Corporate Social Responsibility

At the heart of Canon is a corporate culture dedicated to contributing to society through its business operations. Through diversification and globalisation, we excel in the areas of advanced technologies, global business deployment, and diverse specialised human resources.

Capitalising on these strengths with the aim of contributing to the betterment of society as a good corporate citizen, we established the Canon Group CSR Activity Policy in January 2012. As part of this policy, we define five areas of priority, or ‘key activities’, for the Canon Group to address.

Following the CSR Activity Policy ensures that the entire Canon Group shares a core set of values while pursuing CSR activities specifically tailored to individual countries and regions. Our goal is to create a corporate group that grows together with society.

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP):

At Canon, our corporate philosophy is Kyosei – living and working together for the common good. Introduced in 1988, this philosophy clarifies Canon’s stance on partnerships formed with stakeholders in the region and defines how we, as an organisation, interact with our stakeholders, including the Traditional Custodians of the Land upon which we operate here in Australia.

Kyosei envisions the achievement of a sustainable society in which all people regardless of race, religion or culture, live harmoniously and respectfully to work together into the future. It is through alignment of the Kyosei philosophy with that of Reconciliation Australia that Canon Australia has decided to commit to a Reconciliation Action Plan.
