SUSTAINABILITY
“ Sustainability can be traced to the roots of Japanese history ; it was invented in Japan ,” explains Epson Europe ’ s CSR Director Henning Ohlsson . “ Some people claim this began with the protection of the forests and the planting of new trees after each harvest . It goes back to the Edo period in Japan ( 1603-1868 ) where in the cast hierarchy the whole of society lived in a closed environment . They recycled and reused . The farmers were the key cast in that society ; that is why sustainability thinking is in the DNA of Epson ’ s Japanese engineers and a big part of monozukuri . Utilising craftsmanship to invent things very close to nature leads towards a higher standard of product quality .”
Epson has a monozukuri school in Japan . Before its engineers ( including software engineers ) enter the R & D centre they must undertake training there , get their hands dirty , cut the metal and appreciate the physical side
