In January 2025, the Los Angeles area was struck by large-scale wildfires which are still ongoing.
To aid in the relief efforts, the Canon Group has donated a total of $1 million (approximately JPY ¥156 million) to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the 2025 California wildfires.
Fujio Mitarai, Chairman & CEO of Canon Inc., has issued the following statement: “Canon has been doing business in the U.S. for 70 years since opening its New York branch office in 1955, and has grown thanks to the support of its many customers and partners and the efforts of its employees.
“California is a particularly important region to us, and I am deeply saddened by these wildfires which are unprecedented in scale. Canon supports the relief efforts through this donation based on its corporate philosophy of kyosei. We sincerely pray that the region will soon be able to begin the rebuilding and healing process.”
