Community contribution activities (Panasonic Eco Relay for Sustainable Earth)

This symbol represents the community contribution activities promoted by the Panasonic Group.

Employees of the Panasonic Group plan and implement various environmental activities rooted in local communities, involving local residents, children, and employees' families. With the intention of passing these efforts on to subsequent generations, we named this initiative the Panasonic Eco Relay for Sustainable Earth, aiming to contribute to a sustainable global environment and society as responsible global citizens.
We are involved in these activities as members of the Panasonic Group. Each employee worldwide proactively implements environmental activities as a global citizen to contribute to local environments in their business site. Here we introduce some of those activities.
