This is the third successive year Epson has earned a gold rating.

The top rating, which reflects Epson’s commitment to achieving the highest possible international corporate social responsibility standards, also acknowledges the company as being “outstanding” in sustainable procurement, as well as highlighting its achievement in labor and human rights and its actions to preserve the environment, the company says.

“Corporate social responsibility is at the heart of everything we do at Epson and this excellent achievement in CSR is as important and valuable to our business as financial success,” says Minoru Usui, global president of Epson.
