Panasonic pledges to cut carbon emissionsA leading electronics company will improve its operations management processes over the coming years as part of a pledge to cut its carbon emissions.

Panasonic has committed to a 50 per cent reduction (120 million tonnes) in the level of greenhouse gases produced compared with 2006 levels by 2018 by maximising its use of resources.

Operations training courses may be required by the technology giant in order to meet its ambitious green targets and reduce its impact on the environment by its 100th anniversary year.

In a statement, the group said that in addition to minimising emissions from its business operations, it also plans to "introduce to the market its technologies, ideas and measures derived from such efforts", implementing techniques such as "recycling-oriented manufacturing" and "green work-style".

Commenting on the move by Panasonic, a spokesperson for therenewableenergycentre.co.uk described it as "a very positive step forward" that will help businesses, manufacturers and consumers "move towards a greener way of life".ADNFCR-3058-ID-19559912-ADNFCR
