Energy Saving Activities

Major challenges

Sharing energy saving case examples and promoting optimum standardization by using energy saving committee and intranet
Steady promotion of business plan with performance management and visualization
Reinforcement of energy saving activities at overseas sites

Energy saving case examples

We also engage in various activities to conserve energy. These include visualization of energy consumption, reduction of losses in HVAC systems and heating equipment in the battery manufacturing process, electrification of heating equipment and factory transport vehicles, replacement of existing equipment with high-efficiency equipment, and introduction of AI-based control systems to save electricity throughout our factories. To horizontally deploy our know-how globally and standardize our activities at a high level, we share information about our energy conservation efforts and issues at each manufacturing site through our “Environmental Commendation System” and at our “Energy Saving Network Events.”

Achieved zero-CO₂ factory* status at 10 sites globally (as of March 2023)

The Panasonic Group announced its long-term vision, “Panasonic GREEN IMPACT,” which aims to reduce its own CO₂ emissions and contribute to CO₂ emission reduction in society. Its goal is to reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 300 million tons by 2050 for the entire Panasonic Group. Prior to that, the Group aims to achieve a reduction of 93 million tons by fiscal 2031. To this end, Panasonic Energy has set an avoided CO₂ emissions target of around 60 million tons, or about two-thirds of that number, toward the materiality item of “Achieving decarbonization.”
