THE CRYSTALMASTER
ENERGY SAVING EPSON
EPSON offers effective savings to its customers through a wide
range of electronic devices, such as semiconductors, liquid crystal
display (LCD) modules, and crystal devices. These savings are
achieved through a sophisticated melding of three different effi-
ciency technologies.
Power saving technology provides low power consumption at
low voltages.
Space saving technology provides further reductions in product
size and weight through super-precise processing and high-density
assembly technology.
Time saving technology shortens the time required for design
and development on the customer side and shortens delivery
times.
Our concept of Energy Saving technology conserves resources
by blending the essence of these three efficiency technologies. The
essence of these technologies is represented in each of the prod-
ucts that we provide to our customers.
In the industrial sector, leading priorities include measures to
counter the greenhouse effect by reducing CO2, measures to pre-
serve the global environment, and the development of energy-effi-
cient products. Environmental problems are of global concern, and
although the contribution of energy-saving technology developed
by EPSON may appear insignificant, we seek to contribute to the
development of energy-saving products by our customers through
the utilization of our electronic devices. EPSON is committed to
the conservation of energy, both for the sake of people and of the
planet on which we live.
WORKING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
In 1988, Seiko Epson led in working to abolish CFCs, and perfect
abolition of those ozone layer-destroying substances was achieved in
1992. In 1998, the 10th year of start of the CFC-free activity, Seiko
Epson set this year as the "Second Environmental Benchmark Year"
and established a new corporate General Environmental Policy. Seiko
Epson is tackling with environmental issues comprehensively.
At the end of Fiscal 1988, Seiko Epson succeeded in abolishing
chloric solvents doubted to be harmful to human body. In fiscal 1999,
Seiko Epson started the activity with a goal of abolishing lead solder
pointed out possibility of enironmental pollutant.
Co-existence Mark

existence.
Promotion of Environment Management System
conforming to International Standard
To strengthen management for environmental activities, Seiko Epson
Group aims at acquisition of the ISO14001 certification for Japanese
and abroad main business bases (including affiliates) for
manufacturing, sales, software development and others.
As of May 25 , 2001, planned 68 bases of all manufacturing bases
and some non-manufacturing bases have acquired the certification.
ISO14000 is an international standard for
environmental management that was
established by the International Standards
Organization in 1996 against the background of
growing concern regarding global warming,
destruction of the ozone layer, and global
deforestation.
WORKING FOR HIGH QUALITY
Seiko-Epson quickly began working to acquire company-wide
ISO9000 series certification, and has acquired ISO9001 or ISO9002
certification with all targeted products manufactured in Japanese and
overseas plants.
The Quartz Device Operations Division, EPM and SZE have
acquired QS-9000 certification, which are of higher level.
QS-9000:
This is an enhanced standard for quality
assurance systems formulated by leading U.S.
automobile manufacturers based on the
international ISO 9000 series.
