Caring for the earth and its inhabitants is at the very heart of everything Canon does – and one of the many ways the company innovates and strives to be at the forefront of efforts in reducing the environmental impacts of its business activities.
THE ENVIRONMENT
The impact of human activities on the environment exceeds the environmental capacity of the Earth, bringing about such crises as global warming and depletion of natural resources and jeopardizing the global ecosystem. It is necessary to realize a sustainable society by carrying out initiatives aimed at a low-carbon society, a recycling-based society, and a society that coexists with nature.

Eco-efficiency for business processes
The goal of Canon Medical is to increase eco-efficiency for business processes. In line with this, Canon Medical Systems applies this approach also when it comes to construction of buildings in order to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce consumption of municipal water, and restore the natural cycle by draining rainwater into the ground. As significant measures to recycle water, we introduced a water-permeable construction and a grey-water system. We have also employed measures such as installation of energy- saving light fixtures to significantly reduce the amount of CO2emitted due to the consumption of electricity.
