Environmental compliance management at factories
Panasonic regularly measures emissions of gas, wastewater, noise, etc., and introduces preventative measures for cases that may lead to serious violations. Such information is shared both internally and externally to fulfill our corporate responsibility for information disclosure.
In fiscal 2012, there were two cases of legal violation in Japan and one outside Japan. In response, we made the necessary notifications to local governments and implemented countermeasures.
