Epson re-affirmed its commitment to sustainability and announced new initiatives at the Fusion 15 “The Eco-Connection” at Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu on May 15-17.
During the media event, the company emphasized the importance of forming an eco-connection, which represents two key elements central to its corporate mission.
First, it signifies their continuous commitment to building a sustainable future, which involves creating eco-efficient products, adopting sustainable practices in its operations, and forming impactful initiatives that benefit both people and the planet. Second, maintaining a strong bond between Epson and its partners and customers as they work together to promote sustainability.
Epson integrates sustainability in its day-to-day processes by using solar power and reducing waste and emissions in manufacturing. The company is the first Japanese manufacturer to transition all its global sites to 100% renewable energy. Furthermore, it is working toward becoming carbon-negative and underground resource-free by 2050.
The company is also making strides in sustainable action through its partnership with WWF-Philippines. Joint initiatives such as the educational Panda Talks and the Mangrove Restoration Project have reinforced the importance of a shared responsibility to care for the environment.
A new project is also on its way, where they will provide machinery and building infrastructure for Atelier Sewing-Recycling Art Studio in Siargao Island.
To conclude the event, Masako Kusama, President and Director at Epson Philippines, said “At Epson, we’re not just building products, we’re building a greener tomorrow. As we celebrate 15 years of Fusion, we invite everyone to join us in this mission. Together, let’s save energy, make responsible choices, and create a thriving future for both people and the planet.”
