Editorial Policy for Our Sustainability Website and Sustainability Data Book 2026
Basic Approach
Our Sustainability website and Sustainability Data Book provide comprehensive, detailed information on our sustainability initiatives. The website provides updated information throughout the year, while information that should be archived annually is compiled and published as a data book in PDF format once a year.
Scope of Reporting
Except when noted otherwise, results are calculated based on the following:
■ Period: Fiscal 2026 (April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026)
Some information includes past data and data covering the period after April 1, 2026, with the time periods specified.
■ Organization: Panasonic Group (Panasonic Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries).
Some consolidated subsidiaries that joined the Group through acquisitions or other means may not be included.
Unless otherwise noted, performance data includes Panasonic Housing Solutions Co., Ltd. (PHS) for the period from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026; however, PHS is excluded from data as of March 31, 2026.
In addition, unless otherwise noted, historical performance data includes Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. (PAS) through November 30, 2024.
In this Data Book, “the Company” refers to Panasonic Holdings Corporation, and “we,” “Panasonic,” and “the Group” refer to the Panasonic Group mentioned above.
■ Data:
- Data concerning manufacturing sites cover all the manufacturing sites (totaling 213) that constitute the Panasonic Group’s environmental management system
- Energy data and CO2 emissions data from energy sources are added for non-manufacturing sites (totaling 84)
- Data for which the fiscal year and region are not expressly stated are global results for fiscal 2026
- GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials. Hence, the selection of a different but acceptable measurement method, activity data, emission factors, and relevant assumptions or parameters could have resulted in materially different amounts being reported.
