Epson Advances Sustainability with 100% Renewable Electricity and Greener Logistics

Global technology company, Epson has reinforced its commitment to environmental innovation and corporate responsibility with the second phase of its “Our Actions” campaign.

The campaign highlights real progress in Epson’s sustainability journey, including its global transition to 100% renewable electricity and efforts to reduce the environmental impact of logistics operations.

In 2023, Epson became the first company in Japan’s manufacturing sector to power all global Group sites with renewable electricity, a key milestone in its goal of becoming carbon negative and resource-free by 2050.

This transition spans production facilities, offices, and research sites worldwide, underscoring Epson’s mission to cut emissions across its entire value chain.

Epson is extending its commitment to sustainability beyond energy efficiency, unveiling a series of green initiatives aimed at transforming its logistics operations.

The company has shifted to high-cube containers, boosting loading capacity by 14.3% and reducing the frequency of shipments. It has also piloted the use of alternative fuels, transporting 100 containers on vessels powered by biodiesel and green methanol—an effort that has cut emissions by around 220 tonnes.

In a further move to curb carbon output, Epson has introduced a new east-coast shipping route to North America, reducing overland transit emissions by an estimated 320 tonnes.

Additionally, the company has launched a solar-powered warehouse in Türkiye, incorporating sustainable packaging and freight innovations to advance its low-carbon supply chain strategy.

“At Epson, we do not believe in sustainability as a slogan. We see it as a daily responsibility. Our transition to renewable electricity and our decarbonisation efforts in logistics are just two examples of how we are acting on that responsibility. We are proud to share the progress we have made and reaffirm our vision for a more sustainable, equitable future.” Said Epson’s Regional Head for East and West Africa, Mukesh Bector.

Epson’s “Our Actions” campaign showcases the company’s philosophy of efficient, compact, and precise innovation. By embedding environmental responsibility into every aspect of its business, Epson continues to set benchmarks for positive impact—helping industries and communities transition to a low-carbon future.
