DEI
TOP MESSAGE
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is an essential and important piece of our mission vision.
The environment surrounding us is constantly changing, and our values are diversifying. The automotive industry, in particular, is undergoing a period of change that occurs once every 100 years and is undergoing major changes in its value-added structure. It is difficult for a company to survive unless it can adapt flexibly to change and innovate on its own with diverse ideas. In other words, diverse ideas are the source of corporate competitiveness.
At Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd., we aim to be the ""best team"" among a diverse group of people, each of whom demonstrates his or her individuality and ability to the fullest, and each of us can shine by making the most of it. To this end, we will improve and reform the company's systems and systems so that all employees can work energetically and with a sense of worth.

The Executive Management Meeting is a forum for senior management to exchange opinions on issues and
topics that should be shared by the entire organization. In October, the meeting was held under the

should we work on?) in the context of DEI.
The presentation was made public to employees, who were also impressed by the management's emphasis
on DEI and their efforts, and received many positive comments that expressed sympathy and
expectations for the acceleration of DEI.
