Introduction

The compact, lightweightSVGA (EMP-5100) full-color images and video to EPSON EMP-7100/5100 Projector allows you project XGA (EMP-7100),
onto a large screen for presentations. The projector can connect simultaneously to three image sources: two PC or Apple Macintosh computer image sources plus on video source such as a video tape deck, camcorder, or digital camera. Audio can also be connected for each image source. Images are displayed in XGA (EMP-7100) and SVGA (EMP-5100) compatible full color (16,670,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 (EMP7100), 800 x 600 (EMP-5100) pixels. The projector produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms with enough light to take notes. Audio can be produced from the projectors 2W+2W speakers, which employ a built-in Spatializer for output that is rich and powerful. An external speaker can also be connected when further amplification is required. A totally new AVTSS (Automatic Video Tracking and Synchronization Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic set-up of image from a computer with a touch of the AUTO button for quick and easy projection of beautiful images every time. The projector can be controlled using a hand-held remote control unit, with menus being provided for image source switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also be used as a wireless mouse to control mouse operations on the computer screen during presentations. The ELP LINK II software that comes with the projector provides a number of add-on features that are designed to make presentations more effective. The projector also features a new patented AIrR (Advanced Image real-time Resizer) chip which supports XGA (EMP-7100), VGA~XGA (EMP-5100) computer output, as well as VGA and SXGA output. Whichever type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity. The EMP-7100/5100 Projector supports IBM-compatible PCs and laptops, as well as Apple Macintosh, Power Macintosh and PowerBook computers. The video source can be NTSC, PAL or SECAM in composite video, S-Video format.

This label is granted to products that achieve industry-leading levels (or demonstrate improved environmental performance over conventional models) in terms of in-operation energy savings, resource savings and elimination of hazardous substances. The label thus communicates a products proven environmental performance to our customers. Customers can also obtain environmental specifications through on the Epson Ecology Profile sheets that are part of the Ecology Label program. The EMP-740s profile is available on the Epson Sales Japans website. Information disclosure is an important part of the Epson Ecology Label. In addition, it drives us to improve the environmental performance of all our products. Development of eco-friendly products at Epson begins with identifying environmental performance specifications at the planning and design stage, based on the Epson Ecology Label standards. These specifications drive the following steps: prototype creation, assessments, procurement of materials and parts, commercial production and disclosure of information to customers.
EcoLeaf: assessing environmental impact throughout a products lifecycle using LCA
In addition to the Epson Ecology Label, the EMP-740 is also compliant with the Type III environmental label EcoLeaf, a program that quantifies a products lifelong environmental impact using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, and information disclosure. The program is sponsored by the Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI). Epson has been improving our products environmental performance through the Epson Ecology Label program and assessing their impacts with LCA through the EcoLeaf program.

Feature Story-3

Customer-Centric Product Development
Activities to Improve Usability
The STYLUS PHOTO RX700 multifunction inkjet printer and the EMP-81 / PowerLite 81p projector are two products for which Epson has incorporated customer feedback and raised usability significantly. The improvements cover control panel operations, changes in operational steps, and the renaming of functions and their indicators. These are just a few examples of how Epson has been promoting customer-centric usability enhancements.
Cross-divisional efforts to enhance usability
The STYLUS PHOTO RX700 inkjet printer (IJP) is a compact printer with photo printing, color copying and scanning capabilities. It allows the direct printing of images from digital cameras and mobile phones without a personal computer. This most advanced model in the multifunction IJP group is a result of major usability improvements over that of its predecessor, the STYLUS PHOTO RX600/RX610, released in 2003. Following the launch of a new IJP product, employees in the related division, sales company, CS/Quality Assurance Office and design center hold product review meetings to discuss customer feedback collected at retail shops and call centers. Customers responded unfavorably to the control button on the STYLUS PHOTO RX600/RX610 that changes the LCD display menu, saying they often pushed the wrong buttons because all four directions are integrated into one button. They also complained that the rubber button had a strange texture and that its response was too slow. The IJP division conducted usability tests with various prototypes and decided to incorporate four separate buttons, each dedicated to one direction, with enhanced touch responsiveness (Photo 1). The Visual Instruments Operations Division, which develops and manufactures projectors, is also involved in Epsons usability enhancement initiatives. It has built a database of customer feedback for use in product planning and

Environmental management system utilizing ISO 14001
Epson sets annual/mid-range General Environmental Policy as a vital part of our annual management policy and midrange business plans, which are drawn up every three years. Promotional organizations (operations divisions, Head Office and Group companies/affiliates) then create their own environmental plans (midrange and fiscal plans) to undertake environmental activities as part of their business operations. Their efforts are audited internally once or twice a year, and appropriate corrective measures are taken at the promotional organization level (Fig. 3). We continuously improve this system by following ISO 14001 guidelines and the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) cycle. All major manufacturing and non-manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas have acquired ISO 14001 certification. Newly established companies work toward achieving certification within three years of startup.

