Management Program For Factory-Certified imageRUNNER Models
As part of its comprehensive commitment to environmental responsibility
across the entire product lifecycle, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in
digital document imaging, today announced the Company will make a
donation to plant 10 trees through the Arbor Day Foundation for every
Factory-Certified imageRUNNER model purchased from a Canon authorized
dealer or Canon Business Solutions.
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.

Foundation that supports the planting of trees for registered Canon

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.
