Reduction of CO2 emissions

Based on the Panasonic Group's new vision for a carbon-neutral society, "Panasonic GREEN IMPACT," we are promoting energy-saving activities and introduction of renewable energy to reduce CO2 emissions.

Major challenges

  • Sharing examples of activities for energy saving and introduction of renewable energy and promoting optimum standardization by using energy saving committee and intranet
  • Steady promotion of business plan with performance management and visualization
  • Reinforcement of energy saving activities at overseas sites

Energy saving case examples

  1. Installation of PV power generation system
  2. 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
  3. Investigating the losses of operation and optimization production, air compressors, and lightings by visualization of energy consumption, and measuring to protect air leakage.
  4. Improvement in productivity of facilities and yield ratio
  5. Sharing with promotion energy saving case examples by holding energy saving network event at overseas and improve the skills of energy saving promotion members.
These photos show the energy conservation network events held in China and Malaysia.
