Canon Inc. has announced its inclusion in the CDP's 2025 climate A List, earning recognition from the London, England-based international nonprofit organization for its leadership in climate action and transparency. This marks Canon's fourth inclusion on the CDP climate A List.

The CDP sends questionnaires to major corporations and municipalities worldwide, requesting the disclosure of information on climate action, water resource management and other environmental initiatives, and evaluates responses to assess each organization’s approach to environmental issues. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were scored out of more than 22,000 reporting through CDP's platform.

Canon pursues its philosophy of kyosei by promoting both enriched lifestyles and the environment. To this end, the company has identified four priority areas — climate change, resource efficiency, chemical substances and biodiversity — and promotes environmental conservation activities in tandem with its business operations. Canon aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire product life cycle (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% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions (categories 1 and 11) compared to 2022 levels.

To achieve these targets, Canon is implementing a wide range of initiatives to reduce environmental impact throughout the life cycles of its products, including energy-saving activities at production sites and more advanced resource efficiency through product reuse and recycling. Canon ensures the accuracy of its greenhouse gas emissions data through third-party verification. Canon views its inclusion on the A List as recognition of its ongoing efforts in these areas.
