The pandemic has inspired change in behaviors across consumers, enterprises, and
governments, indicating a turning point in how people value sustainability. In line with
the rise in social awareness of environmental issues and its implications, businesses
and individuals alike are opting for eco-friendly products.
Throughout Southeast Asia, member states have further pledged cooperation on
climate change in the form of their own unique national agenda. Conversations on
climate financing, alongside private-public declarations on limiting global warming,
demonstrates the degree to which climate change pervades every aspect of modern life
moving forward. Across the region, there has been a renewed demand and focus on
sustainability reporting—with green procurement as a core tactic to achieve goals and
vast opportunities within green industries, which then allow Southeast Asian enterprises
to reap its benefits.
Reports from PwC 1 and KPMG 2 indicate that there is an improved perception on
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) investments in companies across Asia,
due to the increase in implementation of sustainability-aligned corporate values. With
this current trend, businesses should reevaluate the products that consumers and
investors support in our current climate, apart from traditional benchmark indicators
such as growth, profitability, and corporate governance.

Protecting the Productivity Bottom Line
The time to act is now. Climate change reports have suggested the urgency and
cooperation required for real impact, or to otherwise face serious consequences of
climate inaction. Big players in asset management such as BlackRock 3 have been
making bold statements to cut off investments for companies that do not invest in ESG-
related strategies 4 . Procuring Epson’s products is a fast, simple, and effective way to
align organizational ethos to the necessary reporting of sustainable enterprise efforts,
