The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards is a project designed to encourage, acknowledge and publicise businesses and other organisations, which are striving to improve their environmental performance. Canon came third in the Best Big/Mid sized companies with Medium environmental impact category and 13th overall in the UK’s Top 50 companies demonstrating ‘green’ behaviour. Canon also took 3rd position for Best Green Companies in South East of the country (based on HQ locations). Judges looked at how engaged employees were with company aims and whether organisations ‘practised what they preached’. Some 77% felt Canon was doing everything it could to minimise environmental impact, whilst 84% knew what ISO14001 was – the fourth highest score out of all the companies which participated.
