Epson has been placed on the A list for its achievements in tackling climate change and water security by CDP, the independent not-for-profit charity that runs the global environmental disclosure system.
Epson believes it was recognised for delivering on its range of carbon-reduction measures following the establishment of a task force on climate-related financial disclosures. Recent initiatives include implementing and completing a programme to transition to 100% renewable electricity at Epson Group sites around the globe.
Mr Nagafusa, President of Epson Europe, said: “Receiving a CDP ‘A’ in two of the categories – climate change and water security – sends a powerful message to our customers, business partners and investors. It shows how
Epson is deeply committed to achieving carbon negative in all its global operations. The latest CDP A rating provides further evidence that we are serious about tackling climate change and preparing our business for the future.”
Of over 23,000 companies that disclosed information through CDP, less than 2% made the A list. Epson was one of a small number of companies to receive an A in two categories,
an acknowledgment that it is a leader in sustainability. In addition to being an important statement to institutional investors making ESG investment decisions, Epson believes that this prestigious listing sends a powerful message to customers looking for products and services that reduce their environmental footprint, as well as to business partners and other stakeholders.
