  2. Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018

  3. The road towards Environmental Vision 2050 Environmental Initiatives 2018 Established the General Environmental Policy Action 2010 (2006) Declared commitment to eliminating CFCs Founded in Nagano Strong commitment since founding to keep Lake Suwa clean 1988 2050 1942 1998 2008 Foundation The 1st Environmental Benchmark Year The 2nd Environmental Benchmark Year The 3rd Environmental Benchmark Year Environmental Vision Towards 2050 Environmental Vision 2050 Established Environmental Vision 2050 2018

  4. In the next ten years Epson will Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • Establish 4 actions geared toward achieving the goals of "Environmental Vision 2050." • Developing a business model in which end-user products have a longer service life/durability and ultimately are returned to Epson • Reduce CO2 emissions at the component manufacturing stage - Develop energy- and resource-saving designs and substitute technologies • Halve the Clean Room energy usage by an expert project team • Initiate restoring biodiversity together with other stakeholders, incl. employees and NGOs

  5. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 1 - Developing a new business model, longer life and returnable products • Extending the service life of products, • Seek to build a business model that enables an efficient resource cycle. • Product reuse, • Leasing, • Rentals

  6. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 1 - Developing a new business model, longer life and returnable products • During 2008 Epson will establish collect and recycle programs for all consumable lines • Expand system consumer inkjet cartridges • Expand coverage of system toner cartridges • Establish system for large format inkjet cartridges • Recycling processes will focus on high quality results • Next step is investigate potential of refill

  7. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 1 - Developing a new business model, longer life and returnable products • New Concept : Epson EC-01 • Studying product viability from the market needs and technological possibility No cartridge waste Printer Recycled ECOLOGIC No hassle to change ink, keep ink supplies, no future ink cost EASY ECONOMIC Low Cost per page

  8. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 2 - CO2 reduction: miniaturization at component manufacturing Lamp ･Miniaturization of lamp Transition of the mass per luminosity Exterior case ･Low specific gravity material 0.225 0.095 0.072 0.063 Weight/100lm Optical Engine ･Miniaturization ･Low specific gravity material Power supply ･Miniaturization

  9. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 2 - CO2 reduction – energy saving design Power Consumption of Energy-Saving Design Printers (per day) Total power consumption in one day = Power consumption at working + Power consumption at stand-by＋Power consumption at sleep mode + Turn-off power consumption / Power on: 8 hours, Power off: 16 hours

  10. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 2 - CO2 reduction: improvements through life cycle thinking

  11. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Stylus Photo CX5200 Stylus Photo RX600 Stylus Photo RX620 Stylus Photo RX640 Stylus Photo RX580/RX590 Stylus Photo RX585 Stylus Scan 2800 /Epson 1000 ICS Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 2 - CO2 reduction – size reduction and improvement of packaging efficiency • Packaging Efficiency = Packaging Volume (cm3) / Product Volume (cm3)

  12. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 2 - CO2 reduction – substitute technology • Flat panel vs. Projectors : power consumption vs EPSON typical business projector: 248W Flat panel television 60-65” = 500-700W !! Substituting technology can create huge energy savings (>33%)

  13. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 2 - CO2 reduction: substitute technology Industrial textile printer : Robustelli S.r.L - MonnaLisa Inkjet technology compared to conventional technology* 75.5 % reduction of water use | 40.7 % reduction of energy use * Source: LIUC University (Italy) 2008

  14. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 2 - CO2 reduction: substitute technology • Electronic paper could supplement printer fleets • Ultra-low power consumption • Highly portable (180 x 120 mm), thickness: 3 mm, weight: 57 g • Refresh images 1,400 times with a single button battery (CR1220) • High-speed refresh (0.7 seconds) • A4 and A6 size

  15. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 3 - Reduction of clean room energy usage • Clean rooms are the Epson’s largest source of CO2 emissions, accounting for about 40% of total emissions. • 10 year plans will focus on 50% reduction • Reducing number of clean rooms • Reducing size of clean rooms • Improving energy efficiency of clean rooms

  16. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 3 - Reduction of clean room energy usage • Saving energy by reducing the space and operating time required • Improving efficiency of facilities and equipment 2018 Approach CO2 Saving Energy Cut operating time and space by 25% 0.75(75% of current level) Efficiency Increase efficiency by 1.5 times 1/1.5=0.67(67% of current level) Energy consumption (C02) 0.75x0.67=0.5 0.5(50% of current level)

  17. 4 actions towards “Environmental Vision 2050” Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 4 – Reforestation Initiatives

  18. Restoring Bio-diversity in area destroyed by fire in Portugal Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • Project would be located in the Centre Interior of Portugal, on the slopes of the Gardunha Mountain • Replant with chestnut and oak, two of the original species that have gradually disappeared • Reintroduce wildlife

  19. European Initiatives: logistics operation Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • 2007 achievements • Relocation of European Warehouse (reduction of 900,000km transport) • Redirect transport from road to rail • Use of double deck trucks (reduced CO2 impact by 217 tonnes) • Airfreight volume reduced by 50% in 4 years • 2008 will focus on setting long term targets • Make CO2 emissions measurable in EMEA logistics operation • Calculate improvements made during last years • Set EMEA logistics reduction targets for 2009 • Reduce warehouse space by 40% in 4 years ending in 2009 • Asia - customer direct shipment: increase from • 4% in 2007 to 10% in 2008 Air Freight volume-60% Space (m²)-40%

  20. European Initiatives: Advisory Board Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • Set up • 2 regional boards: one for Japan, one for Europe • Aim • Give independent advise and recommendations • On environmental issues, CSR and possibly even quality assurance • Focal points • The implementation of Vision 2050 • And related environmental and CSR questions • Meetings • Held on a regular basis in each region • Annually on a global level • Selection criteria of the members • Knowledge and expertise • Strategic skills in the fields of environment, CSR and beyond • Communication • Internally • Externally (eco governance)

  21. European initiatives: Ink Cartridge production Environmental Initiatives Towards 2018 • Epson Telford Ltd. • Energy Saving activities • Reusing waste water • Promoting Site Biodiversity • Segregating & Recycling Waste • Recycling Handling for Local Companies • Working with Local Schools 1996 – ISO14001 2003 – Energy Efficiency Accreditation 2001 – Achieved Zero Landfill 2007 - refurbishment operation expanded to whole EU

  22. The road towards Environmental Vision 2050 Environmental Initiatives 2018 Established the General Environmental Policy Action 2010 (2006) Declared commitment to eliminating CFCs Founded in Nagano Strong commitment since founding to keep Lake Suwa clean 1988 2050 1942 1998 2008 Foundation The 1st Environmental Benchmark Year The 2nd Environmental Benchmark Year The 3rd Environmental Benchmark Year Environmental Vision Towards 2050 Environmental Vision 2050 Established Environmental Vision 2050 2018
