To be a society where children can grow up safe and sound.
Panasonic’s "Kids Design"
also helps adults who are raising children.
What can Panasonic do to improve children's daily lives? In addition to creating products with an eye to preventing the sort of accidents that children tend to get into, we also want to nurture their creativity. That should help with their peace of mind. Panasonic wants to create a society where each child can show their individuality.
