| Canon’s Procurement Policy establishes our basic stance on procurement, with the emphasis placed on observing corporate ethics, environmental conservation, and fair and equitable business conduct. We have also formulated the Canon Supplier Code of Conduct, based on the RBA Code of Conduct. The latter has been translated into over 20 languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. We are working to develop a socially responsible global supply chain on issues such as labor, occupational health and safety, the environment, corporate ethics and management systems. Our Procurement Policy and the Canon Supplier Code of Conduct are published on our website to inform all stakeholders. |
| To strengthen cooperation with suppliers, the annual conference of all our major global suppliers is utilized to explain procurement policies, request compliance with the Canon Supplier Code of Conduct, and report on related activities. In addition, we raise awareness of the code by conducting an annual survey of our suppliers worldwide, while also asking first-tier suppliers to ensure their supply chain (Canon’s second-tier suppliers) understand and comply with the Canon Supplier Code of Conduct. |
