How we supported at The Games

Our Mission: Sustainability

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games had an aim to be the first edition with a carbon-neutral legacy. To support this, Canon Medical off-set the carbon emitted across the entire lifecycle of our equipment provided, as well as the carbon generated by our community at the three onsite Polyclinics. This included the creation of our equipment, transportation to the sites, installation, running and removal of equipment, as well as its onward journey to its next destination.

In addition, all employee travel and accommodation throughout the Games formed part of Canon’s carbon-offsetting calculations, with a total offsetting amount of 132.6 tCO2e (tonne CO2 equivalent), through our India wind turbine project. Our support of this project aligns with the UN’s seventh Sustainable Development Goal: Affordable and Clean Energy for All.
