Promoting next-generation environmental awareness at the Russian Seliger Forum

PRA promoted environmental awareness for the next generation at the Seliger Forum, an educational forum for young people, hosted by the Russian Federal Agency for Youth.

Panasonic actively participated in the Forum as the first main partner for Eco Week, newly established in the Forum in July 2011. Our employees ran seminars and we led all participants in cleaning up the woodland near the venue. We also awarded prizes for the best environmental projects submitted by the Forum participants.

Further, Panasonic offered help with the broadcasting equipment and in organizing seminars during the Forum. We will continue to provide support to the award-winning projects to help them achieve their goals.

Eco activities across the continent on World Environment Day

Employees of Panasonic Marketing CIS, together with family members, conducted various eco activities on June 5, World Environment Day.

In Russia, we led tree planting, cleaning, and forest management in 17 locations. At the suggestion of employees, the money usually spent for snacks and recreation on the day was saved and donated to relief work for the Great East Japan Earthquake.

In Kazakhstan, we organized tree planting and a kick-off ceremony for the Eco Picture Diary Contest at a school for children with disabilities.
