We believe in leaving the future to you. Not to chance.
Over 1 billion people across the world use Panasonic products every day. That’s a big number – and it comes with an even bigger responsibility.
Roughly 1% of global CO2 emissions from electricity consumption come from the use or manufacturing of our products1. So we need to address things right now if we’re going to give you a future you can enjoy, rather than one you need to save.
That begins by taking actions today to meet our climate responsibilities head on. And we call those actions Panasonic GREEN IMPACT.
Own Impact
We’re minimizing the impact we have, reducing CO₂ emissions from our own value chain from the making and using of our products and services.
Contribution Impact
We’re cutting the CO₂ our products and services contribute to society through their use.
Future Impact
We’re mitigating future CO₂ emissions by introducing and developing new technologies.
By the end of 2022, we’ve already achieved:
- 31 zero-CO2 factories, reaching 37 by 20241
- 99.1% factory waste recycling rate, normalized at 99% by 20241
- 12,400 tons recycled resin used, to reach 90,000 tons in 20241
- Circular economy models introduced across 10 Panasonic Group businesses – 13 sites by 20241
By 2030, we will:
- Achieve net-zero in-house emissions
- Reduce CO2 emissions from our own value chain by 110 million tons
By 2050, we will:
- Reduce CO2 emissions from our own value chain and those of society by 300 million tons, or 1% of current global emissions, through products, services and new technologies that help others avoid emissions
Rethinking how we work
Factories are responsible for roughly 24% of energy-related emissions.2
We’re testing alternative methods to fuel our factories to keep us moving toward a carbon-free future.
