KEY CSR THEMES & SDGs

Epson's initiatives related to the SDGs

There are many global issues that must be resolved in order to ensure the continued sustainability of society. These include things such as environmental challenges such as climate change and the depletion of finite resources. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed by the international community to realize a better, more sustainable world by 2030. Companies and other organizations have taken up the challenge and are actively working toward their achievement. Epson endorses SDGs and has been contributing to them through both its business operations and social contribution initiatives.

Nagano Prefecture, home to Seiko Epson's Head Office, has launched some of the most progressive SDG initiatives in Japan. One such initiative is an SDG partner registration system. The prefecture works with business groups, financial institutions, universities, and other supporting organizations in environmental, social, and economic areas to increase the value and competitiveness of local companies and to promote action against the SDGs among them.

Nagano Prefecture has been promoting the SDGs since 2018. The prefecture has asked local businesses to become SDG partners by committing to SDG actions. There are two requirements for becoming a partner. The first is to declare management policies and actions to achieve the SDGs. The second is to submit information about specific actions being taken in each of 42 items mapped to the 17 SDGs and 169 targets.

Innovation at Epson is guided by our corporate purpose: “Our philosophy of efficient, compact and precise innovation enriches lives and helps create a better world.” We want to play a part in creating a better world by working with our customers to address societal issues, including environmental problems, through innovative technologies and global co-creation. This commitment is aligned with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. To this end, the entire Epson Group is committed to acting with integrity and embracing a spirit of creativity and challenge to deliver surprise and delight that exceed the expectations of our customers and partners. Through these actions, we will contribute to the realization of sustainable development.
