SHAH ALAM, 19 JULY 2024 - Canon Marketing Malaysia (“Canon”) continues its legacy for sustainability leadership by winning yet another accolade at the annual Sustainability and CSR Malaysia Awards. This marks a remarkable seven-year streak where Canon has been recognised for its impactful initiatives in environmental and social responsibility, solidifying its roles as a frontrunner in these crucial areas. By prioritising these aspects, Canon demonstrates its unwavering commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact.
The ceremony, held on the 18th of July, bestowed the Company of the Year award upon Canon honouring its efforts in the Excellence in Sustainability. This recognition is a testament to Canon's dedication to building a better future through various initiatives and strategic partnerships. For years, Canon has consistently demonstrated leadership in this arena, continuously seeking innovative ways to make a positive social and environmental impact.
In 2023, Canon's environmental efforts went beyond the award-winning initiatives. The nationwide year-long tree-planting campaign, "One Canon One Tree," achieved a remarkable milestone. This ambitious project touched numerous key states, fostering collaboration with local organisations. The campaign not only served to promote a greener Malaysia but also provided valuable opportunities for Canon to give back to and empower the local communities, solidifying Canon's commitment to building a sustainable future together.
Canon's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility isn't simply a reflection of industry trends but the embodiment of its corporate Kyosei philosophy, which means "living and working together for the common good”. By prioritising these practices, Canon strengthens its connection to this philosophy. This gives back to the communities it serves ensures a future in which society thrives alongside Canon.
"This award is a tremendous affirmation of the hard work and dedication our entire Canon family has invested in long-term sustainability. We are deeply honoured to be recognised once again, and this acknowledgment inspires us to continue this legacy," shared Masato Yoshiie, President and CEO of Canon Marketing Malaysia. "We are constantly exploring new and innovative ways to make a positive impact, and we eagerly look forward to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead."
Demonstrating its commitment to exploring new avenues for environmental action, Canon recently ventured into the realm of ocean conservation. Recognising the power of visual storytelling to inspire and educate, Canon hosted a unique workshop focused on ocean photography and conservation, providing a platform for participants to learn valuable photography skills while fostering a deeper understanding of the critical need for ocean protection.
Leveraging a commitment to innovation and collaborative partnerships, Canon has solidified its position as a leader in driving sustainable practices. This recognition extends beyond individual accolades, reflecting a long-term strategy focused on impactful initiatives and empowering local communities.
