Canon achieves EcoVadis Platinum status
This is the second consecutive year that Canon has placed in the top 1 percent of businesses worldwide for sustainability.
Canon has earned EcoVadis Platinum status for the second consecutive year, placing it in the top 1 percent of businesses worldwide for sustainability performance.
EcoVadis evaluates over 150,000 companies spanning 185 countries and 250 industries across four categories: environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Canon's overall score improved to 89/100, up from 85/100 in 2025.
Canon’s performance highlights its dedication to sustainability, leading to high scores in all four categories. Canon received particularly high marks in the environment and labour & human rights categories.
In the environmental field, Canon aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire product life cycles (scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2050. Canon has also set science-based GHG emissions reduction targets in line with SBTi standards: By 2030, a 42 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 25 percent 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 and implements human rights due diligence throughout the entire group.
'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 percent of rated organizations motivates us to continue raising the bar for sustainability in our industry.'
