Panasonic Office of Social Impact & Inclusion

Creating a better community for all

Panasonic has been a purpose-driven company since its inception over a century ago. Our founder, Konosuke Matsushita, knew that at the core of every successful institution is a giving heart. Mr. Matsushita's business philosophy sparked a legacy of fundamental principles that begin with “Contribution to Society” and end with "Gratitude."

In keeping with these core principles, Panasonic is committed to driving positive change through technology. Our Office of Social Impact & Inclusion is helping to achieve this through employee volunteerism, corporate outreach initiatives and strategic philanthropic investments.

Employee Volunteerism

At Panasonic, we know that communities become stronger through volunteering – that’s why we encourage our employees to follow their passion for giving back by providing five days of paid time off each year to volunteer. We also support employees in helping to identify and plan volunteerism events throughout their communities across North America.
The Panasonic Foundation

The Panasonic Foundation

The Panasonic Foundation is an operating, non-profit foundation that invests in the incubation of new ideas and the development of public-private partnerships that directly support student achievement. From its creation in 1984, the Panasonic Foundation has been deeply rooted in advancing equity as the driver to improve the academic and social success of ALL students. The goal is to provide disadvantaged students with the skills and credentials they will need to lead fulfilling and successful lives in a global 21st-century economy.
