Canon EMEA Environment Charter

Takanobu Nakamasu, Executive Vice President, Document Solutions Business Unit explains the importance of sustainability to Canon’s business, through a short video.
We follow a ‘Produce – Use – Recycle’ approach to environmental sustainability, which entails managing our products in ways that support a circular economy - from design to end-of-life. Our approach also reduces the Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs) from our operations and helps customers to reduce theirs through energy efficient products.
We aim to reduce the environmental impact of our products right from the start of the manufacturing process, so that they use fewer new raw materials, are more energy efficient and avoid waste throughout their life.
Our customers can save money and reduce their environmental impact by using our products, services and solutions. Innovations and improvements mean our products use less energy and fewer consumables.
We are managing natural resources in ways that contribute to a circular economy, with an emphasis on increasing our sales of reconditioned devices.
