Our use of environmentally friendly raw materials to create evergreen products.
We aim not only to ban chemical substances, but to control raw materials to ensure they comply with our policy to offer eco-friendly products.
Epson integrates chemical management within the whole lifecycle of our products - from the purchase of raw materials to disposal.
Our aim is to eliminate chemical substances harmful to the environment and human health when sustainable alternatives become available, and to control the other substances. To do this, we are focused on three programmes:
- Developing standard governing operations
- Controlling and checking identified substances used in our products through the application of internal guidelines used worldwide, and
- Use of an additional and more detailed guideline with regards to the chemical substances subject to elimination in our products.
Supplying Epson means engaging in our philosophy
- To provide innovative products and services to our customers, we source the best raw materials from suppliers around the world. To stay true to our environmental philosophy, it is essential that our suppliers fully understand and support our corporate principles.
Our procurement policy
- We will build good partnerships with suppliers, based on mutual trust and the principles of fairness, coexistence and co-prosperity.
- Exercising high ethical standards and a social conscience, we will conduct our procurement activities in strict compliance with both the letter and spirit of laws and regulations, both national and international, in every region where we operate.
