Truly global companies must foster good relations, not only with their customers and the communities in which they operate, but also with nations and the environment. They must also bear the responsibility for the impact of their activities on society. For this reason, Canon's goal is to contribute to global prosperity and the well-being of mankind, which will lead to continuing growth and bring the world closer to achieving kyosei.
Each year Canon Australia awards five grants to the sum of $5,000 to projects or organisations that can demonstrate a positive impact on Australia’s natural environment and communities.
On awarding of the five grants, each recipient will be given their choice of $5,000 of Canon equipment – including digital compact and DSLR cameras, video cameras, binoculars, projectors, multi-function printers, water-proof cameras and more. Selection is based on the environmental merits of each group’s nominated project, as well as the importance of the products to realising its success.
