Epson to Disclose Climate-Related Financial Information in Accordance with Final Report of the TCFD

Epson indicated approval of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in October 2019.
Epson is taking steps to deal with climate change in all aspects of its business. Examples include cutting emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in production (scopes 1 and 2) and in the value chain (scope 3). These efforts are intended to help achieve the carbon-free society called for in the Paris Agreement.
In line with the recommendations of the TCFD, Epson will actively disclose climate-related financial information going forward. Such information will address both the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to our business. Consideration will be given to strategy, risk management, governance, and indicators.
