Kyosei Philosophy |
|
|
|
|
|
At the core of Canon's brand, business, and sponsorship initiatives lies Kyosei, a Japanese word meaning "living and working together for the common good ". Aware of the fragility of social, economic, and environmental balance in international trade, we have made it our mission to be an excellent global corporation by conducting business with commitment and integrity, giving back to the communities in which we live, and caring for this earth that we share.
Canon products are designed to benefit our customers beyond satisfaction and also to help them join in on our collective effort to preserve our environment. Environmental considerations are prioritized from initial stages of product development through to product recycling in order to minimize our carbon footprints and ensure sustainable development. For this, Canon has garnered an ISO 14001 certification – a certificate granted to companies who consciously reduce harmful effects on the environment in their activities.
Beyond Canon's company activities, Kyosei is practiced through Canon's participation and sponsorship of environmental preservation efforts, educational aid, and the relief, support, and empowerment of those in need.
The Canon Kyosei philosophy is the fabric of everything we do and is applied to every level of our operations and interactions. We believe that being good corporate citizens is not merely a responsibility- it is a necessary step towards a better future for all.

Inspired by Kyosei - Canon's corporate philosophy of living and working together for the common good- we embrace environmental responsibility & accountability as a crucial part of being an excellent global corporation.
Canon's products are crafted with you and our environment in mind, from conception and manufacturing where we insist on green procurement and environmental technology to create environmentally conscious products through to the product's life cycle, where you can enjoy Canon technology with a clear environmental conscience.
We strive to thread lightly wherever we go, and invite you to join us on this effort through our Canon ink and toner cartridge recycling programme.

Guided by Canon's corporate philosophy of Kyosei- living and working together for the common good- we take our corporate responsibilities to heart.

Latest adventures:
Canon has been providing photography equipment and training to special schools since April 2007. Teachers are trained to guide the students along with basic photography skills as they explore the joys of creative expression through photography.
Shoot photos, not animals! [3rd November 2007]
Our Corporate Communications team had a blast at the Singapore Zoo hunting for photo ops with students from three special schools- Metta School, APSN Katong School, and APSN Centre for Adults. The day was packed to the brim with tram rides, a mini photo contest, a fun educational zoo programme, and of course, intriguing animals. This outing is a part of the Canon Photography Exchange Programme, which is all about sharing the joy of photography with the less privileged.

Grand Prix: The F1 Legend Through Photography by Bernard and Paul-Henri Cahier
Racing legends like Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher might be considered the fastest in the F1 business, but even they cannot escape capture through the lens of the legendary F1 photographer Paul-Henri Cahier. Since 1952, the Cahier family has been following all the races of the Formula 1 Championship. Paul-Henri Cahier started in the footsteps of his father Bernard Cahier as early as 1968, capturing the thrill and passion of the sports through his Canon EOS cameras.
View the extraordinary collection of the Cahier Archive in this groundbreaking photo exhibition proudly sponsored by Canon, and trace the development of F1 through the years. Paul-Henri Cahier’s distinctive eye for great pictures delivered a distinct blend of art and sports photography, and he quickly rose to become one of the most prominent photographers in the racing circuit.
