Since its foundation in 1918, Panasonic Corporation has been
guided by its basic management philosophy, which states
that the mission of an enterprise is to contribute to the
progress and development of society and the well-being of
people worldwide.
In January 2012, Panasonic undertook a major reorgani-
zation of its Group-wide businesses including Panasonic
Electric Works Co., Ltd. and SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. Through
this process of reorganization, the Company has shifted to
a business model-based structure that focuses on the
perspectives of its customers. Under this new structure, every
effort is channeled toward creating synergies that take full
advantage of the Group’s products, systems, and services.
Always keeping in mind its brand slogan, Panasonic ideas
for life, the Company will continue to enrich the lives of people
around the world and contribute the future of the earth and
the progress of society.
Panasonic has positioned the environment at
the heart of all its business activities as it aims
to become the No. 1 Green Innovation
Company in the Electronics Industry.
The Company will endeavor to secure a sustainable society
in tandem with business growth by promoting Green Life
Innovation that helps realize green lifestyles to enrich people’s
lives, and Green Business Innovation to help reduce the
environmental impact of its business activities to the greatest
extent possible while recommending that this kind of business
style be taken up across society.
The ‘eco ideas’ mark symbolizes Panasonic’s strong
commitment to continuous environmental sustainability
management.
