Epson
Released 10/02/2010
Company named Sustainability Leader in office equipment
Seiko Epson Corporation has been named a Sustainability Leader and awarded Silver Class status in the SAM Sustainability Yearbook 2010, published on 26 January.
The annual Sustainability Yearbook rates the sustainable growth potential of over 1,200 corporations worldwide by assessing them against around 100 general and industry-specific criteria, covering economic, social, and environmental performance. The SRI (social responsibility investment) research company, the SAM Group, evaluates each potential entrant in collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Of the 246 companies representing 58 sectors contained in the 2010 Yearbook, 97 were awarded Gold Class, 84 were rated as Silver Class, and 65 were given Bronze Class ratings. Epson is one of seven Sustainability Leaders named in the ‘Computer Hardware & Electronic Office Equipment' sector, all of which attained Silver Class status.
Epson was first listed in the 2008 Yearbook with a Bronze Class rating, and as a result was also included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI), for which the SAM Group has responsibility for evaluation and admission.
