Canon, headquartered in Japan, reported a total of approximately 7.77 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions of approximately 184 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 817 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 6.77 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions include the use of sold products (approximately 2.24 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 2.59 billion kg CO2e). Canon has established significant climate commitments. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions (specifically categories 1 and 11) by 25% by 2030, using 2022 as the base year. These targets have been submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for validation. Furthermore, Canon has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions across its entire product lifecycle by 2050. For near-term targets, Canon aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of the current decade. In 2024, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were reduced by approximately 13.5% compared to 2022, and Scope 3 emissions by approximately 17.0% compared to 2022.
