Environmental Vision 2050/ 2030 Medium-Term Environmental Targets/ Environmental Policy

The Canon Marketing Japan Group (hereafter, the "Canon MJ Group") is promoting sustainability management based on the Canon Group's corporate philosophy of Kyosei and has formulated the Canon MJ Group Environmental Vision 2050 and the Canon MJ Group 2030 Medium-Term Environmental Targets, which are interim targets, toward the realization of a sustainable society.

Regarding climate actions, recent years have seen an acceleration of movements around the world toward decarbonization, including the signing of the Paris Agreement. Initiatives towards the achievement of carbon neutrality have also made progress in Japan. Those initiatives include the government's declaration to achieve carbon neutrality and revise the CO2 reduction target. In association with resource recycling, plastics pose a global environmental issue. In the global community, businesses are required to manage their activities in consideration of the environment, including their actions to slow climate change, recycle resources and conserve biodiversity.
In view of these and other demands from society, we have formulated the Canon MJ Group Environmental Vision 2050, which we aim to achieve by 2050, and the Canon MJ Group 2030 Medium-Term Environmental Targets, which are interim targets toward the realization of a sustainable society, as described below.

Canon MJ Group Environmental Vision 2050

At the Canon Marketing Japan Group, we drive sustainability management by regarding global environmental problems as our important management issues.
We help society and customers solve their environmental issues with the power of ICT and people.

  1. Realization of carbon neutrality

    We strive not only to achieve carbon neutrality for ourselves but also to reduce CO2 emissions from our value chain, including customers.

  2. Contribution to the realization of a resource-recycling society

    We work to achieve zero waste emissions, control water risks, and reduce water consumption.

  3. Contribution to biodiversity conservation and pollution prevention
