Canon Organizes its 3rd “Khuat Im Boon” CSR Project
Donating used plastic bottles to Samut Prakan’s Wat Chak Daengto turn them into recycled monk robes
Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd., led by Mr. Hiroshi Yokota (4th left), President and CEO, Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd., along with Mr. Kenichiro Kubo (6th left), President of Canon Hi-Tech (Thailand) Ltd. and Mr. Hitoshi Takayama (3rd left), General Manager of KWE-Kintetsu World Express (Thailand) Co., Ltd., recently organized the third edition of “Khuat Im Boon” project. The company donated used plastic bottles to Phra Ekkapol Akkapunyo (5th left), Buddhist monk and environment officer at Wat Chak Daeng, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province.
Canon organized the third edition of its “Khuat Im Boon” project where employees of Canon’s group of companies in Thailand and KWE-Kintetsu World Express (Thailand), Canon’s business partner, were encouraged to collect and sort used plastic bottles. The company then donated them to Wat Chak Daeng in Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province. The donated bottles will go through a recycling process and transform into fabric which will later be made into monastic robes, blankets, and other clothing products. A total of 200 kilograms of PET bottles were collected and donated to the temple during the campaign.
A part of Canon’s green efforts, this project aimed at raising awareness of waste recycling and reducing plastic waste to help preserve the environment and reduce carbon emissions. The CSR activity is in line with Canon’s global environmental goals to create a more sustainable world for future generations.
