Green Plan 2010:
In order to implement our Environmental Vision, Panasonic launched the "Green Plan 2010" (GP2010), a medium-term environmental action plan with targets extending as far as 2010, as the name suggests.
In 2005, as the plan reached its half-way point, we also comprehensively reviewed our direction and target levels. In the new version of GP2010, we categorized our core targets into three groups: those issues which we consider most important in terms of environmental management are classified as "Basic Targets"; issues which should be tackled individually within their field are classified as "Area Targets", and those issues that require management reorganization are "Management Targets".
We have also defined individual environmental indicators as "Environment Performance Targets", which support the achievement of the core targets in the above-mentioned three categories. |

New Lifestyle:
Panasonic actively promotes many environmental initiatives and harmonious
co-existence with the global environment in all its business practices. For many years, our environmental thinking and action has been based on a closed cycle where design, manufacturing, use and recycling criteria are intertwined.
Panasonic's policy is to minimize emissions of CO2, waste, and chemical substances during the product lifecycle while enhancing the Quality of Life of our customers. We call this idea "Creating Value for a New Lifestyle".
Further, for many yearsw e have been initiating media campaigns to raise awareness of recycling and general environmental good practice.
