3 Developing public welfare from the bottom of our heart From bottom of our heart President and CEO of Canon (China) Not long ago, "Canon image Bridge" project began as the upgrade of original Canon "Image schools. A friend asked me: "Why can Canon continue improvement and innovation in various CSR projects?" I think this may be because Canon (China) is doing these things from the bottom of our hearts. I think whether it be a person or a company, as long as there is heartfelt motivation, we will be able to develop the public welfare well which is by no means the competition of money. I remember this news after the Wenchuan Earthquake. An old lady living by picking up trash donated her hard-earned 100 yuan to the disaster area. The figures may not be comparable to 1 million yuan from a company. But can we say which is more valuable? I think the public welfare cannot be measured by money, but something else. That s why when Canon (China) is undertaking donations but rather consider what to do to bring the children truly valuable changes. From 2008 passed a lot of images from the "outside world" to children in remote areas, and improved their expression and communication skills, which cannot be obtained from a textbook. This is most important. This year, the "Canon image Bridge" project started. Canon (China) will continue to improve this project, and extend it to the United States, Europe, Africa... in the future. We hope to build up a bridge by image, to help people of different geographical and cultural backgrounds to communicate with each other, eliminating barriers and building friendships. 2
