Epson has been awarded the Platinum rating for sustainability by EcoVadis, one of the world’s most trusted providers of business sustainability ratings. The recognition places Epson in the top 1% of more than 130,000 companies assessed globally, reflecting the company’s strong performance across environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.

In its most recent assessment, Epson achieved an overall score of 84 out of 100, placing the company in the 99th percentile of all companies evaluated by EcoVadis. The assessment evaluates performance across four key areas: Environment (91), Labour & Human Rights (89), Ethics (72), and Sustainable Procurement (77).

EcoVadis ratings provide an independent assessment of companies’ sustainability management systems, policies, actions, and reporting, helping organisations demonstrate responsible business practices throughout their operations and supply chains.
