Panasonic Homes Co., Ltd. has published the "Environmental Report 2025," which compiles the company's environmental initiatives, and made it available on our corporate information website.
The philosophy of "harmony with nature" has been at the foundation of Panasonic Homes' housing construction since its establishment. As environmental issues surrounding housing, such as the intensification of climate change and the transition to a decarbonized society, are changing at an unprecedented speed, we have continued our activities with this philosophy in mind, aiming to realize sustainable living. As a member of the Prime Life Technologies (hereinafter PLT) Group, we are aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 and have set an interim goal for our housing business to "reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by fiscal 2030 compared to fiscal 2020."
This report organizes and discloses our current environmental initiatives and progress. Furthermore, by visualizing our efforts on a wide range of environmental themes such as resource conservation, resource circulation, and biodiversity conservation, we hope to make this the foundation for dialogue with stakeholders to build a sustainable future together.
■ Main Contents of "Environmental Report 2025"
1. Thoughts on the Environment (P.4-6)
Based on the thoughts on "environment" and "housing" communicated by founder Konosuke Matsushita, executive officers in charge will introduce through their messages what kind of mindset our company currently holds while conducting each business. We explain our initiatives from the past to the present toward a sustainable society from two perspectives: "products" and "company-wide."
2. Toward Achieving Carbon Neutrality (P.9-11)
We are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the PLT Group's policies.
This report describes the details of measures advanced in each area related to our business, from the procurement stage to the usage stage.
Example 1: Product development aiming to improve the ZEH ratio
We are promoting the spread of ZEH by developing products that clear the highest standard A of the "Tokyo Zero Emission Housing" in all dwelling units, and expanding the multi-story housing "NEW Vieuno."
Example 2: Shifting business sites to renewable energy towards realizing "RE100"
Towards "RE100," an initiative of the PLT Group, we are promoting the shift to renewable energy for electricity used at 100 exhibition halls nationwide. At our factories, we have installed rooftop solar power generation equipment (on-site PPA) and use renewable energy electricity.
3. Toward Resource Conservation and Resource Circulation (P.12-13)
We are advancing initiatives for resource conservation and circulation, such as zero emissions at factories, sorting and recycling at construction sites, reducing scrap materials through pre-cutting, reusing materials, and reducing packaging materials.
Example 1: Effective use of resources with choices that do not rely on rebuilding
We are developing a purchasing and resale business that buys existing homes, remodels them, and enhances their value.
We are also promoting circular housing construction, such as initiatives to renovate and utilize existing exhibition halls.
Example 2: Resource conservation through collaboration with partners
Through collaboration with other companies, recycling of blue sheets, which was previously difficult, has become possible.
In addition, we have achieved resource conservation from product delivery to collection by introducing rental curing materials.
4. Toward Biodiversity Conservation (P.14-15)
We are striving for coexistence with the natural environment through five activities: procurement, town development/house building, corporate green spaces, factories, and collaboration with the local community.
Example 1: Town development at the large residential area "Winds Town Kobe Mizukidai"
In this residential area, which has acquired ABINC certification, we have devised ways for residents to proactively participate in town development through community maintenance and events, in addition to biodiversity-friendly designs such as a butterfly garden to encourage the arrival of chestnut tigers.
Example 2: Biodiversity conservation initiatives utilizing the head office site
