BRAMPTON, Ontario (July 19, 2024) – Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce that it has been recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of Canada’s Best Employers for Diversity 2024. This is the third consecutive year Canon Canada has been included in Forbes’ ranking of companies that excel in creating diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces.

 

This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, who surveyed approximately 40,000 Canadian workers. The survey was conducted using several online access panels, providing a representative sample of the Canadian workforce. Participants anonymously rated their companies on diversity-related issues, including age, gender, ethnicity, disability and LGBTQ+ equality. The evaluation was based on both personal recommendations (given by employees) and public recommendations (given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry). Responses from the past three years were taken into account. More weight was given to recommendations from current employees and from people belonging to underrepresented groups.

 

“Canon Canada is proud to have a workforce that reflects the diversity of the country,” says Leena Nagpal, Vice-President, People and Operations, Canon Canada. “It’s important that employees know they’re valued, respected and supported, and that embracing everyone’s diverse thoughts and experiences makes us a stronger company. This recognition as one of Canada’s Best Employers for Diversity is a testament to our commitment to integrate diversity, equality and inclusion in all areas of our company, and it inspires us to amplify our efforts even more in the future.”
