The vision includes key initiatives to tackle global warming,
worldwide resource depletion and biodiversity loss
Brussels, Belgium – 2 June, 2008
During a press conference in Brussels, Belgium, Akihiko Sakai, Executive Officer, Corporate Strategy Office, Seiko Epson Corporation, unveiled the company’s Environmental Vision for the next generation. Speaking on the eve of the European Green Week, Sakai outlined an ambitious multi-part program to address some of the most pressing environmental concerns facing the global community looking towards 2050 and how Epson intends to tackle them over the next 10 years.
Specifically, among the goals introduced today, was a plan to significantly reduce the company’s CO2 emissions across the lifecycle of products and services, ensure that all products are either reused or recycled, and take an active part in biodiversity projects.
Epson has set four key conditions in order to work towards achieving “Environmental Vision 2050″:
1) Reduction of CO2 emissions by 90% across the entire product life cycle.
2) Inclusion of all products in the resource reuse and recycling loop*.
3) Reduction of direct CO2 emissions by 90%, and elimination of global warming gas emissions other than CO2.
4) Restoration and preservation of biodiversity as a member of the ecosystem, together with local communities.
