Product Compliance
|
|
The Panasonic Group is well aware of the various restrictions imposed by European, national and international legislation. The main concern in Europe is currently compliance with the directives and regulations listed below. The list does not claim to be comprehensive. In addition to the legislative requirements, the Panasonic Group has set its own, more stringent targets for products and procurement. Within our green procurement activity, we require our suppliers to comply with the “Panasonic Chemical Substance Management Rank Guideline for Products”, which sets voluntary limits on the use of certain chemical substances.

Corporate ethics
|
|
Panasonic Electric Works has been strongly committed to ethical conduct as spelled out in the philosophy of our founder, Konosuke Matsushita, making human rights and safety an integral part of Panasonic’s tradition. To make this business ethics tradition clear to everyone, both inside and outside the PEW group, we publish our compliance program activities on a regular basis. This is done to clarify the structure of our ethical environment in order to enable its preservation and dissemination on a company-wide basis.

Industrial associations
|
|
Active participation in relevant industrial associations and local authorities is an essential part of our compliance policy. In the respective committees, relevant legal information is shared and exchanged but also industrial intentions and opinions are furnished to legislative bodies.
