​​Canon Inc. (Canon), a supplier to companies including HP and Samsung, ranks joint 35th out of 60 companies. Compared to 2020, the company improved its rank by one place. This is because the company began disclosing a human rights risk assessment conducted on its supply chains and adopted a policy prohibiting worker-paid recruitment fees in its supply chains. It scores higher than average on the theme of Traceability & Risk Assessment, but lower than average across all other themes. The company is encouraged to improve its performance and disclosure on the themes outlined in the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Guidelines on Human Rights, including Commitment & Governance, Monitoring, and Remedy.
