EPSON Group now uses 100 percent renewable sources at its global sites

Seiko EPSON Corporation has announced that, as of December 2023, all electricity used at EPSON Group sites around the globe is from renewable sources. This makes EPSON the first in the domestic manufacturing industry to complete the transition to renewable electricity at all of its sites worldwide, including Japan. EPSON Group consumes approximately 876 GWh of electricity per year. By sourcing renewables to cover this demand, Epson expects to reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 400,000 tonnes.

The use of renewable electricity is a key means by which Epson seeks to reach its goal of achieving decarbonization. In line with this, Epson declared, in March 2021, that it would switch to 100 percent renewable electricity to meet the electricity needs at all EPSON Group sites1 around the world by 2023. In November 2021, the switch was completed in Japan. The global switch to renewable electricity was completed on schedule in December 2023. EPSON publicly committed to becoming carbon negative and underground resource free in its Environmental Vision 2050.
