Since 2005, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service has awarded CHK the Caring Company Logo by way of recognizing CHK’s continuous efforts to contribute to the local community.

Being a responsible manufacturer, Canon became a global leader in 1990 by being the first to set up its own Canon Toner Cartridge Recycle Factory located in Japan, China, U.S. and France, to make sure all collected toner cartridges are utilised as reusable parts in new products. Up until 2012, Canon had reduced the use of new resources by 201,000 tons, and CO2 emissions by 450,000 tons. Likewise, since 2009 CHK has established Ink Cartridge Collection boxes in voluntary schools, shopping malls, commercial centers and commercial buildings in order to collect used cartridges for recycling purposes.
