To decide company ratings, the EcoVadis CSP analysis system assesses 21 criteria across four themes of environment, fair labour practices, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. In order to achieve a rating, Canon submitted data relating to CSR practices across our business to support these themes.
“We are pleased to have been awarded a gold rating from EcoVadis for the fifth year in a row. Demonstrating why our customers and Partners can trust in our sustainability credentials”, commented Stuart Poore, EMEA Director of Sustainability and Government Affairs.
