This is the category called ‘Avoided Emissions,’ the standards of which are being discussed at the International Electrotechnical Commission.
“We will strengthen our efforts in this area towards 2050, aiming to accelerate the society’s transition to clean energy, which will also accelerate the reduction of CO2 from our own value chain.
“Yes, we do have great impact. But we aim to have an even greater, positive impact. And that’s why we have decided to call our contributions to reduce our customers’ CO2 emissions ‘Panasonic Green Impact.’ This is our commitment to contribute to a more sustainable future,” she added.
