Canon strives to take an environmentally — and people — friendly approach to product design and lifecycle.

Generation Green is Canon’s environmental initiative that aims to reduce the environmental burdens in all stages of a product's lifecycle. This program encompasses eligible Canon scanners, PIXMA inkjet printers, and imageCLASS laser printers, copiers and fax machines, and imageFORMULA DR-Series scanners. Generation Green is designed to provide business partners, customers and consumers a way to identify and learn about the various green products and solutions Canon offers; for example, possible cost savings through energy efficiency. We will continue to create products that are considerate to people and the global environment.

Canon is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to help give back to the environment.

From May 1 – August 31, 2009, Canon will plant 1 tree for every 10 Generation Green products registered. Together with the Arbor Day Foundation we will help rebuild our nations forests and give back to all of our customers who took the time to register their eco-conscious products. Up to 40,000 trees could be planted over the course of the program. Register your eco-conscious Canon product now and help us replenish our environment one tree at a time.
