Climate Commitments and Targets:
Epson is committed to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions. Key targets include:
- By FY2030: Reduce overall GHG emissions by 55% compared to the FY2017 baseline.
- By FY2025: Achieve a 34% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from the FY2017 baseline. This target is supported by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation.
- By FY2050: Epson aims to become carbon negative and underground resource-free. This long-term vision signifies a commitment to removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than emitted and phasing out the use of underground resources.
Epson's SBTi commitments include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 34% by FY2025 against an FY2017 base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products per unit of value added by 44% within the same timeframe. Longer-term, Epson has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from an FY2017 base year.
