30 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Canon’s Basic Approach to CSR
Canon recognizes that its corporate activities are sup-
ported by the development of society as a whole, and
contributes to the realization of a better society as a
good corporate citizen, effectively leveraging its ad-
vanced technological strengths, global business deploy-
ment, and diverse, specialized human resources.
Environmental Activities
Canon Selected by CDP as Leading Company in
Climate Change Information Disclosure
In 2014, CDP, an international nonprofit organization
(NPO) that conducts environmental assessments, selected
Canon for the first time as a leading company in climate
change information disclosure under its environmental
ratings. Canon was recognized for its initiatives such as
the effort to ensure transparency by obtaining third par-
ty verification of its greenhouse gas emissions data.
LEED Certification
In February 2014, Canon Americas Headquarters re-
ceived the Gold certification of the international stan-
dard LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design) as a highly resource-efficient, green building. In
Guided by its kyosei (“living and
working together for the common
good”) philosophy, Canon is promoting
CSR activities with the aim of becoming
a truly excellent corporation that is
admired and respected the world over.
Canon U.S.A. has made various efforts to reduce the environ-
mental impact of its headquarters building including incorporat-
ing natural light and installing a rainwater capture and storage
system that uses greenery.
Canon India Pvt. Ltd. rolls out continuously various community welfare programs in the three areas of eye care, education and environment
in villages without adequate educational and healthcare facilities. For example, we improve school facilities by setting up resource centers for
children and installing solar panels. We also help villagers by providing eye check-ups with Canon’s retinal cameras. (Ferozepur Namak Village)
