CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment 2025
CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is a UK-based non-profit organisation. CDP’s annual Supplier Engagement Assessment, known as CDP’s Supplier Engagement Rating, evaluates corporate supply chain engagement on climate issues.
This assessment is based on the information reported by companies in their CDP response, and evaluated under the criteria of the Supplier Engagement Assessment Methodology. Ratings include the effective engagement of company suppliers on climate change.
Canon Inc.

Under its corporate philosophy of kyosei, Canon aims to realise a society that achieves a beneficial balance between lifestyle enrichment and the environment, and promotes environmental conservation activities in tandem with its business operations. Canon’s corporate philosophy of kyosei conveys the company’s dedication to achieving a society where all people, regardless of culture, customs, language, or race, happily live and work together.
Canon aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire product life cycle (scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2050.
Canon has also set science-based GHG emissions reduction targets in line with SBTi standards: by 2030, a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions (category 1 and 11) compared to 2022 levels. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global initiative that encourages companies to set GHG reduction targets based on climate science.

Ricoh
Ricoh has been recognised as a 2025 Supplier Engagement Leader by CDP, a global non-profit that operates an independent environmental disclosure system.
Ricoh was also selected by CDP for the 2025 A List in both Climate Change and Water Security in recognition of its high level of transparency and performance in environmental disclosure in those two fields.
Mikako Suzuki, chief sustainability and risk management officer at Ricoh Company, Ltd., said,
“We are honored to have received the highest rating in CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment for the sixth consecutive year. This recognition reflects our ongoing collaboration with suppliers who have worked with us toward the shared goal of realizing a decarbonized society, and we sincerely appreciate their support. It is also a testament to our efforts to advance decarbonization across the supply chain through energy-efficient products and solutions, supplier briefing sessions and requests that key suppliers set medium- to long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets. We will continue to strengthen collaboration and accelerate climate action across the entire value chain.”
Ricoh will continue to promote energy conservation and the active use of renewable energy in its own operations while also encouraging business partners and customers to help build a decarbonised society across the entire value chain.
