Hannah Mills

I’m Hannah Mills, a British competitive sailor from Cardiff and spending time on the water is my first passion. But seeing plastic littering waterways worldwide ignited my second passion … Sustainability. Not only are the oceans our life support system, but they are home to the largest ecosystems on Earth.

Vahiné Fierro

Hi, I’m Vahiné Fierro, a French-Polynesian surfer. I was born in Tahiti and my parents taught me how to surf when I was two. As a surfer, I spend so much time on the ocean. To see that the natural underwater world is so endangered by humans hurts my heart. That’s why I’m committed to protecting this fragile zone and I’m proud to be part of the Coral Gardeners initiative. Restoring the ocean has big impact to fix our blue planet.

Our long-term environmental vision

Our long-term environmental vision

The Panasonic Group aims to achieve both a better life and a more sustainable global environment, by creating a positive impact from actions that reduce our own CO₂ emissions, contribute to avoiding CO₂ emissions of society, and realize a circular economy.

With three areas of impact, we aim to help achieve a reduction and avoidance of over 300 million tons* of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to 1% of the total current global emissions**. Find out more

Our long-term environmental vision

With OWN IMPACT, we will work on achieving zero CO2 emissions within our own value chain, in our business activities, throughout the process from the procurement of raw materials and manufacturing to product distribution, its usage, and disposal or recycling.

Our long-term environmental vision

With CONTRIBUTION IMPACT, we aim to promote the wider use of e.g. electric vehicles running on our automotive battery cells, and our heat-pumps and fuel cells, to help reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by at least 100 million tons by 2050.

Our long-term environmental vision

Through FUTURE IMPACT, we aim to achieve avoided CO2 emissions of at least 100 million tons by 2050 by creating and disseminating new technologies, such as glass-integrated Perovskite solar cells, to contribute to a to be decarbonised society.

*Based on CO2 emissions data for the year 2020—indicates realization of net zero CO2 emissions from factory production around the world.
**In 2020, energy-related CO2 emissions totalled 31.7 billion tons (source: IEA)

On our CO2 Emissions Reduction Journey

On our CO2 Emissions Reduction Journey

By 2030, we aim to attain net zero CO2 emissions at all our factories

As of 2023, 31 out of approximately 250 Panasonic Group factories have already achieved this milestone.***

On our CO2 Emissions Reduction Journey

Note: FY2024 ends March 2025.
***Achieved by 22 plants in FY23: Japan (8), China & NEA (6), SEA/Oceania/India/South Asia/Middle East (3), North & Latin America (4), and Europe & CIS (1). Nine plants achieved this status in FY22.
