Panasonic GREEN IMPACT Panasonic GREEN IMPACT

Each action that Panasonic takes to fight global warming may be small. However, when all these actions are added together, the impact can be great.

Reducing CO2 emissions of our own value chain and society - we are calling such initiatives “Panasonic GREEN IMPACT” and we will work towards our own goal to realize a better life and a more sustainable global environment.

By 2050, Panasonic Group aims to create impact that reduces CO2 emissions by more than 300 million tons*1, or about 1% of the current total global emissions*2

*1 300 million tons calculated with 2020 emission factors
*2 33.6 billion tons of energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 (Source: IEA),

The Panasonic Group will contribute to decarbonization of society by generating the following 4 impacts in its wide-ranging business fields. These impacts will help lower society's CO2 emission factor, which will also accelerate the reduction of emissions from our own value chain.

By presenting and achieving these concrete medium-term goals up to FY25, we aim to step-by-step get closer to the ideal state.

Toward 2030, create contributions that reduce emissionsby approx.100 Mt, in addition to net-zero in-house emissions.

* Includes contributions to society in CO2 reductions through replacement purchase of products, etc.(10.99 Mt in FY2021 & 6.3 Mt in FY2025)

In FY31, as we have already committed, we aim to achieve net zero in-house emissions. In addition, in scope 3, through rigorous pursuit of energy-saving in the lifestyle business, we aim to expand own impact to 31.45 million tons. In the area of contribution impact shown at the bottom, by enhancing the competitiveness of existing businesses centered on the fields of electrification, energy efficiency, and hydrogen, we project the amount of contribution to reduction to be 93 million tons in FY31.

Increase number of zero-CO2factories Group-wide by promoting energy saving and by introducing & purchasing renewable energies to a degree that surpasses the amount of increased emissions from business growth.

I hereby reconfirm our commitment to achieving targets group-wide in FY31
by selecting the most efficient introduction and procurement of renewables.

The Panasonic Group strives to achieve carbon neutrality together with society, by creating impacts from actions that reduce CO2 emissions of our own and of various fields of society.

At Panasonic Group, we believe our most important issues are to tackle global warming and reduce our own and society’s CO2 emissions. 

Achieve net-zero CO2 emissions of all operating companies by 2030.
