“There is much discussion today regarding
‘social responsibility,’ but while the meaning of
that concept can be wide-ranging depending on
social conditions at a particular time, the
fundamental social responsibility of a
corporation, in any era, should be to improve
society through its business activities. It is
extremely important to manage all business
activities based on this sense of mission.”
- Konosuke Matsushita
Founder of Panasonic Corporation
My Management Philosophy
(issued in June 1978)
In all things, we at Panasonic are guided by our Basic Management Objectives and Company
Creed. The objective recognises our responsibility that as industrialists we must devote
ourselves to the progress and development of society and the wellbeing of people
through our business activities, thereby enhancing the quality of life throughout the world.
Creed states that progress and development can be realised only through the Company
combined efforts and cooperation of each employee of our company.
United in spirit, we pledge to perform our corporate duties with dedication, diligence, and
integrity. We seek to imbibe this philosophy in our social and environmental pursuits.
Founder’s Message
2

Panasonic has always been strongly driven by the core
values of giving back to the society by fulfilling its
ethical responsibilities towards employees, customers
and other stakeholders. All our business objectives are
integrated with our brand philosophy of creating
sustainable and valuable ideas. This idea has also
been exemplified in our brand motto, “A Better Life, A
Better World”.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has always been
integral to Panasonic, and we look at our CSR
initiatives from a holistic perspective, ensuring
adoption of an inclusive and sustainable approach.
We are determined to actively contribute towards the overall development and well-being of the
society and strongly believe that, unless and until the fruits of development are shared equally
with all our stakeholders, the vision of inclusive and sustainable growth is hard to achieve.
We have always aspired to be a responsible corporate entity and we work diligently through our
robust initiatives towards adding value to the community by enhancing the life conditions and
becoming increasingly self-sufficient. Moreover, even before the enactment of the CSR Rules in
pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, Panasonic India had been proactive in
realizing its duties as a responsible corporate citizen and had a robust CSR plan ready in place
with objectively verifiable indicators and defined outcomes.
This Manual explains in detail the CSR roadmap and strategy for Panasonic India reiterating
company's commitment to sustainable and inclusive development. Recognizing that it takes
concerted and combined effort by the government and private sector, Panasonic India has
aligned its community initiatives to the activities specified in Schedule VII of the CSR Rules along
with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) constituted by the United Nations.
In future, we aim to expand our Corporate Responsibility footprint through our initiatives across
various levels, and evolve from being a philanthropic contributor for social development to an
organization which takes ownership of issues and acts as a catalyst in creating shared value. As a
responsible corporate entity, we would continue to contribute to the development of the
community through our CSR initiatives along with complying to the guidelines of the CSR rules
and work toward their proper implementation, benefitting the society at large.
Thank you.

PREAMBLE
Panasonic India's aim has been to create businesses and products that would
contribute to economic development along with preserving the natural
environment thereby ensuring our customers can achieve a better quality of
life. Our sustainability initiatives are designed to reduce potentially adverse
environmental impacts from our business through measures such as
mitigation of global warming, proper management of chemical substances,
reduction of waste and having a focused approach on the efficient use of
limited resources throughout our business operations. All of our Business
milestones are integrated into our brand and we constantly thrive to create
valuable ideas which is exemplified in our brand slogan, “A Better Life, A
Better World”
Corporate Social Responsibility is seen in India as a philanthropic activity. To
change the perception we have devised a 4 year strategy thereby giving it a
new direction. We see it as a tool for “Value Creation”. Our CSR Program
echoes our strategy of Localization. It is designed considering the needs of the
Indian community. Being a responsible corporate citizen we have aligned our
initiatives along with the Millennium Development Goals which are
constituted by the United Nations and address the most pressing problems
that the world is facing. Recognizing that it takes concerted and combined
effort by the government and private sector to achieve these goals, Panasonic
India has aligned its community initiatives with MDGs. Starting from 4 sectors
in FY 12-13, we now cover and address all eight MDGs. Panasonic India has a
long-term perspective on social engagement and has imbibed it in our
culture. The organization has made considerable progress to empower the
communities through various initiatives in the FY 2013-2014. Our
commitment is set to grow every year. This is not the end of the road but the
inception of a world where we strive to provide quality of life to the people.
To further make the entire process and activities more result oriented , it is
imperative to outline the guidelines on the Corporate Social Responsibility
into a policy pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the
“Act”) read with the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules,
2014 (the “CSR Rules”).

