PANASONIC'S ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT THAT ADDS VALUE TO LIFE

Since 1981, the second week of January has been celebrated as Energy Saving Week every year in order to increase the awareness of energy culture and efficiency in society. Among the most sensitive brands in this regard is Panasonic Eco Solutions Turkey, the strong company of the sector. Panasonic Eco Solutions Turkey is exhibiting free games to raise awareness of energy efficiency, conservation of natural resources, recycling and protection against electrical home accidents to primary school students with the VIKO by Panasonic Children's Theatre team, which was created within the scope of the 'Energy Efficiency in Schools for a Bright Future' project that it has been carrying out since 2012. The goal is to reach 1 million students... Natural resources that are being depleted every day and the polluted environment are endangering the future of our world and humanity. The price paid for energy is increasing day by day. In this context, it is of great importance to raise awareness of our children, who are the guarantee of our future, about energy use and consumption. Created by Panasonic Eco Solutions Turkey, known for its exemplary projects in the field of corporate social responsibility**, VIKO by Panasonic Children's Theatre raises children's** awareness on this issue by exhibiting its play 'A Bright Future' whose theme is energy efficiency. Panasonic Eco Solutions Turkey has achieved a record by reaching 620 thousand primary school students in approximately 7 years in the 'Energy Efficiency in Schools for a Bright Future' project carried out together with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education. The big goal is to reach 1 million students. "We should take more responsible approaches to the conscious consumption of natural resources..." Emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency, Corporate Brand Management General Manager Aysel Özaltınok said, "In the period we are in, it is the common responsibility of all of us to leave a more livable world to future generations. As you all know, our natural resources are being depleted, global warming is becoming an increasingly big threat, the environment is becoming polluted. I would also like to emphasize that as a country, we import a large part of the energy. And for all these reasons, as all segments of society, we must take a more responsible approach to energy efficiency and conscious consumption of natural resources." expresses the importance they attach to the project. Close it if it is unnecessary, illuminate the future... Within the scope of this project, Panasonic Eco Solutions Turkey is also conducting 'School Energy Manager' training in order to ensure the participation and support of teachers in the project. The project, which is implemented in schools every year in order to make the responsibility for energy efficiency a permanent awareness, aims to contribute to a meaningful reduction in the energy consumption of primary and secondary schools in Istanbul in the coming period. In order to strengthen the project implementations carried out in schools, awareness posters and 'If Unnecessary, Turn it Off, Illuminate the Future' warning signs are hung on all electrical switches. Students who take part in the Energy Efficiency Clubs, which were created to ensure the effective participation of students in the project, carry out many studies on energy efficiency issues with their teachers. At the end of each academic year, the exemplary schools in the project are awarded with the competition organized among the schools participating in the project and other schools are encouraged.
