Epson awarded AAA rating
Epson has been awarded an AAA rating for the second consecutive year, the highest rating in the MSCI ESG Ratings in 2025.
The company received the AAA rating due to its commitment to meeting internationally recognised standards of CSR procurement and to the enhancement of transparency in raw material procurement and human capital development systems in 2023.
MSCI ESG Ratings is a global ESG investment index provided by MSCI. MSCI researches and analyses a company’s response to ESG-related risks and opportunities and assigns one of seven ratings ranging from AAA at the top to CCC at the bottom.
Epson has been selected as a constituent of the MSCI Japan ESG Select Leaders Index and the MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index (WIN), as well as all other ESG indices covering Japanese equities adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF).
It has identified four material issues that it can and should address:
- Achieving sustainability in a circular economy
- Advancing the frontiers of industry
- Improving the quality of life
- Fulfilling social responsibility
Epson said it is also working in line with a value creation story that depicts how it will solve societal issues and provide value.
