*1 Applies to Panasonic Energy Group’s manufacturing sites as well as the head office MORIGUCHI Site and NISHIKADOMA Site (non-manufacturing).
*2 GHG emissions other than CO2 from energy sources apply to manufacturing sites only (non-manufacturing sites are excluded).
*3 Applies to manufacturing sites within the Panasonic Energy Group.
*4 Products covered: Lithium-ion batteries for in-vehicle, electrically-assisted bikes, storage battery systems for data centers, ethical packaging, and alkali dry batteries.
*5 Manufacturing sites of the Panasonic Energy Group, as well as the MORIGUCHI head office site (non-manufacturing).
*6 Manufacturing, research, and development sites that have achieved virtually zero CO2 emissions by conserving energy, introducing renewable energy, and using credits as of the end of the fiscal year.
*7 Percentage of electricity used by Panasonic Energy that is derived from renewable energy sources (includes certificates, credits, and other externally procured items).
*8 CO₂ emissions per unit capacity of lithium-ion batteries for automotive use produced at the North American factories
*9 Metric expressed by multiplying the “hazardousness factor,” which expresses the weight of harmfulness as independently determined by the Panasonic Group for chemical substances, by “release and transfer amount.”
*10 sites assessed under the rules applicable before the change to the application of green electricity certificates in China—a change introduced by the Implementation Rules for the Management of Renewable Energy Green Electricity Certificates (Trial) enforced in November 2025. Reflecting this rule change, the number of sites would be 16 ★
