Epson Australia has been recognized by the CitySwitch program for its ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. The company has transitioned its regional offices to 100 percent renewable electricity and shifted inbound freight from road to rail to lower logistics emissions. Beyond energy shifts, Epson has implemented a comprehensive Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions framework. These steps align local Australian operations with global science-based targets to achieve carbon negativity by 2050.

Good to see a company actually mentioning Scope 3. Most just stick to Scope 1 and 2 because the supply chain data is a nightmare to collect. The real test is how they handle those third party emissions.
True, but the rail shift is a concrete win. Moving freight off the road is a direct way to cut carbon without waiting for the grid to fully green out.
100 percent renewable electricity is a start, but I wonder if they are using certificates or actually sourcing from new additions to the grid. Does this actually add new capacity or just shuffle existing credits?
Basically Epson is getting an award for tracking their energy and waste via the CitySwitch program. They have moved to rail freight and renewables for their offices.
