Not Synced
which means living and working together
for the common good.

That philosophy drives all of our activities
at Canon

Not Synced
from the way in which we design our products
-
Not Synced
to our relationships with our customers
and communities in which we operate in

as well as our management structure.

from office products.

any tactile markings or indications
