Epson receives the EcoVadis Platinum Award for sustainability

Epson, the globally operating technology firm and exhibitor at the PSI 2025, has received the Platinum Award in the area of sustainability from EcoVadis, a leading provider of sustainability ratings for businesses. This prestigious award recognises Epson’s commitment to upholding the highest standards in environmental practices, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.  

The Platinum Award places Epson among the top one per cent of all companies rated by EcoVadis across all industries, thus reflecting the company’s progress with regard to ecological sustainability. Epson increased its overall score from 77 to 83 out of 100 points – despite the fact that EcoVadis has since implemented stricter evaluation criteria. This independent certification gives customers the assurance that Epson is one of the most responsible and conscious companies in the industry.

Epson has also received excellent ratings in various sub-categories and was ranked among the top one per cent in the areas of “Environment” as well as “Labour & Human rights” and among the top two per cent of all audited companies in the area of “Sustainable Procurement”. In addition, the company ranks among the top 30 per cent in the “Ethics” category. To achieve a Platinum Medal this year, companies must be among the top one per cent of all assessed companies.

EcoVadis is a globally recognised rating company, which evaluates over 130,000 companies in more than 220 industry categories and in over 180 countries. According to a company statement, the most recent Platinum Award for Epson is “proof of the company’s continued commitment and the remarkable improvements achieved in the past year with regard to sustainable growth”.

“The platinum certification is the result of our measures to recognise and solve social and environmental challenges”, said Takanori Inaho, President von Epson Europe. “We follow the guiding principle of “Sho Sho Sei”, which commits us to continuous improvement and thus enables us to develop ever better compact, efficient and precise products. Our proprietary technologies make a concrete contribution to climate protection, as we are aware of our responsibility to minimise the impact of our actions on the planet.” www.epson.de
