Air conditioning giant Panasonic is sponsoring the Sustainable Product of the Year category in the 2011 HVR Awards being held in London this October.
Paul Taylor, the company's UK sales manager, said: 'Panasonic is delighted to be sponsoring this category in the HVR Awards this year.

'This category is particularly apt as at Panasonic we are extremely conscious of our responsibility as a global company. We recognise our role in providing sustainable business solutions and sustainable practices - at work and for the home.

'This award recognises organisations that have identified new ecologically-friendly products or services and successfully brought them to market or adapted an existing product for a new market. It's bound to be a hotly contested category.'
