Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief - Canon India

Corporate Philosophy behind Corporate Social Responsibility

Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief

We can’t prevent, but we can mend.
With that belief, Canon and our staff have often joined hands to raise funds and help those who are in desperate need, following humanitarian crises and disasters. Employees contributed one day pay to raise funds during Kargil War (1999), Orissa Cyclone (2000), Earthquake in Bhuj (2001), Tsunami (2004) and Floods in Bihar (2008).

In 2008, when visuals from flood ravaged Bihar haunted and made people wonder if they could help, CSR Team aligned with Caritas, a non profit organization who were assigned the role of rehabilitating 50,000 families by the Government of India. Just one call from the staff was enough to raise huge funds by people contributing their one day pay of more towards rescue and rehabilitation of victims.
