Canon is leading the charge to make green its manufacturing and workplace processes by operating the world's largest toner cartridge return program, designing energy-efficient office equipment, removing 100 percent of the lead from their photographic lenses, and encouraging employees to adopt environmentally sound work practices.
Canon Australia has become an even stronger environmental leader with ISO 14001 accreditation at all Canon branch locations.
