Canon U.S.A. and Arbor Day Foundation join forces with new reforestation initiative

From July 1st through December 31st, 2009, every time a customer purchases a Factory-Certified imageRUNNER 3300E/3300EN or imageRUNNER 5000E/5000EN model, Canon will plant 10 trees in a national forest in the honor of the customer. The customer will also receive a certificate recognizing the donation. Canon’s Factory-Certified models are produced at Canon Virginia’s manufacturing facility in Newport News, Virginia.

"The Factory-Certified imageRUNNER models are part of Canon’s commitment to responsible product lifecycle management and reducing our carbon footprint through our advanced technological capabilities," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "When customers purchase one of these models, they will be helping to limit our impact on the environment by extending the lives of our products and conserving natural resources.

"To further expand the positive environmental impact of our Factory-Certified program, we will be helping to ‘give back’ to the environment by supporting the planting of trees in the honor of our customer’s name with every purchase of a Factory-Certified imageRUNNER model," added Yoshida.

Additionally, Canon U.S.A. has another program with the Arbor Day Foundation that supports the planting of trees for registered Canon Generation Green products. Canon’s Generation Green line of products include its imageFORMULA DR-Series scanners, imageCLASS printer products, PIXMA Inkjet Printers, and CanonScan and LiDEscanners, which offer paper-saving technology and energy-saving measures, as well as minimal product packaging, all contributing to the overall sustainability of the environment.
