The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) recommends that companies establish a grievance mechanism as an early-warning risk-awareness system for responsible minerals sourcing in the "OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas."
Parties with specific concerns and information regarding circumstances of extraction, trade, handling and export of minerals in conflict/high-risk regions as they pertain to Canon product supply chains (such as facts indicating that those minerals are the source of funds for armed groups in conflict-affected areas or are related to human rights violations) may voice to Canon through this website.
Through its supply chain, Canon will investigate the information provided to it, and take corrective action based on the "Canon Group Basic Policy on Responsible Minerals Sourcing" in cases where such action is necessary.
With the exception of the following items, Canon will handle personal information in accordance with the "Canon Inc. Privacy Notice."
Canon will utilize personal information to the extent necessary to respond to your reports.
Should customers inquiring about personal information that they previously provided submit a request for the disclosure, correction, deletion, etc. of that information to the below point of contact, Canon will respond to that request without delay or investigate the matter as necessary and handle the request based on the results of said investigation.
