Diversity & Equality Statement

Can I achieve my full potential?

Yes You Can – Canon welcomes every aspect of diversity and wants every Canon employee to work in an open and supportive environment which enables them to contribute their best to Canon's success as well as their own.

Simply the best
Diversity is about ensuring that our organisation attracts, retains and utilises the full potential of the best people available to us in the labour market, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability. We need the best employees to help maintain our world-class status and excel beyond the competition, so we must ensure that the best people want to join and then stay with Canon.

The Canon culture
Canon's global philosophy of Kyosei – living and working together for the common good – is an essential part of our culture and recognises the importance of diversity and equality in everything we do. Through the Canon brand, customers expect us to be second to none when it comes to treating our employees fairly. 3 Selfs serves to remind everyone in Canon to embrace this to benefit our people, customers and business partners.

Helping achieve our goals
By valuing the diversity and harnessing the unique ideas, opinions, perspectives and talents of all who work for and with us we can enhance the organisation, our performance, our brand and our ability to achieve our goals.