Groupwide effort to build promotional structure
The Executive Vice President, as the Senior Director of Environmental Activities, leads the Groups entire environmental operations. The Senior Director is supported by the Global Environmental & Safety Policy Department, which is the main organization for Groupwide environmental efforts. The Environmental Committee and the Meeting of Environmental Affairs General Managers decide the Groupwide direction for environmental operations. Serious issues identified from the General Environmental Policy are dealt with by a cross-divisional Expert Committee that supports each promotional organization. Two expert committees, the Environmental Products Committee and the Green Factory Committee, pursue environmental measures in two areas, products and production processes/plant operations, respectively. Through these committees, we are strengthening the working relationship between the two areas, implementing
more effective measures and using them to encourage further integration of environmental activities into business operations (Fig. 4). For overseas Group companies/affiliates, we hold global environmental conferences and area conferences (U.S., Europe and China). Sponsored by the Head Office and each area respectively, they allow participants to share information and discuss the directions and goals of our environmental undertakings. The FY2004 global environmental conference was held at the Head Office in December, while a manufacturing-related global environmental conference was held at Epson Engineering (Shenzhen) Ltd. in August.
Managing risk through unified regulations
The Epson Group complies with pollutionprevention legislation by adhering uncompromisingly to the Groups unified regulations and standards. Each promotional organization practices ISO 14001 to identify all risks, such as potential failure to meet standards,

XV-3500CB vibration gyro sensor
GRAND SEIKO autowind watch with Spring Drive movement
The XV-3500CB is a subminiature angular velocity sensor designed for use in systems that compensate for vibrations in compact digital cameras and camera phones. By leveraging Epson's original crystal microprocessing technology (lowpower analog circuit technology) and packaging technology, we were able to achieve the world's smallest gyro sensor with built-in drive circuitry.
GRAND SEIKO is a luxury line of watches driven by Seiko's original Spring Drive movement. Not needing batteries, the watch uses the energy from the uncoiling of a wound spring to control the watch hands; the watch's accuracy is controlled by an IC and a quartz crystal. Winding is automatic, which makes this watch even more convenient.

Green Purchasing

In making earth-friendly products, every raw material and part must be chosen carefully and procured with the environment in mind, to achieve the highest environmental performance. Epson follows a set of strict Groupwide standards to effect green purchasing.

Facility management best practice
Philippines Epson Optical Inc. (Philippines/manufacturing) was established with the following considerations for safe operations. For management of the plants inputs, we ensured that the layout of building and equipment, electrical wiring, utility supplies (water, electricity, heat) and compressed air/vacuum, as well as temperature and humidity control, were designed so as to create the optimum environment for manufacturing. For output management, we took into consideration the structure and operation of the wastewater treatment facility, waste sorting and storage, and examined the qualifications of waste processing companies. We also made sure that supporting functions, such as lighting, restroom and dining hall facilities, telecommunications (telephone and networks), janitorial services and greenery management, were adequate. In respect to security, management of fire alarms, fire-fighting facilities, disaster and fire prevention equipment and
Improving plant operation and maintenance
Basic facilities are planned and laid out according to operations and maintenance plans that will assure stable utility supplies and plant operations. Being able to protect the environment in the local community is a precondition. To ensure this, we follow all related laws and regulations, in addition to meeting our own, stricter standards for air and water quality, and noise levels.

