Epson sponsors Onigiri Action 2024, providing meals to school children in Africa and Asia

Epson has again become an official partner of "Onigiri Action 2024." The annual campaign is organised by TABLE FOR TWO International (TFT), a non-profit organisation working to solve global food problems.

The United Nations estimates released in November 2024 report that the number of hungry people worldwide as of 2023 is approximately 757.2 million.

In the 2024 edition of the "State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World" by the five UN specialised agencies, released in July 20024  it is estimated that even though enough food is produced to feed everyone on the planet, one in 11 people does not have enough to eat and is in a state of hunger.

Epson provides environmental, social, and economic assistance to achieve sustainability and enrich communities. Among these, Epson has set out nine actions to be taken. Since "eliminating inequality" and "supporting children" are in line with the very purpose of the Onigiri Action, Epson decided to sponsor the Onigiri Action again this year.

Epson will continue working with customers and partners to solve societal issues and enrich people and the planet.
