Society – Socially responsible business

We aim to fulfil our corporate social responsibilities to all our stakeholders. Our Kyosei philosophy is our vision for all people, regardless of race, politics, gender, ability, religion or culture to live and work together in harmony.

This includes:
• Respecting our customers
• Guiding our employees
• Supporting the communities where we operate
• Reducing our impacts on the natural environment.

Our stakeholders range from investors, NGOs and customers, to local communities, our employees and suppliers. We have responsibilities to each group and work to fulfil their expectations and our obligations to them. We help our employees understand their role in supporting the business as we strive to operate fairly and ethically, while promoting sustainable economic growth.

Picture_banner_SocietyWe engage with organisations, individuals and communities where we operate; helping tackle social and health issues and promoting wealth and income creation. We invest in regional and local projects and bring our corporate social responsibility activities to life in the communities we depend on.

Areas of support
Our sponsorship and partnerships cover five areas. These reflect us as an imaging company and our corporate philosophy.

  • Art and culture: including sponsorship of London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, and the London Symphony Orchestra

  • Sport: our long-term sponsorship of football continues with UEFA EURO 2012 and the Danone Nations Cup, promoting youth football

  • Education and science: the Canon Foundation promotes cultural and scientific understanding between Europe and Japan

  • Humanitarian: our Red Cross support ranges from donations to relief efforts for major disasters to helping disadvantaged young people

  • Environmental conservation: we have been a conservation partner to WWF since 1998.
