Editor's Notes

  • #3 Proprietary & Confidential
  • #17 Proprietary & Confidential Toner Cartridge Recycling . Canon Consumer Products Recycling Program – Printers, scanners, multifunction printers and fax machines are eligible for recycling under this program Business Copier Remanufacturing Program – Outfitting older copiers with current parts and added new features and/or functions since 1993. The New Model contains new, reconditioned and/or recovered parts. Green Procurement Green procurement refers to the practice of purchasing products and services that minimize environmental burden. Canon purchases many parts from outside suppliers. In 1997, we established the Green Procurement Standards, which we apply when deciding which suppliers to use, based on self-evaluations and inspections.
  • #19 Proprietary & Confidential This slide presents Canon’s Global environmental Goal, which is: for all of Canon companies world wide to actively pursue maximization of resource efficiency In order to maximize our resource efficiency Canon has a vision for 2010 referred to as Factor 2 Factor 2 is an overall index by which we plan to at least double our resource efficiency, based on our performance from the year 2000. To achieve this target we will work to enhance the quality of our products and services, while using the same amount of resources. An example of what it means to reduce our environmental factor by 2 (***click***) is developing the technology and efficiency to drive our car twice the distance on the same amount of fuel we’re using. …… that’s exactly what we want to do at Canon with all of our products and services. Raw material procurement, production, logistics, sales, use, collection and recycling) in 2010 should at least be twice the number of 2000 (“Factor 2”) . Factor 2 for 2005 (last year measured) was 1.87
