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 2023 in China, by 2025 in Europe and North America, by 2027 in Southeast Asia, and by 2030 in Japan and Taiwan.

Major challenges

  • Sharing and promoting best practices in thorough energy-saving initiatives and the introduction of renewable energy
  • Steady promotion of business plan with performance management and visualization
  • Reinforcement of energy saving activities at overseas sites

Energy saving case examples

  1. By Installation and optimization of operating high-efficiency typed chillers, air-conditioners, vacuum pumps, and compressors, and control for compressors, clean rooms and dry rooms to conserve energy
  2. Investigating the losses of operation and optimization production, air compressors, and lightings by visualization of energy consumption, and measuring to protect air leakage
  3. Improvement of operational losses and yield in production equipment
  4. Development of energy-saving promotion members through practical energy-saving activities at domestic and overseas business sites

Introduction of renewable energy

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