Chemical Substance Management

Management of Chemical Substances in Products

Based on Panasonic Group's view of reduction of environmental impact by chemical substances, Our company provides solutions to customers globally "to achieve a sustainable society" and "to minimize an impact on the environment" through our products, such as primary / secondary batteries and battery application products etc.

Communication in the Supply Chain (Information transmission on chemical substances)

Management of Chemical Substances at Factories

Panasonic Group manages chemical substances according to "Chemical Substances Management Rank Guidelines (for factories)", by selecting chemical substances that are hazardous to human health and environment based on major laws and regulations on chemical substances.
