Green Logistics

In order to promote Green Logistics on a global scale, Panasonic has set a target of reducing its CO₂ emission per basic unit^*1 by at least 1% every year by fiscal 2011 compared to a previous fiscal year, targeting international and domestic transportation.

In fiscal 2009, we globally emitted 880,000 tons of CO₂ from logistics activities of which international transportation accounted for 53% and domestic transportation for 19%. And 96.6% CO₂ emissions from the domestic transportation was emitted from truck transportation. For both international and domestic transportation, global CO₂ emission per basic unit decreased by 9.6% from fiscal 2008 levels, mainly due to an increase in the rate of transportation by ship.

In fiscal 2010, we will start an initiative to group-widely share the best example of our transportation partner companies and internal divisions in order to boost a level of our activities.
