Policies
| 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 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. We have also formulated the Canon Supplier Code of Conduct, based on the RBA Code of Conduct that has been translated into more than 20 languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. In July 2024, we also formulated and distributed to suppliers the Canon Sustainability Supplier Guidelines, which summarize our initiatives for addressing climate change, human rights, and other important issues related to sustainability; requests for supplier cooperation and surveys; and the standards set out in the Canon Supplier Code of Conduct and Green Procurement Standards. Based on these guidelines, we will continue to strengthen sustainable procurement in our supply chain. Our Procurement Policy and the Canon Sustainability Supplier Guidelines are published on our website to inform all stakeholders. |

To strengthen cooperation with suppliers, the procurement annual meeting with our major suppliers is utilized to explain procurement policies, request compliance with the Canon Sustainability Supplier Guidelines, 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 Sustainability Supplier Guidelines.
