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.

CAREER STRETCH SEMINAR
We conduct training for female employees to improve their practical management skills with a view to their success as managers. It is an opportunity to learn about leadership and business literacy through classroom study and exchanges between senior employees and trainees, and to rethink the future of one's career and the way one lives and works.
