Panasonic has emphasised its commitment to the net-zero climate impact and reaching Panasonic Environment Vision 2050, the brand has announced the Panasonic Green Impact initiative globally. It aims to contribute to society-wide reductions in CO2 emissions by switching customers to energy-saving products and supplying energy-saving solutions and green energy technologies to B2B/B2G customers.
“As Panasonic, we are now focused on achieving a global CO2 emission of net-zero by 2030 across the entirety of our business operations. Around the world, it is estimated that more than 1 billion customers using Panasonic products every day create 86 million tons of CO2 emissions based on electricity consumption figures. This amounts to approximately 110 million tons of CO2 emissions across our entire value chain, a number that is equivalent to about 1% of total emissions from global electricity consumption. Thus, it is Panasonic’s duty to reduce these emissions as they have an enormous impact on our planet. The Green Impact policy will make Panasonic better in the coming future and thus help us manner a more sustainable future for the coming generations,” commented Hiroyuki Shibutani, managing director, PMMAF.
Panasonic factories located in the various parts of the world use renewable energy for power, and have energy-efficient fixtures and smart lighting, and HVAC systems. Meanwhile, in the regions such as the Middle East, where the brand doesn’t have production facilities, it continues to provide energy-efficient products helping to reduce the impact by Panasonic customers.
“We will continue and expand upon our work to reduce emissions caused due to the use of our products by developing and providing new technologies and solutions to increase efficiency for our customers in the business and government sectors. By strengthening our efforts in these areas, we aim to accelerate society’s transition to clean energy,” Shibutani added.
Panasonic is set to stand as one to take on the challenges for people today and for future generations.
