BRAMPTON, ON., OCTOBER 6, 2022 – Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has been named one of Canada’s Best Employers for Diversity in 2022 by Forbes. Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to identify the Canadian companies most dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Approximately 10,000 professionals working for companies employing at least 500 people in their Canadian operations were surveyed to identify Canada’s Best Employers for Diversity. Respondents were asked to give their opinions on work-related topics such as working conditions, salary, potential for development and company image regarding their current employer.

The following four criteria were taken into consideration:

• Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding age, gender, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQA+, and general diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups.
• Indirect Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively regarding diversity. Only the recommendations of minority groups were considered.
• Diversity Among Top Executives/Board and Diversity Engagement Indicators were also part of the evaluation.

“Canadians are proud of our country’s diverse population and culture. It’s what makes Canada unique and welcoming.,” says Nobuhiko Kitajima, President and CEO of Canon Canada. “Canon Canada’s culture reflects this belief, and it’s proud to support employees from all backgrounds. Our corporate philosophy is Kyosei: ‘All people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future.’ We are honoured to be recognized as a company that promotes a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and respect.”
