Kyosei: Canon's Corporate Philosophy
Canon introduced its philosophy of kyosei in 1988, the 51st year since our founding. This philosophy clarifies Canon's stance on partnerships formed with stakeholders around the world.
Kyosei means aspiring to a society in which all people, regardless of race, religion, or culture, harmoniously live and work together for the common good into the future.
While society today is prospering as a result of various changes, including economic globalization and the networking of information, mankind is also facing serious problems, such as those involving the environment and resources, which transcend national and regional boundaries.
In this time, Canon is pursuing the realization of a sustainable global society based upon our philosophy of kyosei to contribute to global prosperity and the well-being of mankind.
