Canon Hong Kong Supports Orbis World Sight Day for 21 Consecutive Years Towards a Barrier-Free Vision World
Eyes are a vital bridge that connects us to the world. As one of the experts in imaging technology, Canon is always keen on advocating the importance of vision and eye health, believing that clear sight allows us to appreciate the beauty in every moment and embrace in all its richness. That’s why Canon Hongkong Company Limited (Canon Hong Kong) has been supporting the Orbis World Sight Day for 21 consecutive years since 2004, bringing hope and restored vision to those affected by eye diseases, and helping them to rediscover the joy of seeing.
To raise public awareness of vision health, the World Health Organization and International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness have initiated the second Thursday of October each year as World Sight Day. Orbis marks this occasion with meaningful fundraising campaigns, each year centered around a unique theme. This year’s theme "The Myriad Forms of Cuteness", encourages people to cherish the everyday beauty around them through the gift of sight, while also drawing global attention on vision impairment and avoidable blindness.
Through a two-week internal donation period, a total of 138 colleagues came together to show their support and generosity. Thanks to the heartfelt contributions, Canon Hong Kong was honored with the 3rd Runner-up of Most Participant Organization Award, a recognition that reflects not only our commitment to corporate social responsibility, but also the compassion and unity of our team.
We remain steadfast in our support for Orbis and its mission to protect sight and prevent blindness. Together, we strive to build a barrier-free world – where everyone has the chance to see, to dream, and to live fully.
Canon Hong Kong has extended long-standing support to Orbis World Sight Dayfor 21 consecutive years with constant support from colleagues.
