Global：Panasonic ECO RELAY World Action 2024 Results Initial Report
Panasonic ECO RELAY World Action 2024, which started on June 5 (World Environment Day), ended on August 30. It gathered 56,022 actions from 35 countries and regions worldwide, leading to the decision to plant 560 trees.
The Eco Runner section, which is a special website that introduces personal eco actions, gathered a wide variety of eco ideas from 144 in 15 countries and regions around the world. We will announce where the trees are to be planted on our website some time around October.
Under Panasonic GREEN IMPACT, our long-term environmental vision, the Panasonic Group is stepping up efforts to create a better way of living and a sustainable global environment by reducing CO2 emissions in our business operations and helping our customers and society to do the same.
As part of our corporate citizenship activities, we have promoted Panasonic ECO RELAY since 2008 for employees worldwide to plan and implement environmental conservation activities rooted in a particular country or region, such as tree planting, clean-ups, and environmental education.
In addition to these eco actions in each country and region, World Action was implemented as a common global program for employees worldwide to share beyond their own country or region easy-to-do everyday activities at home, in the workplace, while commuting, during breaks and so on.
It resulted in many actions being undertaken while being cleverly coordinated with independent local initiatives already being carried out by overseas companies and operating companies.
(1) In China the months from June to August are set as environmental enhancement period. As of August, 779 people from 15 companies took part.
(2) It was promoted as part of a corporate citizenship activity program launched in Thailand in 2023.
(3) Activities in Japan include providing environmentally friendly dishes in employee cafeterias and placing water purifiers for personalized drink bottles.
(4) In Europe ten Lunch and Learn sessions were held during the Environment Month of June, encouraging volunteer activities and finding many employees interested in eco actions.
We appreciate sincerely those in each country and company who cooperated in publicizing and promoting World Action and those who took part in it.
The World Action special website will continue to accept and introduce Eco Runner ideas. We will continue to share information relating to eco actions and look forward to plenty of people accessing our website!
