National, March, 2021 – Epson, a world leader in digital imaging and printing solutions has renewed Environmental Vision 2050, a statement of the company’s environmental goals for 2050, to achieve sustainability and enrich communities. Epson will become carbon negative and underground resource1 free by 2050.
Epson was founded in 1942 in Suwa, a city located in the rich natural environment of Nagano, Japan. Harmonious co-existence with the communities in which it operates has always been a cornerstone of the company, and even as its operations have expanded globally, its culture of respect for the environment has never wavered, and it has always maintained ambitious environmental goals. Epson established Environmental Vision 2050 in 2008 and revised it in 2018 to realign it with a changed operating environment.
This latest revision was made as part of the Epson 25 Renewed corporate vision, which set “achieving sustainability and enriching communities” as the company’s aspirational goal. Specifically, Epson set goals that clearly show its commitment to tackling the major societal issues of decarbonization and resource recycling, and the company will proceed with concrete efforts to achieve them.
