In February 2004, Epson was awarded
the Minister of Environment’s Prize
at the 13th Grand Prize for the Global
Environment Award sponsored by
the Japan Industrial Journal. This
award was in recognition of Epson’s
unique concept of scalable, minimum

innovating production processes
from the ground up enables current
large-scale factories to be converted
into compact varieties. Through this
conversion, Epson proposes to
sharply lower its total energy con-
sumption in fiscal 2010 by reducing
CO2 emissions on a global, consoli-
dated basis to 60% of its absolute
quantity of emissions for fiscal 1997.
