Epson has announced that, for the second consecutive year, the company has been awarded a AAA rating, the highest rating in the MSCI ESG Ratings in 2025.
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 was awarded the AAA rating for the second consecutive year 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 20231.
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 equities2 adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF).
Epson said that 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, and fulfilling social responsibility, and is working in line with a value creation story that depicts how it will solve societal issues and provide value.
The Epson Group purpose statement is “Our philosophy of efficient, compact and precise innovation enriches lives and helps create a better world.”
