Epson on CDP A List for Water Security

Epson has announced that it has been selected as an A List company, the highest possible rating, in the Water Security category of the CDP assessment conducted by the international non-profit organisation CDP. In addition, it received an A- rating in the Climate Change category.

The company says the ratings reflect CDP's recognition of its leadership in addressing water security and climate change, as well as the transparency of its related disclosures.CDP represents more than 640 institutional investors with combined assets of over USD 127 trillion worldwide. It evaluates corporate environmental actions based on environmental disclosures submitted to CDP.

The results of this assessment are also utilised in the environmental evaluations of leading global socially responsible investment (SRI) indices, which serve as benchmarks for ESG investing.
More than 22,000 companies worldwide disclosed information to CDP. Epson is one of the 4% of companies that are acknowledged as a leading company in sustainability, making it onto the list. 

Epson says that it recognises that this CDP assessment is an important evaluation not only for institutional investors engaged in ESG investing but also for all stakeholders, including customers and business partners, who seek environmentally conscious products and services, as it helps to enhance trust in the company.

The company has worked to reduce water usage and strengthen wastewater management by accounting for regional characteristics in the areas where its group sites are located, while steadily advancing climate change initiatives over many years through technological innovation and continuous improvements at operating sites.

In the future, Epson says it will continue to pursue sustainable growth while fulfilling its responsibility to the environment through the company’s business activities.
