Panasonic Corporation announced “Panasonic GREEN IMPACT,” a commitment to reduce CO2 emissions from its own business operations and value chain while also expanding contributions to society’s CO2 emissions.
Panasonic is showcasing environmental solutions at CES 2022, including hydrogen energy, such as pure hydrogen fuel cells, air to water heat pumps, and advanced batteries for electric vehicles, on the virtual site.
In a message at Panasonic’s press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Panasonic Group CEO Yuki Kusumi said, “First, we commit to reduce the CO2 emissions of all operating companies to net zero by 2030. But as we have seen, we have a far greater emission in the form of electricity consumption by our products. So we will reduce this by developing new technologies and solutions to increase their efficiency.”
“Furthermore, we will also reduce the CO2 emissions of society, through providing our energy-saving solutions and clean energy technologies to B2B and B2G customers. This is the category called “Avoided Emissions”, the standards of which are being discussed at the International Electrotechnical Commission. We will strengthen our efforts in this area towards 2050, aiming to accelerate the society’s transition to clean energy, which will also accelerate the reduction of CO2 from our own value chain.”
“Yes, we do have great impact. But we aim to have an even greater, positive impact. And that’s why we have decided to call our contributions to reduce our customers’ CO2 emissions “Panasonic Green Impact”. This is our commitment to contribute to a more sustainable future.”
