Under the corporate philosophy “Kyosei,” Canon maintains a deep commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Following half a century of operations, Canon adopted Kyosei as its corporate philosophy in 1988, clearly expressing the company’s firm commitment to working together with stakeholders around the world. Kyosei is the aspiration to create a society in which all people, regardless of race, language or culture, harmoniously live and work together for the common good into the future.
Our dedication to Kyosei guides our vision of protecting and preserving our most precious resources—the world we share, the communities we serve and the lives we touch. We do this through environmental, conservation, recycling and sustainability initiatives. We also practice Kyosei through social and educational programs on behalf of young people and those in need. This determination to live and work together for the common good permeates everything we do: from research and development, to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution.
At Canon, we believe every manufacturer has a responsibility to ensure that its operations and practices are environmentally sound. We apply this standard of environmental respect to all aspects of our operations. At every step, we make energy and resource conservation and the elimination of hazardous substances our most important goals. That is why Canon is recognized for producing some of the world's most energy-efficient products.
Kyosei also drives our commitment to establish good relations, with our customers and the communities in which we operate. This is our corporate philosophy, and it unites all Canon companies and employees together in contributing to the prosperity of humanity and protecting the world we share.
