Japanese group says it has delivered on renewables promise.

 

Epson has announced that all electricity used at Epson Group sites around the world is now sourced from renewable sources. 

 

Epson claims it is the first Japanese company to complete the transition to renewable electricity at all of its sites worldwide, including its home country. 

 

Epson expects to reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 400,000 tonnes.

 

Epson publicly committed to becoming carbon negative and underground resource-free in its Environmental Vision 2050. 

 

The use of renewable electricity is a key means by which Epson seeks to reach its goal of achieving decarbonisation. In line with this, Epson declared in 2021 that it would switch to 100 per cent renewable electricity to meet the electricity needs at all Epson sites. 

 

The global switch to renewable electricity, which excludes some sales sites and leased properties where the amount of electricity consumed cannot be determined, was completed on schedule in December 2023.

 

Epson Australia has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide as well as a warehouse in western Sydney.
