As a part of our commitment to environmental sustainability,
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud
to announce that the Company will continue its relationship with
the Arbor Day Foundation by supporting its Community Tree Recovery
Program, which helps to rebuild communities affected by natural
disasters through the planting of trees. To date, Canon U.S.A.’s
contributions to the Arbor Day Foundation have resulted in the
planting of more than 300,000 trees to impacted areas throughout
the United States.
“Canon believes in the importance of contributing to the
communities that we work and live in to help build a better world
for generations to come,” said Junichi Yoshitake, senior vice
president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group,
Canon U.S.A., Inc. “We are honored to continue to work with the
Arbor Day Foundation on this important initiative and help improve
the quality of life to the communities that have been damaged by
natural catastrophies.”
This year the Community Tree Recovery Program will provide
relief to 10 states, including Oklahoma, New Jersey, Mississippi,
Texas and Washington. Through the Canon Forest Program, which will
directly support the Community Tree Recovery Program, Canon will
help contribute to the planting of one tree for every eligible
imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction system sold from April 1, 2015 to
December 31, 2015, up to a maximum of 50,000 trees. Current
imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction systems have achieved outstanding
Total Energy Consumption (TEC) ratings, earned ENERGY STAR®1
ratings, and have also received various EPEAT® ratings2, which is
the global registry for greener electronics.
“The Community Tree Recovery Campaign is about bringing life
back to communities struck by natural disasters,” said Dan Lambe,
president, Arbor Day Foundation. “These trees are part of the long
and important history of the people and land of the affected areas.
We thank Canon for years of generous support of our nation’s
forests.”
