Initiatives
Initiatives toward TNFD disclosure
The Canon MJ Group participated in the TNFD Forum in August 2025 to enhance the sophistication of its disclosure on natural capital and biodiversity. We will steadily advance our response to TNFD disclosures, taking into account international discussions and leading practices of other companies.
