Support for the SmartWay program reinforces Canon’s commitment to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are associated with daily business operations.  Canon follows a corporate philosophy known as kyosei – “all people, regardless of race, religion, or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future.”  Canon is one of the leading corporate supporters of the environment in the U.S., and kyosei is the foundation on which Canon’s environmental conservation efforts are based.  We are working closely with all Canon U.S.A. businesses and vendors to further develop a system of measuring and reducing the impact our operations have on the environment.

"At the heart of Canon’s commitment to the environment is the belief that we are building a better world for all generations to follow.  To succeed, we must take responsibility for preserving the ecology of our planet today."

Kinya Uchida
President & CEO, Canon U.S.A., Inc

"For some time now, Canon has been practicing energy conservation to conserve energy resources and to do our part to prevent global warming.  Each Canon operation around the world has been assigned by our parent company, Canon Inc., the responsibility of reducing CO2 emissions.  The specifics for each region’s program are under development, with an overall target of a 20 percent reduction by 2006.  Canon U.S.A.’s participation in the U.S. EPA’s SmartWay program is one of the measures we are undertaking to achieve this goal."

James J. Gordon Jr.
Vice President & General Manager, Logistics Division Canon U.S.A., Inc.
