Change is evolution, transformation is progress. Canon will continue to move forward in order to achieve its goal of kyosei.
Just as the Industrial Revolution transformed people’s lives, innovation continually reshapes societies. Globally, the accelerated development of AI and other innovations are fundamentally changing our values and how we live and do business. It’s imperative for companies to adapt quickly to these changes and constantly evolve with the times.
Canon has completely overhauled its business portfolio in light of technological advances and other factors, reorganizing its structure and forming four “pillar” industry-oriented groups for the Printing, Medical, Imaging, and Industrial businesses. Under this new portfolio, we are further enhancing our business competitiveness by establishing future technologies, bolstering production technologies, and deepening technological ties across organizations. We are also creating new innovations to support more comfortable and more prosperous life-styles, business environments, and a safer, more secure society.
Change is evolution, transformation is progress. Based on our foundational DNA of an enterprising spirit and the San-ji (Three Selfs) Spirit, Canon will always contribute to society through technology and continue to transform ourselves, as we aim to become a truly excellent global corporation that is admired and respected around the world.
Beneath our relentless self-transformation, however, is our unwavering corporate philosophy of kyosei, which asks: What should Canon do as a member of the international community to help realize a society in which people everywhere understand, respect, and support each other? We will continue to move forward and take on this challenge as a united Group.
