On Page 5, Canon UK Ltd details that it 'conducts self-inspections using RBA's Self-Assessment Questionnaire at its domestic and overseas production sites to confirm that there is no risk of forced labour or unreasonable restrictions on movement.'
p.6
"As a member of RBA, Canon Inc. continues to use the RBA questionnaire to assess major business suppliers. In 2020, 271 suppliers were surveyed, with 249 responses received. In 2021 this number was expanded to 346 major suppliers with 330 responses received. In 2022, 340 suppliers of production material and 331 companies (491 sites) were assessed with RBA’s self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ). None of the major suppliers were identified as “high risk”, but the results of each category such as health and safety, environment and ethics were fed back to the major suppliers to identify weaknesses and apply them to future improvements."

"In 2021, based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, Canon implemented human rights risk assessments throughout the entire Group. RBA’s human rights country/region risk index has been used as the basis of the risk assessment program."
