March 07, 2008 Corporate strategy conference

Canon's corporate philosophy is of Kyosei aims to "achieve corporate growth and development while contributing to the prosperity of the world and the happiness of humankind."

We are fully aware that Canon's corporate activities have an increasingly greater impact upon the people of the world and the global environment, and we are therefore working in a variety of ways to strengthen our corporate social responsibility initiatives.
