EPSON’s production facility, Epson Precision (Thailand) Ltd. (EPTH), has achieved Platinum recognition under the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Validated Assessment Program (VAP), based on audits conducted by RBA-approved independent third-party firms. This achievement further underscores Epson’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) within its global supply chain. Since joining the RBA in April 2019, Epson has embraced its responsibility to achieve the highest standards in CSR by voluntarily undergoing rigorous VAP audits at its primary production sites.
The audits, performed by independent RBA-certified, third-party organizations, assess compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct in critical areas such as labour practices, health and safety, environmental standards, and ethics. EPSON’s commitment to responsible manufacturing is underscored by successful VAP assessments across a number of production sites in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, and the Philippines, achieving Platinum recognition. EPTH – an overseas Epson Group production facility that manufactures watches and quartz devices – recently underwent one of the VAP audits itself and achieved Platinum recognition, only granted to factories with a final VAP score of 200.
