About Panasonic
Environmental Sustainability Management
Pursuing contribution to 'Coexistence with the global environment' as one of our business visions, we're promoting environmental sustainability management based on ‘eco ideas’ Strategy and Environmental Action Plan.
Basic Policy for the Environment
Panasonic's corporate mission is to improve and enhance people's lives, contributing to the progress and development of society through our wide-ranging business activities. Reflecting the philosophy embodied in this mission, on June 5, 1991, we adopted the Environmental Charter, pledging in our Environmental Statement to preserve the earth's resources and protect our natural surroundings. Based on this charter, we have been promoting environmental initiatives that acknowledge our obligation to maintain and nurture the ecology of this planet. The 21st century has been dubbed the century of the environment, in which every company, public organization and private citizen will play a crucial role in redefining not only corporate activities, but social systems and people's values as well. Since we have established Green Plan 2010, which outlines our vision for meeting specific environmental targets, we reviewed the targets every year and challenged the stricter ones. Panasonic announced ‘eco ideas’ Strategy in October, 2007, and further promote its environmental sustainability management.
