophistication of the management foundation that supports value creation through ESG (environmental, social, and governance) initiatives. Epson has also been advancing initiatives such as transitioning 100% of the electricity used across its global operations to renewable energy and addressing environmental and human rights issues across the supply chain, through activities including those of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). Toward the realization of ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035, the Group as a whole is advancing initiatives on key issues including promotion of decarbonization, utilization of renewable energy, strengthening of supply chain resilience, respect for human rights, compliance, and information security.
Based on this approach, Epson analyzes the risks and opportunities brought about by changes in the social environment and identifies its materialities as key issues for creating value through its business. Epson has also rebuilt its value creation process starting from our materialities and has set initiative themes and KPIs. In line with this review of our value creation process, we also reorganized KPIs related to our management foundation, a non-financial area, and improved KPIs related to human capital and intellectual capital with a stronger focus on linkage to and contribution to business growth. We will work to realize ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035 while continuously managing and improving the status of our creation of social value and economic value.

Epson will fulfill its social responsibilities through independent action and continuous improvement in accordance with its Principles of Corporate Behavior, based on its purpose, "Our philosophy of efficient, compact and precise innovation enriches lives and helps create a better world," its Management Philosophy, and the underlying spirit of "Sincerity and Effort" and "Creativity and Challenge" that the company has valued since its founding.
