About Panasonic
Human Resource Development
Encouraging all employees to become environmental innovators
Panasonic has been providing employees with “general programs”on environmental knowledge and Panasonic’s environmental policies and activities, and also with “specialized programs”for more advanced educational skills, in order to develop human resources who will serve as facilitators of Panasonic’s environmental sustainability management.
In fiscal 2011, we expanded the target of the general programs to include all Panasonic Group companies in addition to those in Japan, and about 125,000 employees* received training on Panasonic’s environmental measures, as well as on the resource and energy issues that cause environmental problems, population problems, and various other topics, through the intranet and other means. For our specialized programs, we held seminars on environmental laws and regulations, management of chemical substances and waste, and also on “energy conservation diagnosis skills technologies.”In fiscal 2011, we held 16 seminars for employees in Japan, China, Singapore, and other Asian countries, and a total of 598 employees participated, including those belonging to divisions other than environment-related divisions.
For the annual global competition in which the Panasonic Group Manufacturing Skills Competition, we added “eco mind skills”(overall environmental knowledge and expertise) and “energy conservation diagnosis skills”(ability to make improvement proposals for energy conservation at offices and factories) to the competition sections in fiscal 2011. By awarding those with excellent environmental expertise, we aim to foster the development of human resources for a corporate-wide enhancement of environmental knowledge. In addition to these group-wide measures, individual business domain companies and sales departments within the Group also provide unique and practical training according to their specific business areas.
In the future, we will further expand and enhance environmental education in the human resource development programs for both new and newly promoted employees, while also providing special training that incorporates local themes and social trends targeting all Group employees across the globe. Through these measures, we aim to turn each and every employee into an environmental innovator.