Soil and Water Contamination Prevention Measures
Since 1998, Epson has been voluntarily conducting soil and groundwater surveys, and has conducted cleanups following these guidelines: never allow accidental release of contaminated groundwater outside the plant premises; take safe and effective measures for cleaning; and complete cleaning in the shortest time possible.
Contamination surveys stricter than legally required and advanced cleanup methods
Japans Soil and Contamination Control Law requires soil surveys whenever plants that are using 25 specific substances subject to the Law terminate their operations. For land we plan to purchase, sell, return or convert to other use, Epson conducts surveys for all 25 substances according to guidelines much stricter than those dictated by local legislation, regardless of whether the substances have been used. Results of ongoing surveys are available on Epsons website. Table 1 shows the result of a survey on trichloroethylene in groundwater. Epson selects cleaning methods that are the safest and most suitable for the sites soil and groundwater, and conducts cleanup systematically.

Survey at Hirooka Plant

Upon construction of the Innovation Center at the Hirooka Plant (Japan/manufacturing), Epson conducted a soil and groundwater survey and found buried industrial wastes and soil contamination from fluorine, hexavalent chromium, boric acid and lead at the construction site. Although we were not responsible for these wastes, we decided to remove them and treat the contaminated soil to eliminate the future risk of groundwater contamination. In the groundwater survey, concentrations of arsenic that exceeded the legal standard were detected. This was reported to the authorities and an investigation was conducted. The Hirooka Plant does not have a history of using arsenic and the cause of the contamination is still unknown. We are continuing the investigation and holding briefings for local residents.
Completion of soil cleanup at former Epson Logistics Head Office site
Fluorine, hexavalent chromium, lead and arsenic and two volatile organic compounds, tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene, were found to exceed legal standards when Epson conducted a soil and groundwater survey on a lot it owned that was undergoing a land use change. The lot had been the site of the Epson Logistics Head Office (Okaya, Nagano Prefecture). Because Epson had no history of arsenic use and the government concluded that it was derived naturally, and also because trichloroethylene was found in the vicinity, we decided not to clean up these two substances and concentrated on the others. For the benefit of local residents, Epson disclosed the information and conducted the cleaning with the utmost care.

Information Security

Our approach to information security and management
After setting our policy on information security in 1998, Epson has been engaged in a variety of improvements, such as establishing regulations and standards, taking measures against computer viruses and unauthorized access, protecting information assets, and complying with laws and information ethics. Furthermore, we have been tightening companywide information security by placing a system expert in each business site and in each work section. Keenly aware that each employee plays a significant role in the security of information, we conducted security training for all employees and distributed network ID cards after the completion of the training. To ensure that trained employees keep upgrading their security awareness, we hold annual e-learning training, where employees must pass the final test in order to keep their network ID cards. We also have a designated Security Month in which we focus on enhancing security initiatives. 1. Foster acute awareness of corporate social responsibility For our stakeholders to have a secure relationship with Epson, we must make sure

In the Yamagata Environmental Study Stamp Rally held in summer 2004, participants toured 27 public and private facilities to learn about nature and the environment, collecting stamps at each facility. As one of the stops, Tohoku Epson installed a booth on its premises for families to learn about its eco-activities and to try an ecoquiz on PCs. The booth attracted about 550 visitors.

Social performance report
Reporting social performance is an integral part of information disclosure. We are accountable to a diverse group of stakeholders for reporting our social performance activities. This also provides us with an excellent opportunity to open up a channel of communication with them. Starting in 2004, we are arranging for all information requiring disclosure to be included in either the Annual Report or the Sustainability Report. Our environmental and social performance has been reported in the Sustainability Report (published in Japanese, English and Chinese) and in site reports issued by each business site. We are also using our website more to communicate information about each business site, as well as details which we were not able to include in the Sustainability Report.

Financial results

For reporting on business operations and financial results, Epson issues financial statements, financial summaries and operating statements, as required by law. The Company also releases Annual Reports and business reports as a voluntary means of disclosing information. These communication tools are published in Japanese and English at approximately the same time in Japan and overseas, to ensure the impartial disclosure of information. In 2005, Epson decided to send a business report with the shareholders meeting notice, so that shareholders would be well informed about our business standing prior to the meeting. All of this information and data is also available on Epsons website. In 2004, Epson began online streaming of business results meetings, which are held on the day the Company announces quarterly financial statements. The content of the meetings Q&A session is doc-

umented and uploaded onto our website. The 2004 shareholders meeting marked the first such meeting since Epson went public in 2003. We saw a large attendance and heard many valuable suggestions and opinions from our shareholders first-hand during the Q&A session. We also displayed Epson products at the meeting, to allow shareholders to experience our technology. Epson plans to further enhance communications activities to better serve the increasing number of private investors.
