The mission of the Panasonic Group is to realize an ideal society offering material and spiritual affluence, prosperity both in matter and mind, which our founder Konosuke Matsushita had pursued throughout his life.
Since the foundation of Matsushita Electric in 1918, Konosuke pursued his mission while developing his business. In 1932, he finally became aware of the true mission of an industrialist, which was to overcome poverty through business, aiming for the realization of an ideal society with prosperity both in matter and mind.
Since its founding, the Panasonic Group has addressed social issues at different times and has operated business for people's happiness to realize an ideal society. To ensure the achievement of our mission, the Panasonic Group is focused on addressing global environmental issues, which we consider our most pressing and important challenge, and aims to contribute to the health, safety, and comfort of each and every customer throughout their lives by leveraging the wide-ranging capabilities of our Group. Above all, we must halt global warming, the most serious challenge, as early as possible.
Based on this sense of mission, we announced Panasonic GREEN IMPACT, our long-term environmental vision, in January 2022. We aim to create an impact that reduces CO₂ emissions by more than 300 million tons by 2050 . The key to achieving the target lies in the initiatives underway in the business area handled by Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd., one of the Panasonic Group's operating companies. For example, our Group aims to achieve avoided emissions of 93 million tons in 2030 , with 60 million tons contributed by the battery business.
Given such high expectations, our battery business has continued to take on a broad range of challenges since its inception in 1923. In this exhibition, we will reflect on the history of our battery business and introduce you to its current role as the hub of Panasonic GREEN IMPACT, as well as its vision for the future.
