PANASONIC INDUSTRIAL EUROPE

Panasonic Corporation, founded in Osaka 1918, is one of the worlds largest manufacturers of
quality electronic and electrical equipment. Its subsidiary, Panasonic Industrial Europe GmbH
(PIE) deals with a wide diversified range of industrial products for all European countries.
This company was formed in 1998 to strengthen Panasonics Pan-European industry operation,
and today is active in such different business fields as Automotive, Audio/Video & Communication,
Appliance and Industry & Devices to satisfy its customers needs.

eco ideas Strategy
Panasonic leads the way with eco ideas

Pursuing coexistence with the global environment in its business vision, Panasonic places
reduction of the environmental impact in all its business activities as one of the important
themes in its mid-term management plan. In its eco ideas Strategy, which focuses in particular
on rapid implementation of measures to prevent global warming and global promotion of environmental sustainability management, Panasonic is advancing three key initiatives: eco ideas
for Manufacturing, eco ideas for Products, and eco ideas for Everybody, Everywhere.