initiatives. Panasonic India has steadily moved to a well-structured and all-encompassing CSR
model. Further embarking this year's journey the company continues to reach to communities
through its various social initiatives programs.
Panasonic India has taken a planned and phased approach for social engagement programmes
starting FY 13 -14 till FY 15 - 16. Increasing the scale of its interventions every year, it is the
company's aim to contribute towards pertinent and pressing developmental issues. Our
commitment towards creating A Better Life, A Better World will be the guiding light in this

AAROGYA: Health
The young minds are the proponents of change that is needed in the society. Aligning with this
thought Panasonic launched its Ecoskool Programme with an aim to sensitize the students about
the Environmental issues, in addition using this medium we aspire to foster India's dream of
Universal primary education. The Objective of the programme are as follows:
To support in achieving objectives of universal primary education.
To encourage and engage young minds to ensure environment sustainability.
Till FY 12-13, Panasonic India had been operating its Ecoskool Program as a nationwide environment
sensitization program reaching out to 215 schools in 24 cities across India in an effort to enlighten
the participants (students of grade 6th to 12th and audience) to take collective steps towards
saving the environment and imparting knowledge on issues of global warming
and climate change.
Further in consideration of the recent CSR Act, the project was modified in
2013-14 giving it a more focused and result based approach. In Nov'13
Panasonic India collaborated with SARD and initiated school support program
in 15 Govt. Primary and Upper primary schools around Technopark Jhajjar. The
project aims to provide quality education and strengthen the Govt. Rural
Primary Education System in the Project schools through a three pronged
approach:
Infrastructure support
Capacity Building & BCC
Soft Skills
As India moves ahead with full force in this information age, a large section of
our population in rural and underserved areas still does not have access to
affordable and decent primary healthcare facilities. Considering the same and
building further on its philosophy of contributing to the community it operates
in, Panasonic India in collaboration with Jubilant Bhartia Foundation, recently
kicked started its pioneer project “Aarogya” aimed at providing people with
basic health care facilities.
The Objective of the programmeare as follows:
?To ensure health seeking behavior of the communities.
?To provide inputs and opportunities for accessible and affordable
health services.
?To provide referral services for primary and secondary level
treatment.
Project “Aarogya”is providing accessible and affordable health services to approx. 30,000
individuals annually in and around the area of the Panasonic Technopark in Jhajjar. The Mobile
Health van operates 6 days in a week covering 12 villages around Technopark area with
frequency of two-three camps in a day. Besides providing curative health care we also regularly
monitor the disease and seasonality trend in our project areas and accordingly, we organize
necessary counseling cum health awareness camps for the community, periodic school health
camps for our project school children and training sessions for ASHA workers etc.

