Canon India celebrated the spirit of womanhood

The 20th anniversary celebrations of Canon India took a leap forward with ‘We@Canon’, initiatives to recognise women power within the organisation on International Women’s Day (March 8). We@Canon stands for Women Empowerment at Canon where the senior women leaders are advisors to the CEO to support initiatives that can bring positive change in the organisation’s gender ratio. Canon India has an array of policies and initiatives that bring women to the forefront of decision making.

Speaking about the significance of its women workforce, on this International Women’s Day, Kazutada Kobayashi, president & CEO, Canon India, said, “The milestone achievement of our 20 glorious years in the country, would not have been possible without the equal contribution of our women workforce. Considering our employees the biggest assets, we endeavour towards ensuring equal opportunity for all our people.”

“Women today are emerging as leaders in every industry including technology. It is for us to acknowledge and honour their determination. Today, our workforce has 12.3% contribution from women employees. Vision 2020 is to nurture the talent within the organisation and level up the number of our women employees,” added Kobayashi.
