Epson Joins RE100 Initiative and Reconfirms Commitment to 100% Renewable Electricity
Epson Joins RE100 Initiative and Reconfirms Commitment to 100% Renewable Electricity
SYDNEY, 6 May 2021 â Epson has announced it will be joining RE100, a global initiative that brings together the worldâs most influential businesses driving the transition to 100% renewable electricity. Epson had in March 2021 announced that its worldwide Group sites*1 will all meet their electricity needs from 100% renewable energy sources (renewable electricity) by 2023.
With growing global interest in societal issues such as the environment and energy, the Paris Agreement established decarbonisation targets, and Epson created a scenario to achieve by FY2025 science-based targets (SBT*2) aimed at reaching these goals. This scenario included the use of renewable electricity as an important theme, and Epson has made plans and implemented measures to expand its use over the long term.
Todayâs announcement comes at the same time RE100 announces its â300 moment,â bringing the total number of member organisations to exactly 300. Epson believes that joining other environmental leaders in RE100 illustrates its commitment to achieving SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy, and SDG 13 Climate Action.
âEpson is proud to join RE100 at this special time,â said Epson global president Yasunori Ogawa. âJoining this important initiative not only expresses our strong commitment to 100% renewable electricity and to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, but encourages our customers and business partners to also make the switch. We hope to use this opportunity to work with partners worldwide to help them achieve this.â
Aleksandra Klassen, Senior Impact Manager RE100, The Climate Group said: âI am delighted to welcome Epson to RE100. By committing to 100% renewable electricity, Epson joins over 50 Japanese companies driving market change. This sends a powerful message that renewable electricity makes good business sense, and we encourage others to follow. To benefit from the growing corporate investment opportunity, we urge the government to remove barriers and match business ambition by more than doubling the national renewable energy target.â
*1: âAll sitesâ referenced in this release excludes leased properties for sales offices, etc., where the amount of electricity cannot be determined.
*2: Scope 1 and 2 call for a 19% reduction in emissions by FY2025 against a benchmark of 2017.

SELLING HOUSES AUSTRALIA
Andrew Winter joined by new presenters
Wendy Moore and Dennis Scott
as production commences for 14th season
FOXTELâs smash-hit local production, Selling Houses Australia returns to production for its 14th season for the LifeStyle channel. FOXTEL today announced Award-winning host and real estate expert Andrew Winter will be joined by new presenters, interior design expert Wendy Moore and landscape designer Dennis Scott.
Production starts next week with the Selling Houses Australia team scouring the length and breadth of Australiaâs heartland, bringing their inspired ideas and expertise for interior and exterior makeovers. Whilst the property market is booming, the market is a little erratic and not every house is an easy sell, so the team are ready to start transforming homes and lives.
Wendy Moore helmed Australian Home Beautiful as editor in chief for more than 12 years, combining her expertise in interiors and design with a strength in communicating with a passionate audience. With interior design and makeover projects also under her belt, Wendy joined as a judge on Channel 7âs House Rules for seven seasons, which showcased her deep knowledge of both high-end and mainstream interiors. Wendy will bring her expertise and passion in design to those homeowners in desperate need of her help to get their house to the next level and ready for sale.
Wendy continues in her role as Group General Manager of FOXTELâs LifeStyle Group overseeing all aspects of FOXTELâs iconic LifeStyle brand including LifeStyle, LifeStyle HOME, LifeStyle FOOD channels and FOX ARENA.
Dennis Scott will take up his role as resident landscape expert bringing a wealth of experience in sustainability and a passion for designing functional and uniquely Australian outdoor spaces. Dennis owns Lush Landscape Solutions, a landscape company based in Brisbane which provides services on everything from landscape design and construction to property maintenance.
Dennis, a former Rugby league player, had an NRL career which spanned ten years and began in 1996 when he played for the Brisbane Broncos. Dennis joined Canterbury-Bankstown in 1999 for the next six years, then linked with Craig Bellamy and the Melbourne Storm for two seasons in 2005, 2006.
Announcing his NRL retirement following a long battle with injury, Dennis decided to focus on the long term rather than the short-term reward of having to finish the season and made the tough transition to a career after sport. Dennis undertook a mature aged carpentry apprenticeship at his friendâs construction company. It was during this time where Dennis turned his hand to landscaping, through a born necessity of offering a complete package of building and landscape. Dennis fell in love with landscaping and realised his dream of starting his own business and Lush Landscape Solutions was born.
FOXTELâs Executive Director of Television, Brian Walsh, said: âWe welcome Wendy and Dennis to the Selling Houses Australia team who will bring their wealth of expertise and their own unique personalities to our much-loved flagship series with Andrew at the helm. With people spending more time in and on their homes, Selling Houses will continue to connect and thrive with our audience after an already incredible successful 13 years.
âSelling Houses Australia joins a stellar line-up of local LifeStyle content including returning LifeStyle favourites Grand Designs Australia currently on air, and coming soon Scott Papeâs Money Movement, Love it or List It Australia, Gogglebox Australia and Find My Dream Home. As well as our new slate of Foxtel Original programming going into production Selling in the City and The Repair Shop.â
Andrew Winter said: âI am actually a person that has always liked change⌠I mean I canât even keep a house that long. The timeline for Selling Houses Australia has been completely thrown with everything going on in the world, and I have been waiting impatiently and canât wait to get back out there. I am really looking forward to working with Wendy and Dennis and welcome them to the team because we are so ready to hit the road.â
Selling Houses Australia is produced by Warner Bros International Television Productions (WBITVP) exclusively for FOXTELâs LifeStyle Channel and returns in 2022.
