First I would like to express my sincere sympathy to those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
At the present time, reconstruction efforts are gradually beginning to be made, and we believe that we must go forward looking at this as a starting point toward building a new Japan. In the wake of the recent disaster, there is a great need to realize a "disaster-resistant society," one which is better prepared than in the past. There is also an urgent need to address the shortage of electric power. Panasonic is determined to take a leading role in the reconstruction effort using the technology it has accumulated over the years, and offering solutions related to a "sense of security and safety as well as energy," solutions that only Panasonic can offer.

At the same time, if we look at what is happening around the world, we find that, while emerging countries are achieving spectacular development and many people are striving to attain a higher standard of living, we are also facing many serious social problems, such as the depletion of resources and energy, shortages of food and water, and loss of biodiversity. In this regard, we need to speed up our efforts toward achieving sustainable development throughout society.
Panasonic has always followed a management philosophy of contributing to society through its business activities, and has established a close relationship with people around the world by providing truly useful everyday products. In light of the problems we are facing today, we gave consideration to the role we should play, and decided to become the No.1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry, looking to 2018, the 100th anniversary of our founding. With this vision, we will focus on energy solutions for the entire home, building and town through energy creation, energy storage, energy saving, and energy management, and we will make proposals to people around the world for sustainable, secure, and comfortable green lifestyles. In this way, we want to bring about an environmental revolution with "lifestyles" as the starting point. In addition, we will make continued efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in all processes of our business activities and work to achieve recycling-oriented manufacturing to make the best use of resources.

In April of this year, Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd., and SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Panasonic Corporation. With this new organization, we will make the most of the unique abilities and talents of all of our employees worldwide to create more value in a wider area, and thus integrate our environmental contribution with our business growth. Going forward, we will continue to open our hearts and minds to the needs of the people in order to fulfill our role as a public entity of society.
