Epson achieves EcoVadis Gold rating for Corporate Social Responsibility

Epson has been awarded a Gold rating for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by independent assessors EcoVadis, for the third year in succession. The top rating, which reflects Epson's commitment to achieving the highest possible international CSR standards, also acknowledges Epson as being “outstanding” in Sustainable Procurement and highlights its excellent achievement in labour and human rights and for its actions to preserve the environment.

The overall results show a five percent increase on the previous year with a significant score increase in Labour & Human Rights.

"Corporate Social Responsibility is at the heart of everything we do at Epson and this excellent achievement in CSR is as important and valuable to our business as financial success," says Minoru Usui, Global President, Epson.

"Epson's aim is to be an indispensable company, which means we must create unique, long term value by producing excellent products that exceed our customers' expectations, address societal needs and, importantly, sustain our environment. As a business we have aligned all our activities to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and we are committed, above all else, to creating a better and more sustainable future."
