Epson has made it on to the FTSE4Good Index Series for the 21st consecutive year.
FTSE Russell, a London Stock Exchange Group company and global index provider created the FTSE4Good Index Series to measure the performance of companies that demonstrate strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Companies use the FTSE4Good Index Series to create and evaluate sustainable investment funds and other financial products.
Epson says it aspires to achieve sustainability and enrich communities over the long term. The company sees its inclusion in this index as objective evidence that its efforts to address environmental and social issues have been recognised and that it is seen as a sustainable company.
Other ESG indices that have selected Epson for inclusion are the FTSE Blossom Japan Index; FTSE Blossom Japan Sector Relative Index; MSCI Nihonkabu ESG Select Leaders Index; MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index; S&P/JPX Carbon Efficient Index; and the Morningstar Japan ex-REIT Gender Diversity Tilt Index. These ESG investor indexes comprise Japanese stocks that are used by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF).
Epson Sustainability Management has more information on the company’s sustainability initiatives.
