Our Legacy and Foundation
We're a leading technology company, founded in Japan in 1937, and we're dedicated to helping people reimagine and push the boundaries of what is possible through imaging.
We employ over 182,000 people in marketing and manufacturing facilities across Japan, the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Kyosei is our corporate philosophy and lies at the heart of our brand, business and sponsorship activities. Kyosei is a Japanese word that means living and working together for the common good - a principle that is embraced by all Canon employees. It shapes our mission and our values, the way we treat our people and conduct our business.

Sustainability at Canon
We are transforming the way we operate and manufacture to shape a more sustainable world for people and for our planet.
We are also focused on being a responsible partner to our customers by helping them meet their sustainability commitments.
CO2 Reduction
We aim to achieve carbon net zero emissions by 2050 in line with the Paris Agreement. This involves consistent action across our entire business from operations, manufacturing and transportation to product design and packaging.
We have set near term goals for 2030 and have submitted these to SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) for transparency and verification.
Circular Business
Our ambition is to become a circular business. Where every single product and material is designed, created, reused, repaired, and recycled in a closed loop.
Through innovative manufacturing we design out waste and help keep our products and materials in use for longer.
Educational and Youth Programmes
Young people deserve and need to have a voice in shaping the future of our world.
We empower young people to share their story through imaging in collaboration with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and with the support of our Canon Ambassadors as programme delivery partners.
