Epson says it is in recognition of the company's global efforts to uphold the highest standards on the environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement and highlights its commitment and actions on sustainability.

The platinum rating ranks Epson in the top one per cent of companies in its industry, particularly excelling in the fields of the environment as well as labour and human rights.
