Our Code of Conduct

The Panasonic Group Code of Ethics & Compliance (CEC) defines how we act – as individuals and as a company. It is our shared commitment to doing business with integrity, fairness, and responsibility. The CEC outlines both corporate and personal obligations, ensuring that every employee contributes to a culture of trust and accountability. It covers essential topics such as human rights, environmental protection, fair competition, and data security. By following the CEC, we ensure that our actions align with global standards and societal expectations. The full Code is maintained by Panasonic Holdings and applies to all group companies worldwide.

Whistleblowing
