Canon Canada’s parent company Canon Inc. garners recognition as a sustainability program leader in hardcopy equipment.
BRAMPTON, Ontario (March 5, 2024) – Canon Inc., the parent company of Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced earlier this month that it was named a “Leader” in “IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Sustainability Programs and Services Hardcopy 2023 Vendor Assessment*.” This report marks its first corporate assessment from the perspective of sustainability.
The survey evaluated 11 of the world’s hardcopy vendors across metrics such as corporate strategies, business operations and products in the context of sustainability. As sustainability initiatives have recently become crucial in business decision-making, companies who are procuring printing-related products or services can use the results of this survey as a guide when selecting vendors.
According to IDC MarketScape, “Organizations should consider Canon if they are looking for a hardcopy vendor that offers a holistic approach to cover every facet of sustainability, spanning business operations, products and business models, and governance/compliance. Canon should also be considered by those organizations looking for a supplier that can help the company advance its own sustainability objectives through the deployment of innovative solutions and technology.”
Since 1988, Canon has adopted the corporate philosophy of “Kyosei” and has aspired to create a society in which all people live and work together harmoniously into the future, regardless of culture, custom, language or ethnicity. Based on this corporate philosophy, Canon is among those at the forefront of initiatives to help build harmonious relationships with the Earth and the natural environment. Since 2008, the company has been working to achieve lifecycle improvements in many of its products, by making a number of them more energy efficient, compact and lightweight, and by boosting efficiency in manufacturing, logistics and recycling, among other things.
“Canon’s commitment to sustainability is an integral part of the company’s business practices and culture. Our Kyosei philosophy shapes every decisions and ensures we take responsibility for the impact we have on our environment. Canon Canada supports the sustainability efforts of not only its parent company, Canon Inc., but all Canon companies worldwide.”
Canon is committed to continue actively working toward the realization of a sustainable society through all of its corporate activities.
