areas with a long-term business perspective, promptly
incorporating the results of these research efforts into our
technology to produce the world's No. 1 products. At Canon, they
will continue to pursue technological innovation toward the
realization of our goal to create new value.
 Research into Basic Technologies. New technologies are
fostered through intense exchanges of ideas by experts from
various technological fields and the results are incorporated
into their products. This is how Canon creates product value.

15. Procurement / Production / Quality /
Distribution
 Pursuing Quality and Productivity with a Focus on the Environment. By
taking advantage of the abundant expertise and IT they have accumulated
over many years, Canon carries out manufacturing in a way that is rational
and thoroughly eliminates waste. In terms of raw material procurement,
production, quality, distribution and recycling, they have established
manufacturing systems that focus on the entire product lifecycle and continue

environmental initiatives.

16.  Globally Optimized Production To realize globally optimized production,
Canon comprehensively considers such factors as costs, distribution,
procurement, labor and environmental impact when determining the most
appropriate locations for production bases.
 They also promote local production for local consumption, in which
everything from manufacturing to sales and recycling is carried out within a
single region. At our U.S. production site in Virginia, which handles the
localized production of toner cartridges, the creation of automated
production lines has made possible increased productivity, space savings,
reduced costs and high quality.
