Green Plan 2010

The Green Plan summarizes the specific targets and actions for environmental management that Panasonic seeks in fiscal 2011, and has been bolstered as necessary since its formulation in 2001. The Plan was redesigned into three ‘eco ideas’ after the ‘eco ideas’ Strategy announcement in October 2007, and initiatives have been promoted since then.

In fiscal 2010, targets for fiscal 2011 were achieved in almost all items, which resulted in accomplishing the initial purpose and completion of its role. We aim to become a green innovation company with a global perspective through forming/implementing new action plans from fiscal 2011.

*1 Products with the industry’s No.1 environmental performance in at least 1 of the following items: prevention of global warming, effective utilization of resources and chemical substances management
*2 CO₂ emissions / weight of products (components) transported
*3 Waste generation (including revenue-generating wastes)/Consolidated sales (without price adjustment)
