As September comes to its end, the 3rd quarter of 2013 concluded with
moderate improvements in CAMG s business performance. We were
glad to see things getting better gradually, yet we were not able to
surmount the same period of last year or achieve our goal. We are beaten
by various difficulties we encountered rather than by our competitors.
CAMG now needs to come up with more breakthroughs to counterattack!
The idea of counterattack has already been advocated in Canon (China) to
spur people for a prime September. Thanks to everyone s hardworking,
Canon (China) did realize a greater monthly growth versus last year. It s
not terrifying to lose a game or two, as long as we don t lose hope and
keep looking for opportunities to fight back. Let s counterattack the
bleak market environment, the problems existing in our daily work!
The spirit of counterattack could be extended to all Asian regions via
breakthroughs, so that it could encourage us to overcome all obstacles on
our way. Having come into the last quarter of the year, we definitely need
more passion and breaking points to push the last mile, with various
resorts to attract users.
I have noticed some of our NSOs have won some awards, as for our
products, our CSR actions, or Canon as an employer. Sure enough these
awards are all desirable, representing valuable public recognition and
respect that we have earned over ages. Still I would like to remind
everyone that sales growth and profitability is the bread-and-butter issue
for us. Business growth is the ultimate root of our development and also
our obligation as a company.
I do believe in you, every member of CAMG, to bring more strength and
originality to bring breakthroughs to the group. We have together come
through most of such a tough year, let s hold on to the last. Canon s
performance in 2013 is in your hands, Canon s future is all in your hands.

Breakthrough!
Chairman had a
good talk with
first-line employees
CCN
The communication luncheon
between the Chairman and first-line
employees organized by HR was held
again on September 25. In addition to
our Chairman Mr. Ozawa, 10 B-level
employees from various departments
throughout the company also joined the
luncheon. Different from previous years,
this communication luncheon was held
in the office area with everyone eating a
set meal. Vice HR general manager Li
Jun said this was a good change for the
event. In the past, it took a long time to
go out and order the food, which was a
waste of the limited communication
time. The new arrangement can
effectively increase the time for
c ommuni c a t i on s o t ha t mor e
information can be shared.
For employees who participated in
the meeting, this was a valuable chance
to communicate with the company's
top management. They di rectl y
communicated with the Chairman
things they were concerned with, and
Mr. Ozawa shared his life experience as
someone who had gong through it all
.
The activity is carried out regularly
between A-level employees and vice
presidents, and B-level employees and
the Chairman. It plays a critical role in
improving the flat management of
modern enterprises and enhancing
employee care.

activities on behalf of the company.

participated in was an outing for Metta
School for special needs children. Armed
with a photography assignment from their
teacher, 25 students from Metta School aged
15 to 16 years old roamed Gardens by the
Bay on 18th September, hunting down rare
trees, flowers and shrubs all in the spirit to
put their photography skills to practice.
Together with their assigned Canon
staff volunteers, they took three hours to
