Overview of Environmental Impact and Environmental Accounting

Production: 218 manufacturing sites and 74 non-manufacturing sites
Logistics: Logistics stage of procurement, production, marketing and waste by partner companies and Panasonic.
Product use: Lifetime power consumption (a) of major products^*9 with large amounts of energy use and CO₂ emissions (b) associated therewith.
a = Annual power consumption of a model sold^*10 x Sales quantity x product life^*11
b = Annual power consumption of a model sold^*10 x Sales quantity x product life^*11 x CO₂ emission factor^*12
Recycling: Recycling of products means to use by oneself or to make into a state available for sale or free of charge the components and materials of a separated product.

*1 Included renewable energy by deemed certifications such as non-fossil certificates.
*2 Target substances include all substances in the Panasonic Group Chemical Substances Management Rank Guidelines (For Factories).
*3 The factors related to fuels are based on "the Guidelines for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (version 4.7)" published by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment.
The latest figures from the "IEA Emissions Factors 2024" issued by the International Energy Agency (IEA) is used for the CO₂ emission factors for electricity purchased from different countries use. The factors for domestically purchased electricity in Japan for fiscal 2025 stated in the "Guidelines for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions" published by Japan's Ministry of the Environment.
*4 Release amount: Includes emissions to air, public water areas, and soil.
Transfer amount: Includes transfer as waste and discharge into the sewage system. Recycling that is free of charge or recycling where we pay a fee for treatment under the Waste Management and Public Cleaning Law is included in "Transfer." (Different from the transferred amount reported under the PRTR Law.)
*5 Intra-region outside Japan not included.
*6 Included refrigerant leakage in sold product use.
*7 Air conditioners, TVs, refrigerators/freezers, and washing machines/clothes dryers
*8 As for personal computers, PC 3R Promotion Association collects and recycles PCs under the joint scheme with member companies.
*9 Lighting equipment and lamps, Household air conditioners, commercial air conditioners, household refrigerators, washing and drying machines, ventilation fans, bathroom ventilation dryers, electric water heaters, electric fans, A2W (Hot-Water and Heating Systems with Heat Pump), EcoCute, electronic rice cookers, dish washer and dryers, LCD TVs, Organic EL TVs, microwave ovens, heat exchange systems, blowers, chip mounters, commercial display Cases, hair dryers, IH cooking heaters, dehumidifiers, range hoods, vacuum cleaners, irons, electric thermos pots, projectors, digital Signage, welding machine, welding robot, insertion equipment, printing equipment, Mobile Computer, electric bidet toilet seats, freezers, commercial refrigerators and freezers, absorption freezers, well water pumps, telephones, air purifiers, faxes, humidifiers, digital cameras, headphones, electrically-assisted bicycle, motors for air conditioning, motors for refrigerator, motors for FA application, etc.
*10 For each product category, the model that was sold in the largest quantity in the region was selected.
*11 Number of years during which spare parts for the product are available (defined by the Panasonic Group).
*12 Regional CO₂ emission factors (kg-CO₂/kWh) used: 0.464 (Japan); 0.280 (Europe); 0.355 (North America); 0.589 (China & Northeast Asia); 0.732 (India & South Asia); 0.379 (Southeast Asia & Oceania); 0.222 (Latin America); and 0.379 (Middle East & Africa).
*13 Hussmann Parent Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries not included.

We calculate our GHG emissions across the supply chain for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, respectively, according to the GHG Protocol and the guidelines provided by the Ministry of the Environment.

In fiscal 2025, the entire emissions for Scopes 1 to 3 totaled 145.62 million tons. The largest source of emissions per category was from Category 11 under Scope 3, which accounted for 76% of the entire emissions.

Compared with fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025 saw an increase in emissions of 19.1 million tons. The major cause was the proactive expansion of businesses covered under Category 11, causing that category's emissions to increase by 20.13 million tons. Also, facility investment anticipating business growth increased the Category 2 emissions by 480,000 tons. On the other hand, we reduced Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 150,000 tons, thanks to steady efforts in implementing various energy-saving schemes and further introduction of renewable energy.

We continue to disclose our emission data for transparency.
