Canon's Sustainability Achievement: BLI 2026-2028 Award

Canon Inc. has achieved a significant milestone by receiving the prestigious BLI 2026-2028 Most Energy Efficient Brand Award from Keypoint Intelligence. This recognition is awarded to brands demonstrating exceptional energy efficiency in their toner-based printer and multifunction device lineup, specifically in the A3 and A4 categories.

The award is based on comprehensive testing conducted by Keypoint Intelligence, which spans five years. It assesses multiple factors that contribute to energy efficiency and overall performance in real-world usage conditions. Canon’s success in the A3 category marks its first win, while in the A4 category, it has now been recognized for the second consecutive time, following its previous win for the 2023-2025 period.

The specific models evaluated for this award include Canon's imageFORCE, imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX, and imageCLASS series, totaling twenty A3 and A4 devices. The company's innovations, such as high-speed printing capabilities and rapid recovery times, were key factors that contributed to their high productivity ratings while maintaining low power consumption throughout the printing process.

Canon's commitment to sustainability extends beyond just product performance. The company integrates environmentally friendly technologies across the entire product lifecycle, from sourcing raw materials to production, distribution, utility, and ultimately, disposal and recycling. Notably, Canon has developed technologies that support its energy-saving efforts, such as on-demand fixing technology that quickly heats the fuser film during printing, low melting point toner that operates at reduced fixing temperatures, and smart power control during sleep mode. By implementing these energy-saving technologies across a wide range of products, Canon aims to significantly reduce overall consumption of electricity in its product lineup.
