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, imageCLASS laser printers, copiers, calculators, imageFORMULA scanners, imagePROGRAF Large Format Printers, imageRUNNERs, Color imageRUNNERs, imageRUNNER LBP, and imageRUNNER ADVANCE. 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 continues to partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to help give back to the environment.

Thank you for participating and helping us rebuild our nations forests together with the Arbor Day Foundation. With your help we have been able to plant over 70,000 trees over the past three years. In one day alone, these 70,000 trees can generate enough oxygen for 200,000 people.

Starting on September 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010, Canon will be running a new Tree Planting program for the imageRUNNER ADVANCE series of MFPs. During this time frame, Canon will plant 1 tree for every imageRUNNER ADVANCE unit purchased.
