Epson on Dow Jones Sustainability World Index

Epson on Dow Jones Sustainability World Index

Seiko Epson has been selected for the second time as a component company of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index, both leading indicators for socially responsible operations.

The international stock indexes, jointly developed by the American company Dow Jones and Switzerland's Sustainable Asset Management group, assess companies around the world based on economic, environmental, and social perspectives, and select those with the best future prospects for achieving sustainability.

Epson, which last year launched its Environmental Vision 2050 programme, recently published its
Sustainability Report 2009 (see previous news story) showing how it is meeting self imposed green obligations.
