CANON has announced it has secured EcoVadis Platinum status for the second consecutive year.
The performance places the company in the top 1% of businesses rated worldwide for sustainability performance.
EcoVadis evaluates companies across four categories: environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Canon’s overall score improved from 85/100 to 89/100.
Canon is aiming to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout entire product life cycles by 2050. The firm 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, Canon has formulated the Canon Group Human Rights Policy as a declaration of its stance on human rights.
“We are so proud of achieving the EcoVadis Platinum rating for the second consecutive year,” said Peter Bragg, EMEA sustainability & government affairs director at Canon EMEA. “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.”
