Canon | Social and Cultural Support Activities | Canon's Social and Cultural Support Activities

With the progress of globalization, corporate social responsibility is an increasingly important issue.

Under our corporate philosophy of kyosei, the range of Canon's social and cultural support activities has expanded to cover such areas as humanitarian aid and disaster relief, conservation of the environment, social welfare, local communities, education and science, and art, culture and sports. In the past several years, many parts of the world have suffered natural disasters. In response, Canon has made and collected monetary donations, while its employees have volunteered in a range of support activities, including visiting afflicted areas to offer assistance.

In its activities, Canon's support, not limited to short intervals of time, provides ongoing assistance to people and organizations in need. Its aim is to provide wide-ranging support by working in partnership with groups that have a broad outlook and inclusive values.

Canon will continue to make the best possible use of the resources it has built up over many years, such as its personnel, capital, technologies and infrastructure, working as a good corporate citizen to tackle problems and contributing to a society in which all people can live their lives to the fullest.
