As stated in its Management Philosophy, Epson seeks to become an indispensable company, an ambition that Epson considers to be consistent with the realization of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
In 2017, as part of this effort, Epson created 'Key CSR Themes,' a materiality matrix that identifies important initiatives for addressing social issues. Epson examined the relationship between its initiatives and the 169 targets of the 17 SDGs to identify the SDGs that intersect with Epson's initiatives.

Epson confirmed that its initiatives support the achievement of the 13 SDGs below. (Please note that this matrix was mapped out in March 2018 and is subject to change depending on future business developments.)
Epson believes that the growth strategies it has outlined in the Epson 25 Corporate Vision will help to achieve the SDGs. Specifically, we will solve social issues and help to realize a sustainable society by driving innovations in four areas and executing environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives that support the realization of the Management Philosophy.
