Being a responsible and
sustainable business is in our DNA

We're a responsible business choice with the measures we have in place to ensure effective governance around product and chemical safety, ethical and sustainable procurement practices and compliance with regulation.

We are committed to managing human rights and preventing modern slavery in our supply chains.

Respecting Human Rights

To ensure consistent fair practice in areas including human rights, labour, and the environment, we report our annual sustainability performance to the UN Global Compact, the world's largest voluntary corporate sustainability Initiative and The Responsible Business Alliance, the leading industry coalition dedicated to corporate social responsibility in global supply chains.

ENSURING PRODUCT & SERVICES ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE

In the EMEA region we are proud signatories of the UN Global Compact, and all Canon Group companies are members of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA).
