ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS
Additionally, Panasonic aims to deliver greener products. This
entails not only using sustainable materials or building recyclability
into the product design – but also ensuring that the products
effi ciently conserve energy. Panasonic aims to increase the number
of products with top-level, energy-effi cient performance whilst
phasing out products with low energy effi ciency.
PANASONIC ECO IDEAS DECLARATION

business plan, Mr Fumio Ohtsubo, President of Matsushita Electric
Industrial, recently announced the Panasonic Eco Ideas declaration
comprising three pledges:
1. We will produce energy efficient products
2. We will reduce CO

emissions across all our manufacturing sites
3. We will encourage the rollout of environmental activities worldwide
So what do these pledges mean in practice?
