Panasonic's Security Solutions Start With Energy-Efficient Products

Sensitive to environmental considerations in the security and video
surveillance industry, Panasonic System Networks Company of America
is taking leadership by offering products manufactured in
energy-efficient facilities, using fewer hazardous materials and
emitting less CO2, and which also consume less power than previous
Panasonic comparable models. Panasonic also strives for a reduced
environmental impact by simplifying system designs and using less
material in the manufacturing process.
Panasonic's sustainability initiatives reflect the company's
long-standing commitment to environmentally responsible practices
in procurement, production, transportation, operation and product
end-of-life management. Highlights of Panasonic's environmental
initiatives as applied to security and video surveillance
include:
- Reducing the power consumption of Panasonic's video
surveillance cameras by 47 percent over previous models. Other
Panasonic security products are also designed for energy-efficient
operation in both on-mode and standby operation.
- Developing smaller-sized products that require less material in
manufacture, conserving natural resources and yielding less
material to recycle or safely discard at the end of product
life.
- Creating products that enable the re-use of existing resources
which helps to reduce waste. For example, Panasonic's BY-HPE111KT
LAN Converter enables IP camera video data to be transmitted over
existing coaxial cable
- Engineering systems that require fewer physical products in
order to minimize environmental impact. For example, Panasonic's
WJ-NV200 network disk recorder does not require a separate PC, and
Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions enable use of less cable.
- Achieving ISO14001 certification for environmental management
at Panasonic's global manufacturing facilities. This is
accomplished by reducing CO2emissions and optimizing productivity
across all manufacturing processes, from minimizing material waste
to recycling water, other fluids and materials.
- Complying with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
directive by the European Union, based on a significant reduction
in the use, and in some cases elimination, of lead and five other
hazardous substances.
"Protecting natural resources is a key element of good corporate
citizenship, and we in the security industry should help to
conserve our planet's resources and minimize our negative impact on
the environment," said Bill Taylor, President, Panasonic System
Networks Company of America. "It's time for all of us to develop a
greener consciousness and to translate that consciousness into
action, and Panasonic is committed to doing our part."
Recognition of Panasonic's environmental activities has come
from a number of external sustainability and investor rating
organizations.
- 2011 Tomorrow's Value Rating (Aaa)
- 2011 Interbrand's Global Best Green Brands
- 2011 Newsweek Green Rankings
- 2011 FTSE4 Good Global Index
- SAM 2011 Gold Class
- 2011 Dow Jones Sustainability Index
- 2011 Global Index of Most Sustainable Companies
Panasonic's "eco ideas" initiatives reflect a company-wide
commitment to environmental awareness and responsibility. To
promote greater transparency in its more sustainable operations,
Panasonic has opened its manufacturing sites to the public to
enable stakeholders to visit freely and observe environmental
activities. In Shiga prefecture in Japan, Panasonic has named the
Kusatsu factory an "eco ideas" factory. The Kusatsu facility uses
bio-diesel fuel, utilizes more sustainable factory operations and
promotes environmental education. Panasonic also has designated
"eco ideas" factories in Czech Republic, Malaysia, Thailand and
Singapore. More information on Panasonic's global green initiatives
is found at the "eco ideas" micro site at
