Underlying Panasonic's corporate mission since the 1920's is the idea formulated by our founder, Konosuke Matsushita, that the corporation, as a public institution, is "only able to exist if it receives the support of society and therefore, in turn, must contribute to society."

In adherence to this mission, Panasonic is committed to an extensive number of citizenship activities around the world focusing on three key areas: education, the environment, and the community, in addition to providing assistance for disaster relief.
