Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility in Europe

The European CSR activities are focussing on three major pillars as Environment, Society and Workplace. With our activities we want to act with the spirit of our founder, Konosuke Matsushita and contribute to the society and the environment in which we live.

"A company is a public Entity of Society. The mission of a corporation is to contribute to society. The company must exist harmoniously with each community and environment" - Konosuke Matsushita.

“We are firmly committed, as a public entity of society, to making concerted efforts to implement our unchanging management philosophy around the world.

Enriching people's lives naturally requires technology for new and better products. But this is not enough for us to come up with ideas to provide better living. Panasonic wants to help realize a mature society in which individuals and society as a whole grow together, where everyone enjoys a fulfilling life that is safe and secure. We also envision a sustainable society which is in harmony with nature. With these goals in mind, we at Panasonic will ever more closely align our business with the views of customers, incorporating those views into our manufacturing activities.

Living in harmony with the global environment is everyone's responsibility. There is no place for a company that does not fully embrace this spirit. Panasonic is working to reduce the environmental impact in all its business activities.”