SWABHIMAAN: Livelihood and Skill Enhancement
?
?
SHAKTI: Women Empowerment
In line with the Millennium Development Goals of Eradicating Extreme Hunger & Poverty,
Panasonic India has set up three Vocational Training Institutes at Jhajjar and Delhi/NCR region in
association with Labournet & NIIT Foundation. The objective of the programme are as follows:
To provide livelihood opportunities through skill enhancement and vocational training.
To add value by way of soft skills and preparedness for the job markets.
For the convenience of training, all our trades have been classified into two segments basis the
local industry requirement and demand in the areas where the centre operates:-
Career Courses
Career courses have been primarily designed to provide immediate employability solutions to the
youth by way of skill development and vocational training on trades which have high demand and
local requirement like fast food retail, showroom retail, BPO, Data entry, REEA (Repairing of
Electrical & Electronic items.) etc.
Life Skill Courses
This segment includes trades which are not immediately linked to employment generation but
instead enhance chances of employability of the youth in the coming
future through soft skill training like Computer literacy, Spoken
English, social networking, personality development and WPS. We
mostly enroll students between 16 to 23 years of age, who are in
college and are preparing themselves for a corporate job. During 6
months of FY 13-14, we trained a total of 526 youths in both the
segments and a total of 73% students enrolled in career courses were
provided with job offers. By March 2016, we aim to train another
2300 students in career and life skill courses and target to place at
least 70% of the students enrolled in career courses.
Working towards this important social as well as economic growth pillar,
Panasonic India took the responsibility of empowering women force by
supporting them to become self-reliant by way of education and vocational
training. Following the same, our three Panasonic vocational training
centers offer women specific courses like tailoring, beautician & hair care,
embroidery etc. We have tried to ensure that almost 50% of the youths
trained at our centers are females and our aim is to train and empower
close to 1400 women by March'16.
The objective of Project “Shakti”is to provide
women with sustainable livelihood opportunities
and simultaneously also address the issue of
gender equality by ensuring that women share
and shoulder equal responsibilities with men and
contribute in the decision making of the family.

SAHYOG: Contribution to Indian Society

RATTICHHATR: Scholarship Program
India is facing a number of developmental challenges and by SAHYOG we try to address some of
the pertinent and pressing developmental issues. The objective of the programme are as follows:
To contribute to Indian society thereby developing mutual trust and cordial relationship.
To promote sports and games to encourage and recognize talent.
To promote best sustainable practices in agriculture.
100 thousand Solar Lamp Project
Panasonic Corporation has launched the 100 Thousand Solar Lanterns
Project, aiming to contribute 100,000 solar LED lanterns to people
without access to electricity by 2018, the year of our 100th anniversary.
The company has already allocated 14,000 solar lanterns in India in the
last three years. To proliferate the effect of this initiative, Panasonic has
collaborated with seven leading NGO’s in the areas of Uttar Pradesh,
Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Haryana.
Some of the activities planned through this initiative involve allowing
medical care service at night to promote healthcare campaign for poor
and deprived families, and conduct eco-education classes in the
evening for children without alternate sources of light.
Haryana Football academy
To empower the youth of Haryana and spread the love for the sport in the country,
Panasonic India has set up a state-of-the-art Football Academy in Haryana, in association
with Haryana Football Association. The academy is conceived as a residential training
facility for three years, to begin with, from 3rd December 2012 to 30th November 2015.
The academy has 30 students in the age group of 17 to 21 years. The students are housed
at Nehru Stadium and are being trained to become professional players.
Agri Support
Panasonic India on the occasion of World Environment Day inaugurated its agricultural support
project at Jhajjar with the objective of benefiting farmers to produce more by helping them adopt a
sustainably intensified agricultural production process. Panasonic is aiming at setting up 15
demonstration sites by FY 15-16, each comprising of three focus areas i.e. Bio gas for cooking and
lighting, Vermi Compost for soil improvement and Naand to provide continuous drinking water
facilities to the cattle without human interface.
The Panasonic scholarship programme was established in 1998 to
commemorate the Company's 80th anniversary, as a way for the company to
express its appreciation to society. This programme was initiated in India in
2009 and since its start in India, 8 scholars have been selected and enrolled for
this Masters Program in Japan.
Owing to the immense potential of the Indian education sector and quality of education of the
engineering and business schools in India, starting FY 15, the Panasonic 'RattiChhatr Scholarship will
provide financial aid to the talented undergraduate students from across 15 IITs and encourage them
to pursue their higher education in the country itself. This shift in the program is consistent with
Panasonic's philosophy of adopting and encouraging localization, thereby contributing toward the
economic development in the country and giving back to the society. The '2015 Panasonic
Scholarship' will reach out to close to 120 students over a period of 4 years, wherein Panasonic will
select 30 new students every year- 2 from each of the 15 IITs. 17
