Masako Kusama, Epson PH's president, told PhilStar Tech that their current efforts to be more environmentally sustainable are giving them confidence to "hit" their target.
In early 2021, the company announced that its 100 billion yen investment in decarbonization for the next 10 years will be used in research & development, renewable energy, and recycling.
Kusama reported that the company recently started the construction of its first biomass power plant in lida City in Japan with the hope to have the plant in operation by 2026.
Moreover, Kusama said that Epson has already been using geothermal energy in its manufacturing plant in Batangas in their switch to 100% renewable energy.
The Batangas plant is one of its largest manufacturing facilities in the world.
The president also said that the company's shift to making its products more sustainable is one of its ways to help encourage others to follow the same path it is on.
"So I really want to encourage everyone in Philippine society to think about, especially in the Philippines, how to reduce the damage to the environment and less energy, less plastic and also less waste by using Epson products." "By using Epson inkjet technology copiers, they can represent that they are a sustainable company," she added.
