Epson awarded AAA rating in 2025 MSCI ESG Ratings (for 2nd consecutive year)
MSCI ESG ratings are designed to measure a company's long-term commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. These ratings evaluate how well companies manage risks and opportunities related to sustainability that are financially relevant to their industry. The ratings range from AAA (leaders) to CCC (laggards), allowing investors to identify which companies are better positioned to handle ESG-related challenges. 
The ratings play a crucial role in the growing field of sustainable investing, helping investors (e.g. pension funds and asset managers) make informed decisions based on a comprehensive view of a company's ESG performance. The ratings cover over 17,000 issuers and 999,000 securities globally, continuously monitoring emerging risks and opportunities.
Epson was awarded the AAA rating due to its commitment to meeting internationally recognized standards of CSR procurement and to the enhancement of transparency in raw material procurement and human capital development systems in 2023.
Epson has also been selected as a constituent of the MSCI Japan ESG Select Leaders Index and the MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index, as well as all other ESG indices covering Japanese equities adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund.
