Global Eco Projects

Panasonic Corporation of Latin America announced its ‘eco ideas’ Declaration in Latin America in April 2010.

One of the targets listed in the Declaration refers to a 10% reduction in CO₂ emissions from production activities within the region by fiscal 2013, and efforts have already begun.

As a part of these efforts, a team of intra-company experts conducted energy-saving diagnoses in Panasonic Brazil Manus Factory and Panasonic Mexico in October 2010. Based on the results, 27 energy saving measures to achieve 480 tons of CO₂ emissions reduction were suggested, and these measures are currently being implemented.

In April 2010, Panasonic Mexico held a recycling-themed event, which 100 employees and 300 external stakeholders attended. The children who participated in the event created a photo stand or pencil case using recycled materials collected by the employees.

The Beach Cleanup 2010 took place on September 26, 2010, as a part of the International Coastal Cleanup Day in which volunteers collect rubbish on the beach across 100 countries. Panasonic Corporation of Latin America sponsored the event and our employees participated in the cleaning activity. The Panasonic group collected approx. 1.4 tons of rubbish.
