Key highlights from the report include:
- Canon Oceania has re-aligned its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction plans to support Canon Group’s global targets approved by SBTi, to reduce its absolute emissions compared to 2022 by 42% for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and 25% for Scope 3 emissions.
- Investment from Canon Oceania in ANZRP lead to the creation of RESIN8, a lightweight, low-carbon material made from hard-to-recycle e-waste plastic that would otherwise go to landfill. RESIN8 improves the performance of structural concrete products and contributes to developing local circular economy capability.
- Throughout 2023, Canon Australia continued to invest in and rebuild retail storefronts to ensure ongoing support for local and regional economic development.
- Canon ran a photography workshop for 10 Anangu youth from three Aboriginal communities across NPY Lands in remote Australia.
