Epson and WWF team-up to champion sustainability and enhance marine restoration efforts in SEA

Epson Southeast Asia and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) are teaming up to scale-up marine conservation impact and climate solutions across the region by collaborating with stakeholders and local communities. Thus far, their efforts have generated positive impacts for coral restoration efforts in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore as well as mangrove restoration in the Philippines.

What is the Epson and WWF collaboration about

The key objectives here are to restore the critically important ecosystem while empowering local communities in the long-term maintenance and management of their coastal resources. In addition, Epson will be supporting WWF to influence businesses and consumers towards the transition to a low-carbon economy. 

The Epson and WWF collaboration will see WWF working with Epson SEA teams at a local level to launch education programmes in the Southeast Asia region including webinars on sustainable consumer spending, virtual museums on how to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint and forest protection campaigns.

“Lasting conservation impact is achieved through collaboration with sincere partners,” Mr. R. Raghunathan, WWF-Singapore CEO said, “We look forward to working closely with Epson who are committed to real climate action and to drive meaningful efforts to ensure that conservation of our environment is in tandem with economic empowerment and humans living in harmony with nature.”

“Sustainability has been and will continue to be a core focus for Epson as part of our renewed Epson 25 Corporate Vision,” said Siew Jin Kiat, Regional Managing Director, Epson Southeast Asia. “Beyond our ongoing efforts to deliver sustainable technology and solutions to our customers and partners, we are extremely proud to be extending this focus on sustainability to the places we operate in by co-creating a myriad of eco-innovative solutions with WWF and local communities to truly make an impact on a greener tomorrow.” For more on Epson and WWF, check out their respective pages at www.epson.com.my and for WWF check them out at https://wwf.sg/
