Clean Factories - Effective Use of Water Resources

In fiscal 2007, we reduced water consumption per unit of sales^* by 38% from the fiscal 2001 level against our target of 6%.
   Located in China, where there is a shortage of water resources, Beijing Matsushita Color CRT Co., Ltd. reduced water consumption by 24% from 2006 levels, by introducing an advanced water treatment system. This achievement in China contributed to a reduction of water consumption on a global basis by 4% from the fiscal 2006 level. Although reduction of water consumption is categorized as a voluntary item under CF Accreditation system, we encourage each business site to set its own water-reduction targets, based on regional characteristics.
