About Panasonic
Compliance
Management Trusted by Society
Panasonic is a public entity that engages in business while adhering to a common group management philosophy of "contributing to society through our business activities". As an integral part of this philosophy, we approach our business activities with the goal of achieving "management trusted by society", and all of our 300,000 group employees work to comply with laws and regulations and maintain a high standard of corporate ethics.
Achievements and Ongoing Challenges in Fiscal 2008
Yukio Nakamura
Director, Corporate Legal Affairs Division
Panasonic has declared October of each year to be "Compliance Awareness Month", during which group-wide compliance activities are performed. These activities, which were first implemented in Japan during fiscal 2007 and subsequently expanded worldwide in fiscal 2008, are announced annually through a poster campaign and in a message from the president that is broadcasted globally, as well as through "Compliance Comprehensive Tests" and "Compliance Awareness Surveys" conducted in each country and region. During fiscal 2008, over 84,000 employees within Japan and 8,500 employees outside of Japan participated in these tests and surveys. A Compliance Guidebook was also created for China and the Asian region to reinforce important compliance-related points that employees need to apply in their daily operations. Two other important areas that we focused on during fiscal 2008 were fair trade, with particular focus on compliance with anti-trust laws, and compliance with trade laws, with particular focus on security export control law and customs law compliance issues.
In fiscal 2009, we will continue to promote these compliance activities through a unified global framework.
Initiatives
As a company pursuing business activities worldwide, we take steps to ensure fair trade and total compliance with the laws and regulations of the countries and areas in which we are active.
