Canon Sustainability Report 2018

Editorial Policy
Every year Canon publishes the Canon Sustainability Report to share information on the diverse initiatives it is undertaking to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. This year, the report includes four “Highlights” articles about material topics relating to Canon’s CSR. It also explains how Canon’s CSR activities intersect with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The report aims to be comprehensive in nature, providing a range of CSR information in line with the global disclosure guidelines in the GRI Standards for sustainability reporting, and based on the specific nature of Canon’s operations. Chapter headings include “Creating New Value and Solving Social Issues Through Business Activities,” “Environment,” “Human Rights and Labor,” “Social Contribution,” “Product Responsibility,” and “Management Structure.” The report has been prepared in accordance with the Core option of the GRI Standards.

Scope of the Report and Period Covered
In principle, this report covers Canon’s economic, social and environmental activities within the scope of consolidated accounting for 2017 (January 1 to December 31, 2017). The scope of environmental reporting is not limited to activities (development, production, and sales) at operational sites. Rather, it covers every stage of the product lifecycle, including raw materials and parts manufacturing by suppliers, as well as product use by customers. Supplemental information on important targets, indicators, and initiatives prior to and beyond 2017 is referenced in this report. Information specific to a region or organization is indicated as such.
