Policy and Structure

The Canon Marketing Japan Group (hereinafter, the "Canon MJ Group") defines material topics as "themes of high importance to the Canon MJ Group and its stakeholders that should be addressed intensively." We have established an end-to-end management framework that connects our corporate philosophy with our Purpose, Long-Term Management Objectives, material topics, and Medium-Term Management Plan, and we carry out actions to tackle the material topics in an effort to achieve our corporate philosophy and our Purpose.

The Canon MJ Group established the "Sustainability Promotion Committee" in 2021 to discuss and make decisions on important sustainability-related matters on a company-wide basis. Chaired by the President, the committee oversees and addresses all matters related to sustainability. Because the themes addressed by the committee are important matters closely linked to management strategy and business activities, the structure was changed in 2023 from being under the Management Committee to being under the Board of Directors. The Committee now operates under the direct oversight of the Board of Directors. In addition, as a certain period had elapsed since the committee's establishment and the scope and content of its activities had become more specific, in 2025, we reviewed the reporting and approval matters to be submitted to the Sustainability Promotion Committee and the Board of Directors. By aligning reporting and approval matters with the status of our latest initiatives and actual operatingconditions, we seek to achieve both effective governance and agile management. In 2025, three reports were submitted to the Board of Directors.
