* Reflects the environmental value and the benefits of electricity derived from renewable energy and green power.
* Sites in China plan to obtain Green Electricity Certificates by the end of November 2026, in accordance with the Implementation Rules for the Management of Renewable Energy Green Electricity Certificates (Trial), effective November 2025.
* FY2025 results include CO₂ emissions from non-manufacturing sites newly added to the management scope in FY2025.

Reduction of CO₂ emissions

Based on the Panasonic Group's long-term environmental vision for a carbon-neutral society, "Panasonic GREEN IMPACT," and Panasonic Industry's Environmental Vision, we are promoting energy-saving activities and the introduction of renewable energy. We have set target to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions^* in each region, and our aim is to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions for all our manufacturing sites globally by 2030.

We have set a roadmap to achieve net zero CO2 emissions for all our manufacturing sites by 2027 in Southeast Asia, and by 2030 in Japan and Taiwan. We have already achieved net zero CO2 emissions in China in fiscal 2023, and in Europe and North America in fiscal 2025. Sites in China plan to obtain Green Electricity Certificates by the end of November 2026, in accordance with the Implementation Rules for the Management of Renewable Energy Green Electricity Certificates (Trial), effective November 2025.

* Achieving net-zero CO₂ emissions through energy saving and the introduction of renewable energy, along with the use of power certificates and CO₂ credits
* Sites in China plan to obtain Green Electricity Certificates by the end of November 2026, in accordance with the Implementation Rules for the Management of Renewable Energy Green Electricity Certificates (Trial), effective November 2025.

Major challenges

Sharing energy conservation and renewable energy case studies, including manufacturing energy rationalization, and driving standardization across sites at the highest level
Promoting continuous improvement activities through performance management and energy visualization
Fostering a supportive culture and developing talent through hands-on support for Japanese and overseas sites, while advancing self-sustaining energy conservation initiatives

Energy saving case examples

Introducing high-efficiency chillers, air-conditioning systems, pumps, and compressors while optimizing operating conditions
Optimizing the operation of air-conditioning, lighting, and utility equipment through energy visualization and addressing compressed air leaks
Reducing manufacturing energy consumption by streamlining production processes, including reducing standby power consumption in production equipment and improving yield rates
Promoting talent development through energy conservation support for Japanese sites and exchange activities among overseas sites

We will continue our daily energy saving activities while also striving for continuous improvement toward more efficient energy use.

Introduction of renewable energy

We are implementing large-scale solar power generation systems and procuring renewable energy such as geothermal power generation and wind power generation at our domestic and overseas manufacturing sites.
