MUMBAI: In celebration of International Women’s Day, Canon India has launched its ‘She Canwithcanon’ campaign, focusing on the need to accelerate meaningful, sustainable change for women. Aligned with this year’s theme of ‘Accelerate Action’, the campaign underscores that empowering women should be an ongoing commitment, creating long-term opportunities for both personal and professional growth.

The campaign is highlighted by a poignant video that illustrates the daily challenges women face and reinforces Canon India’s dedication to gender equality and inclusive progress. It positions women as key pillars of success, emphasising that inclusivity is more than just a policy—it's a practice. Canon India’s progressive initiatives, such as mentorship programmes, pair experienced women with newcomers to foster professional development. Additionally, the De-Light initiative promotes work-life balance by ensuring office lights are turned off at 5:30 pm, while dedicated cab services provide safe commutes for women employees.

Canon India has long championed flexible work practices, with hybrid options and flexible hours in place since 2002. With its ‘Health 1st’ philosophy, the company has cultivated an environment where women can thrive professionally without sacrificing personal well-being. A new two-month walkathon has been introduced, encouraging a lifelong commitment to well-being while symbolising collective steps towards lasting change.

Canon India senior director of product & communication, C. Sukumaran stated, “At Canon, empowering women goes beyond celebrating achievements—it’s about creating an environment where everyone can succeed, personally and professionally. Through ‘She Canwithcanon’, we are emphasising real change, ensuring that equality is not just an aspiration but a lived reality. By mentoring, supporting, and investing in women daily, we are building a future of stronger, more diverse leadership.”

Building on the success of its previous ‘I Canwithcanon’ campaign, which showcased the impact of Canon’s solutions on individuals and businesses, the ‘She Canwithcanon’ campaign reaffirms the company’s commitment to fostering a culture where women are empowered to succeed. By continuing to promote equality and positive change, Canon India aims to inspire a future where every woman can confidently say, “I Can.”
