The environmental century
|
|
The 21st century will be known as the "environmental century". During this century, not only will corporate action be necessary but social systems and personal values will have to be redefined. In this respect, each company, each institution and each individual plays an important role. For this reason, policies in harmony with the environment are central to all of Panasonic's corporate activities, expressed clearly in our "Environmental Statement": "Fully aware that humankind has a responsibility to respect and preserve the delicate balance of nature, we at Panasonic acknowledge our obligation to maintain and nurture the ecology of this planet. Accordingly, we pledge ourselves to the prudent, sustainable use of the earth's resources and the protection of the natural environment, while we strive to fulfil our corporate mission of contributing to enhanced prosperity for all." The idea of respecting the environment and society is not new for Panasonic; it is part of the corporate guidelines laid down by our founder, Konosuke Matsushita, over 75 years ago.

Environmental vision
|
|
In suit with its "Environmental Statement", Panasonic has announced its new vision for the environment. It is based upon an economic policy in harmony with the environment. We thereby commit ourselves to a concept that connects environmentally friendly technologies with ecological thought and is dedicated to creating a recycling-oriented society.
To realize its environmental vision, Panasonic introduced the "Green Plan 2010". One of this plan's major goals is to reduce the corporate group's CO2 emissions to the level of the year 2000 by our fiscal year 2010. These activities are summarized under the title "eco ideas".

The "eco ideas" concept: "Eco ideas" encompass the following areas: the production of environmentally friendly products, the conscious, responsible handling of chemicals during the manufacturing process, reducing waste and conservation of natural resources.
