Driven by its global aspirations, Epson is dedicated to contributing to a better future aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the Philippines, the company has taken significant steps to adopt sustainability, focusing on three key actions to address its priority SDGs.
Firstly, under the theme of Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Epson is actively promoting sustainable products, services, and practices. Secondly, in line with Responsible Consumption and Production, Epson is taking measures to reduce waste from its own products in the Philippine market. This includes active participation in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Extended Producers Responsibility Act, as well as forming partnerships with recyclers and non-governmental organizations dedicated to reducing plastic and packaging waste.
Lastly, Epson is making strides in Partnership for the Goals by expanding its network of collaborations and investing in more partnerships.
