Canon Europe has recently joined the ranks of the Global Ecolabelling Network, a significant step towards their commitment to environmental sustainability.
By becoming an affiliate member of this esteemed organization, Canon Europe has shown their dedication to reducing the environmental impact of their products, and their acceptance into the Global Ecolabelling Network’s roster of organizations with certifiable labels proves their commitment to sustainability.
The Global Ecolabelling Network is a nonprofit organization that sets the global benchmark for ecolabel excellence, making it easier for governments and businesses to access clear sustainability information to stimulate the global market for sustainable goods and services. With ecolabelling being a voluntary method of environmental performance certification and labelling, organizations like Canon Europe must commit to the dissemination of certifiable labels that consider the full spectrum of environmental impacts across a product’s entire lifecycle.
Through this membership, Canon Europe will offer credible labels certified by an impartial third party for products or services that have been independently determined to meet transparent environmental leadership criteria. This involves consideration of life cycle impacts, environmental and health issues such as toxicity, air quality, energy and water use, recyclability, and use of natural resources.
Craig Woodburn, Senior Sustainability Operations Manager at Canon Europe, expressed their pride in being accepted as a member of the Global Ecolabelling Network, stating that it is an opportunity to elevate their efforts towards achieving their sustainability goals while ensuring compliance with their products. Kate Harris, Secretariat at Global Ecolabelling Network, also expressed excitement at welcoming Canon Europe as an affiliate member, emphasizing the need for collaboration in supply chains to optimize solutions and best practices for sustainability.
This affiliation with the Global Ecolabelling Network is another step towards Canon Europe’s mission to reduce its environmental impact and support customers in reducing theirs. It also demonstrates Canon Europe’s commitment to operating closer to its customers and meeting their demands in the rapidly evolving African market. With more than 15 years of presence in Africa, Canon Europe has successfully built a solid customer base in the region and demonstrates a focus on sustainable business growth and reducing environmental impact.
In conclusion, Canon Europe’s acceptance into the Global Ecolabelling Network is a testament to their dedication to environmental sustainability and their commitment to providing products and services that are environmentally preferable. This step is a significant milestone that will further drive their sustainability goals and encourage the shift towards more sustainable practices in the market.
