For over a century, Panasonic Energy has worked to solve societal issues through energy. We have made it our mission to "Achieving a society in which the pursuit of happiness and a sustainable environment are harmonized free of conflict." and are thus strengthening our sustainability initiatives.
Approach to Environmental Initiatives
Panasonic Energy is working on sustainability (ESG) management, focusing on two material issues in the environmental field: "Achieving Decarbonization" and "Realizing a Circular Society." For both of these material issues, we have set seven KPIs and their targets for fiscal 2031 to maximize the environmental contribution and minimize the environmental impact. For more details, please visit Panasonic Energy's integrated report and sustainability page.
Achieving Decarbonization
Addressing climate change is an urgent challenge faced by all humanity. Therefore, we have defined our mission as the biggest theme our company should work on: "Achieving a society in which the pursuit of happiness and a sustainable environment are harmonized free of conflict." We are working on both "increasing avoided CO2 emissions when products, starting with lithium ion batteries for in-vehicle, are used by end users" and "reducing CO₂ emissions during battery production from raw material procurement to our factories." We are working together as a group with stakeholders to maximize our value proposition by accelerating environmental contribution and reducing our environmental impact.
Realizing a Circular Society
Our company uses many natural resources in our business. So, we believe that it is essential for us to work to utilize Earth's limited resources in a sustainable manner and pass them on to the next generation. To ensure a future for generations born today, we are expanding recycling to curtail consumption of new natural resources, and reducing waste to lessen the burden on the environment. We are also advancing in unison with measures to achieve decarbonization from the perspective of reducing the CO₂ emissions from things like materials production and product disposal.
