The program "Join Hands for the Environment" is one of the annual activities of Canon Vietnam Company with the aim of raising awareness and guiding students to join hands to protect the environment through small actions in daily life, promoting awareness of protecting the living environment in rural areas for the majority of people and young people.At the same time, contributing to the realization of the 5 Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) of the United Nations in general and of Vietnam in particular, including: Goal No. 6: Reduce pollution, discharge of liquids, restore ecosystems; Goal No. 11: Minimize the impact of the environment on life; Goal No. 12: Use resources effectively and minimize, manage waste, chemicals; Goal No. 13: Promote environmental education and propaganda; Goal No. 15: Provide solutions to minimize natural degradation and animal extinction.

Environmental education and propaganda activities have provided students with basic knowledge about the habitat of animals and plants, and the current state of environmental pollution in Vietnam as well as around the world. The lesson content is combined with vivid illustrations and videos, helping students visualize the current state of the environment more clearly and absorb knowledge more easily. Through this, students can better understand and perceive the importance of environmental protection, while helping them see their role in protecting the environment through small daily actions. The program also guides students on how to protect the environment through 3R actions including reducing plastic waste and recycling organic waste according to the Government's policy.

In addition, students also participated in exciting games such as "Garbage Classification" - practicing sorting recyclable waste, organic waste, inorganic waste; "Habitat" game - finding suitable habitats for animals, to help students easily remember the knowledge and information that the program wants to convey.

In addition to environmental education and propaganda activities, Canon Vietnam also presented 551 gifts to students, including boxes of crayons and environmentally friendly cloth bags. At the same time, Canon Vietnam also presented the school with 01 printer and 05 3-compartment waste sorting bins to support teaching and protect the clean and green environment. In addition, Canon also sponsored a Japanese Ehon comic bookshelf for the school to help students have the opportunity to access good books, develop their brain, language skills, creative thinking and emotions .

Previously, the program was also successfully implemented at Tam Son 2 Primary School, Tu Son City, Bac Ninh. Thus, in 2024, more than 950 students participated in the environmental education propaganda program, along with more than 950 meaningful gifts of equipment and necessary supplies for teaching and environmental protection activities were given by Canon Vietnam to students and schools.
