"In 2022, SAQ responses were verified, and field visits were conducted for several major suppliers in Japan and Asia. In addition, beginning in 2022, risk assessments were conducted at the production sites of the main business on premises contractors such as security, cleaning, and cafeteria operators, facilities and dormitory management companies, and staffing agencies. None of the business partners were identified as “high risk” in the risk assessment, but Canon requested them to monitor regulations and risks and to submit a corrective plan."

"In 2022, the number of reports received in relation to human right was 110. This number is not limited to Canon Global online portal (link above), it is a combined figure from all available routes for raising concerns. Reports ranged from discrimination, harassment, wages and working hours. All reports received have been investigated by Canon Inc. In 21 out of the 110 cases it was determined that action was required to rectify and prevent recurrence. The investigations on corrective actions for these 21 cases were completed by the end of 2022."
