Canon's CSR Approach
The spirit of contributing to society through our business has taken root in Canon's corporate culture, and we conducted various CSR activities accordingly. As the diversification and globalization of our business progresses, people's expectations of and attention to Canon also increase, and the social responsibilities that we must meet continue to grow. It is against the backdrop of this evolving social environment that we inaugurated the Canon Group CSR Activity Policy in January 2012, stemming from our understanding of the importance of a consolidated Group approach possessing clearly delineated action categories.
A company cannot endure and develop without the development of society as a whole. Canon therefore seeks to be a good corporate citizen, contributing to the realization of a better society while pursuing growth through sound and fair business practices. We employ our resources, namely technology and human resources, and develop our business to that purpose, seeking to offer contributions that take the needs of the global community as well as local communities into consideration.
Henceforth, the CSR Division will be the focus of our efforts in this regard, with our CSR Activity Policy shared across the entire Canon Group. Canon will meet the expectations of our stakeholders through the major efforts described in the CSR Activity Policy.
