Exigent and responsible manufacturer
The environment is a major concern for Canon Bretagne and Canon elaborated our own Environmental Charter to minimise our operations impact. Our products are environmentally conscious developed by using energy-efficient technology, by reducing the use of chemical substances and by maximising resource efficiency.
Beyond these measures, Canon has taken part in great environmental projects: teaming up with WWF (World Wildlife Fund for Nature) and practicing GREEN purchases
