Canon has earned EcoVadis Platinum status for the second consecutive year, placing the company in the top 1% of businesses rated worldwide for sustainability performance.

The group’s strong performance highlights its comprehensive dedication to sustainability, leading to high scores in all categories. Canon received particularly high marks in the categories of environment and labour and human rights. 

In the environmental field, the company aims to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout entire product life cycles (scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2050. Canon has also set science based GHG emissions reduction targets in line with SBTi standards: by 2030, a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions (categories 1 and 11) compared to 2022 levels.

Furthermore, the company has formulated the Canon Group Human Rights Policy as a declaration of its stance on human rights and implements human rights due diligence throughout the entire group.

‘We are so proud of achieving the EcoVadis Platinum rating for the second consecutive year,’ said Peter Bragg, EMEA sustainability and government affairs director. ‘This ongoing recognition, alongside our improved overall score, serves as powerful validation of our commitment to sustainable business practices and our continuous drive to positively influence our environmental and social footprint. Retaining our Platinum status and remaining among the top 1% of rated organisations motivates us to continue raising the bar for sustainability in our industry.’
