As a part of this support and commitment, all employees at Canon India pledged to observe the Earth Hour. All lights at Canon’s offices and Canon Neon signage at international airports were switched off during this time.

Kazutada Kobayashi, President & CEO, Canon India, said, “As a responsible business, Canon India takes pride in being socially inclined and focusses on sustained and effective CSR projects. It is an honour for us to support the global Earth Hour campaign as a part of our CSR initiative towards creating a healthy environment by saving electricity.”

“We have always encouraged our employees to volunteer time for CSR causes. The more support we get, the stronger voice we present for concern on our environment. Doing several small, environmental-friendly actions every day not only saves the environment, but also helps protect species and their habitats and peoples' livelihoods in other parts of the world.

Such small steps can make a positive difference. Canon India believes in acting now and getting more people acting too,” Kobayashi further added......See More
