Adhering to Canon's corporate philosophy of "Kyosei", Canon Hong Kong has spared no effort to promote environmental conservation and injected green elements into different kinds of corporate activities. Since the launch of "Ink Cartridge Recycling Program" in 2009, Canon Hong Kong has invited the beloved local cartoon character, McDull, to serve as the program ambassador. With the ambition of cultivating the environmental awareness of the next generation, the program was extended to the education sector in 2011, calling on support from primary and secondary schools in the annual competition. Now in its 14th year, the program has received overwhelming responses from more than 300 organizations, housing estates, shopping malls, supermarkets and schools, all helping to set up recycling boxes to encourage the public to recycle used inkjet printer cartridges (all brands are welcome). To deepen students' understanding and engagement with environmental issues, Canon Hong Kong has organized over 200 environmental seminars for participating schools, reaching over 70,000 students with messages about recycling and sustainable development. As of June 2025, over 285,000 ink cartridges were collected. The recycled ink cartridges were dismantled, while the metals and plastics were being recycled into raw materials for other products.

In the welcome speech at the ceremony, Mr. Gary Lee, President and CEO of Canon Hong Kong, affirmed the winning schools for their exemplar dedication in promoting recycling. A total of 10 schools were recognized in the aspect of "Highest No. of Recycled Ink Cartridges" and "Highest No. of Recycled Ink Cartridges Per Head" respectively. Mr. Gary Lee expressed gratitude for the enthusiasm and active support from the academic sector. He emphasized the importance of promoting environmental protection to the young generation from an early age and urged schools to build a better and sustainable society together by continuously responding to green initiatives.

After the ceremony, Canon Hong Kong arranged a "Imaging for Fun" workshop for the students. The interactive experience combining photography and printing allowed the students to learn the basic photography skills, capture creative images and print their work on-site. This helped them to discover the joy of visual storytelling while extending environmental education to creative learning. Canon Image Square guided tour was also prepared for teachers and parents, where they explored Canon's latest imaging technologies and creative applications. These two activities added a joyful and lively atmosphere, bringing the award ceremony to a successful and memorable close.
