Canon Australia’s Gender Pay Gap Data

Since the last reporting period (2023/2024), Canon Australia’s

• total remuneration gender pay gap (both average and median) has reduced, and

• base salary gender pay gap (both average and median) has also reduced.

From an industry benchmark perspective, Canon Australia’s

• total remuneration and base salary gender pay gap (both average and median) are lower than the industry, and

• median base salary pay gap is negative, meaning that the mid-point of women’s salaries is higher than the mid-point of men’s salaries.

Many roles in our industry have been traditionally male dominated. As a result, there are more men working for Canon Australia than women, shown by a lower percentage of women across all quartiles. However, there has been an increase of women in the Upper Middle and Upper quartiles compared to 2023-2024.

We recognise that there is a significant imbalance of women at the executive level, so there is still work to do, however the initiatives we have put in place are starting to show progress towards creating equity in our workplace. To continue our progress, in 2026 we will be implementing reforms to Canon Oceania’s Talent Acquisition Policy, increases to paid parental leave and increased support for people experiencing family and domestic violence.

Ongoing, Canon will continue to focus on initiatives that will close the gender pay gap and create equity in our workplace.
