Striving for harmony in work and life

Environmentally friendly practices are at the core of Canon's business operations

    AT the heart of Canon's business philosophy is a single Japanese word kyosei, which broadly translates to: "living and working together for the common good".

    The Japanese brand, however, has a broader, more ambitious definition for the word. Through their various business activities, the consumer electronics giant strives to have "all people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together in the future".

    Canon translates this noble goal to concrete action by creating highly functional and user-friendly products that are also environmentally friendly.
