Epson Australia has been named a CitySwitch Champion for the third year in a row. The company has transitioned its regional offices to 100% renewable electricity and shifted inbound freight from road to rail to lower logistics emissions. Beyond energy shifts, Epson implemented a full Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions framework. These efforts focus on data quality and waste reduction at warehouse facilities to align with global science based targets for carbon negativity by 2050.

Epson is hitting the basics here. Renewable electricity and moving freight to rail are solid moves, but I want to see the actual tonnage of CO2 saved from that rail shift.

The real win is the Scope 3 framework. Most companies ignore the supply chain because the data is messy. If they are actually tracking that, they are ahead of most office based firms.

They mentioned enhancing energy efficiency at the Sydney head office. I wonder if that was just LED swaps or if they actually touched the HVAC and building envelope.

Probably just offsets or a green power purchase agreement for the 100% renewable claim. Did they actually install on site solar or just buy certificates?
