CES 2023 Short Reads : Panasonic Hybrid Green Event Endeavors Elevates its Green Impact Initiative

Panasonic unveiled the Green Impact programmed last year, which aimed to cut carbon dioxide emissions throughout its own value chain. By 2030, the corporation promised to have net zero CO2 emissions from internal activities. But being carbon neutral is just the start. Panasonic actually intends to cut CO2 emissions by more than 300 million tonnes by 2050, or nearly 1% of current global emissions overall.

Presented under the exhibition theme of GREEN IMPACT. Panasonic has highlighted its commitment to its Green Impact Program (GPI). The hybrid experience at CES 2023 consisted of a physical and online exhibition area: Park, Town, Mobility, Home that helped people understand how Panasonic initiatives and technologies would help solve environmental concerns that would impact people's lives.

Eco Friendly Event Venue

The venue booths was created using reduced number of building and flooring materials possible, as well as a high percentage of recycled materials. The displays of products in each area are set against sustainable bamboo backboards.

At the main entrance of Panasonic GREEN IMPACT City, visitors were greeted by a concept tree composed entirely of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) that generate renewable energy and add a dash of color this open space where people gather.

Digital and Interactive Experiences

The Green Impact campaign was also highlighted through an immersive and interactive experience that Panasonic designed. The encounters were roughly based on the areas of the actual event booth. The immersive 3D experience was designed to work well on a range of devices with no latency. The booth has a smart city area where the company highlights its energy tech, mobility, energy-efficient home products and products dedicated to well being as well
