Also, at ASIS International 2011 ( http://www.asis2011.org), Panasonic System Networks Company of America announced it is focusing on integrated solutions and highlighted a range of innovative systems providing affordability and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

"The excellent performance and versatility of Panasonic video surveillance solutions provides the core imaging platform for a wide range of specialized systems tailored to meet the needs of vertical markets," said Bill Taylor, President, Panasonic System Networks Company of America. "As we continue to develop new and innovative video surveillance products with open architecture, we are working more closely than ever with companies that specialize in applications for specific markets."

Panasonic also announced it is highlighting its corporate green initiative to emphasize the growing importance of environmental conservation in manufacturing and energy consumption, as well as the role of security and video surveillance systems to help realize these objectives.

Panasonic's green initiative begins with the corporate "eco ideas" commitment to produce energy-efficient products, reduce CO2 emissions in manufacturing and encourage the global growth of environmental activities. Panasonic has achieved ISO 14001 certification for environmental management of its manufacturing sites by reducing emissions, employing materials recycling procedures and developing manufacturing practices that produce low material waste. Panasonic is also certified RoHS-compliant, representing a significant reduction in the use of lead and other hazardous materials in manufacturing. Panasonic cameras and other system components are designed to consume less power, reduce materials usage, and enable simplified system design.

This year, Panasonic was the only consumer electronics company to be listed in the top ten brands on the Interbrand Best Global Green Brands 2011 ranking (www.interbrand.com/en/best-global-brands/Best-Global-Green-Brands/2011-Report/BestGlobalGreenBrandsTable-2011.aspx).
