Corporate Social Responsibility
We are responsible for the impact we make on society and the environment, and we are proud of our tradition of protecting natural resources and our commitment to sustainable business practices.
Kyosei, a philosophy that shapes our commitment to a sustainable future
Our corporate philosophy—“All people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future”—influences and infuses everything we do: research and development of our products; relationships with our customers and our colleagues; and resources for our community and environmental initiatives.
The Clean Earth Campaign
Canon Americas launched its Clean Earth Campaign in 1990 as its formal commitment to environmental conservation. Recognized as one of the continent’s leading corporate environmental management programs, the campaign guides all workplace conservation and recycling activities.
ENERGY STAR®
As part of our commitment to reduce our environmental impact, Canon Canada participates in the ENERGY STAR® program. Canon has approximately 200 ENERGY STAR certified products that incorporate advanced energy-efficient technologies, without compromising features or performance, such as energy-saver mode and automatic duplex settings. ENERGY STAR certified products cost about the same as standard imaging equipment, but use less energy. This reduces the amount of fossil fuels burned to produce electricity and causes fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Canon Canada was named one of Canada's Greenest Employers for 2025. The award recognizes employers leading the way in creating a culture of environmental awareness.
