Declaration to Become an Environmentally Contributing Company in China
In September 2007, Panasonic held the China Environmental Forum, where we publicized concrete action targets concerning products, factories, and employees’ activities as the Declaration to Become an Environmentally Contributing Company in China.
Two years later in May 2009, Panasonic also held the China Environmental Forum 2009 and declared to be a model company in China through further intensified environmental contributions. We are now disseminating our environmental technologies and expertise widely across the Chinese society through a range of activities.
Progressive acquisition of environmental labels in China
As of March 1, 2011, the energy efficiency labeling for flat screen TVs became obligatory in China. This label displays the product’s energy-saving performance in three grades. Panasonic acquired the top-grade energy efficiency label for all models of our plasma TVs released in fiscal 2011.
We are also actively obtaining voluntary environmental labels* and acquired a total of 459 labels for a variety of products, including air conditioners and washing machines, in fiscal 2011.
- * China Environmental Labeling, Energy and Water Conservation Labeling, and China Ecolabeling.

Green Factory Competition initiative

In order to boost a level of environmental activities throughout the production sites in China and Northeast Asia, Panasonic has been holding an intra-company award scheme, the China Green Factory (GF) Competition, since fiscal 2008. For the fiscal 2011 competition, we have invited model cases in four categories: energy saving, resources recycling, chemical substance reduction, and water conservation, and gave awarded for the best practices. The applicant cases were introduced to all Chinese factories as GF Competition model cases, to share and implement expertise concerning these model practices across all sites. A total of 107 cases applied for the competition, and all together they reduced 15,200 tons of CO2 emissions, 400 tons of wastes, 40 tons of chemical substances, and 121,000 tons of water usage.
Development of environmental experts in Chinese corporations

Panasonic offers environmental expert training to Chinese corporations as a model environmentally contributing company in China.
In fiscal 2011, in collaboration with various organizations we provided a total of nine training courses to 892 attendants from 710 Chinese corporations.
Tree planting and environmental education for children
In June 2009, we started the “One Million Trees over 10 Years” tree planting program and “One Million Children over 10 Years” environmental education activity. Utilizing a curriculum for younger children—exclusively developed by Panasonic China—along with global environmental education material for older children newly developed by Panasonic headquarter, the program was provided to about 63,000 children in fiscal 2011. The number of trees planted during fiscal 2011 reached approx. 52,000.
