Basic Management Objectives
Recognising our responsibilities as industrialists, we will devote ourselves to the progress and development of society and the well-being of people through our business activities, thereby enhancing the quality of life throughout the world.

Our Beliefs
At Panasonic, we are committed to maintaining the same philosophy wherever we operate. In particular for Panasonic overseas operations, this philosophy is characterised by the following tenets:

Contribution to Society
Here in Singapore, besides involvement in community activities and sponsorships, Panasonic actively seeks to create employment opportunities and to enrich the quality of the workforce through skill upgrading and training for a better Quality of Life. To achieve this, Panasonic has invested in its Panasonic Regional Training Center, a fully equipped modern training academy for its staff.

Promotion of Technology Transfer
It is through a synergistic environment that Panasonic employees pursue and breakthrough to greater heights of technological progress. Panasonic recognises the wisdom of shared expertise and resources in order to promote product and machine technology advancement, productivity and quality excellence. With local participation in Panasonic\'s state-of-the-art R&D activities, mutual technological progress is ensured. The combination of technological expertise and Panasonic\'s concept of manufacturing excellence has led to Panasonic products achieving the highest quality.

Spreading Panasonic Management Philosophy within the context of local government policy
This philosophy forms the integral part of Panasonic\'s overseas policy; the concept of being a responsible and society conscious industrialist is imparted to all staff. In Singapore, Panasonic realises its commitment to improving the international competitiveness of its operations with the support of incentives offered by the government.
