Panasonic is pursuing “a Better Life, a Better World” for its customers while
carrying forward the Company’s core DNA of consumer electronics. The scope of
the Company’s activities has expanded into such wide-ranging areas as the BtoB
business including the housing, automotive, BtoB solutions, and devices fields.
Today, more than 70% of Panasonic’s total net sales are derived from areas
outside consumer electronics (fiscal 2014 results). Looking ahead, the Company
will target ¥10 trillion in sales in fiscal 2019 as well as sales growth with profitability
in each business area.

working diligently to foster R&D personnel while
developing products that are deeply rooted in
the local community.
