We held the Panasonic Electric Works Corporate Global Environment Exhibition 2008 at the Tokyo Head Office Building in Shiodome, Tokyo and the Multi-purpose Hall of the Head Office in Kadoma, Osaka on November 6 and 7, and October 16 and 17 respectively. In the exhibition, we showcased our wide-ranging initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of our activities as represented by CO2 emissions reductions, along the axis of the Panasonic Group's three 'eco ideas' ('Eco Ideas' for Manufacturing, 'Eco Ideas' for Products and 'Eco Ideas' for Everybody, Everywhere).
