Improve energy efficiency automatically and intelligently

AI ECONAVI and inverter technology

With AI technology that intelligently reduces wasteful energy consumption based on usage patterns and power-efficient, inverter-controlled motors, energy is saved automatically.

Air to Water Heat Pump

Highly efficient heat pump technology collects the heat in the atmosphere to produce thermal energy using less electricity. It's an effective use of finite energy resources.

Section Banner: Only 0.01% of water on Earth is usable (footnote 2). Illustration of a single drop of water above ocean waves.

Wash better using less water with smart technologies

AI Smart Wash

AI technology analyses the garments and various conditions to optimise the amount of water used—without compromising wash performance. Simply using the washing machine will conserve water.

A small amount of water is recirculated in a clever manner, dramatically reducing water consumption while achieving cleaner results compared to hand washing.

Section Banner: 40% of food production goes straight into the bin (footnote 3). Illustration of vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat and dairy products.

Keep your food fresh for longer

Prime Freeze/Prime Fresh

Freshness can be preserved longer in refrigerators featuring unique technologies that suppress oxidisation and help keep food cells intact during freezing, contributing to the reduction of food loss.

Section Banner: The higher the level of income, the greater the amount of waste (footnote 4). Illustration of a mountain of shopping bags.

Eco-friendly shopping
without sacrificing quality

Choose only what you need

A modular system with a single body and a single charger with swappable attachment heads lets you choose only what you need. Total product weight is reduced 60%, improving sustainability.

High-quality refurbishing gives appliances a second life

To help preserve limited resources, we refurbish appliances returned to our Group and restore them to working condition. Only those that meet our strict quality standards are shipped and delivered to customers.

Thoughtful, stylish design with less environmental impact

Featuring eco-friendly biomass paint*

The new mist grey body colour features biomass paint* made from plant-derived materials. By reducing petrochemical use and CO₂ emissions, this is a colourful way to protect the planet.

Section Banner: Plastics are expected to outweigh fish in the ocean by 2050 (footnote 6). Illustration of small fish being chased by a giant, fish-shaped monster made of various types of plastic trash.

Less plastic in the world means less plastic in the wild

Ethical Packaging

Many of our new packaging and cushioning materials are being transitioned away from plastics and polystyrene foam, which create waste problems, to paper and other materials that are more recyclable.

Advanced greenhouse gas initiatives are being deployed globally

“RE100” Solution

Envisioning a decarbonised society, an in-house power generation system geared towards energy self-sufficiency has been demonstrated. It will now be deployed in various locations around the world.

Natural Refrigerant

In place of conventional refrigerants found in water heaters, a natural refrigerant with only a minuscule greenhouse effect is now being used, further reducing environmental impact.

Section Banner: By 2050, global waste will grow to 1.7 times the current level (footnote 4). Illustration of abstract pieces of trash piled high on top of the Earth.

Waste reduction through recycling as part of the manufacturing process

Toward a recycling-oriented society

At our world-class recycling plants, valuable resources—extracted at high purity from televisions and other appliances that have completed their useful lives—are recycled and used in the manufacture of new products.
