I am particularly proud to take on this leadership role for Epson Europe as we enter a new phase for the company. I look forward to leading our European operations as we work to reduce the impact Epson products and services and supply chains have on the environment.”

Prior to his appointment as president, Mr. Nagafusa was Senior Vice President for Epson Europe with responsibility for optimising infrastructure and sales operations in the organisation’s CISMEA region. Mr. Nagafusa has held a number of senior positions at Epson both in Europe and globally in more than 30 years with the company.

A program for sustainability

Epson recently announced Epson 25 Renewed, a new corporate vision to drive the company towards its goals of achieving sustainability and enriching communities. Epson’s strong sustainability commitments and achievements already see it ranking in the top ten of all companies measured by industry intelligence provider IDC’s sustainability framework, rating higher than average across all indexes measured.

Epson’s revised Environmental Vision 2050 reinforces these goals, as the company seeks to become carbon negative and underground resource free by 2050 through a program of decarbonisation, closing resource loops, customer environmental impact mitigation and the development of innovative environmental technologies.
