Canon Earns Platinum EcoVadis Rating
At Cantec, we don’t just partner with any supplier, we work with industry leaders who share our commitment to quality, responsibility, and progress. That’s why we’re proud to shine a spotlight on Canon’s recent achievement of a Platinum rating from EcoVadis, placing them in the top 1% of companies globally for sustainability.
But beyond the headline, what does this mean for our customers, and why should you care?
What Is EcoVadis?
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most trusted and respected providers of sustainability ratings. They evaluate over 100,000 companies globally based on four key pillars:
- Environment
- Labour & Human Rights
- Ethics
- Sustainable Procurement
Canon’s Platinum award builds on their previous Gold rating and reflects years of continued improvement and deep integration of sustainable practices across their entire global operation.
What Makes This Achievement So Significant?
Being ranked in the top 1% is no easy feat. It signals that Canon has not only implemented sustainability policies, but they are actively delivering on them, across over 533 certified operational sites in 40 countries.
Key highlights include:
- A certified ISO 14001 Environmental Management System across hundreds of sites
- An A rating from CDP for Climate Change – placing Canon in the top 2% globally
- Recognition as a sustainability leader in Quocirca’s 2024 Sustainability Report
This isn’t just about being “green”, it’s about setting a global standard in sustainable manufacturing, ethical operations, and supply chain transparency.
