Initiatives for SDGs

SDGs, which stands for “Sustainable Development Goals”, was adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015 as a common goal of the international community aiming for a sustainable and better world.

Based on the management philosophy since its founding, Panasonic will continue to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs through its wide range of corporate activities including collaborations and co-creation with various stakeholders, specifically on business activities that provide products and services that contribute to customers.

Using our brand slogan of "A Better Life, A Better World" as a base, which describes how Panasonic believes that "a company is a part of society and contributes to society through its business activities," we will contribute to achieving the SDGs through our corporate activities, and by promoting collaboration and co-creation with our stakeholders. Our corporate activities can be divided into three main categories. The largest would be "1. Providing value through our corporate values." The other two are "2. Promoting responsible corporate activities" and "3. Contributing to society through our companies and employees." In regards to the first category, we leverage our technologies and expertise to provide innovative products, solutions, and services to our customers that can contribute to making their lives, society, and th global environment more sustainable. For the second category, we fulfill our corporate social responsibilities (CSR) through our business activities and by creating value. Finally, to achieve the third set of goals we cater our corporate civic activities towards the creation of a "symbiotic society" where everyone can live together in harmony.
