Group CEO New Year Message to Employees: “UNLOCK” Your Potential and Take On New Challenges

Panasonic Group CEO Yuki Kusumi delivered his New Year’s message to employees on January 5, 2024. After a two-year period during which each business focused on strengthening its competitiveness, the Group is now shifting gears to enter a growth stage, accelerating its transformation as it continues to pursue the realization of an “ideal society with both material and spiritual affluence.” In this message, Kusumi conveys his thoughts about making 2024 a year of growth—for the organization and for each employee. He references founder Konosuke Matsushita’s warning about dilution of the Basic Business Philosophy (BBP), and explains why putting the philosophy into practice while avoiding outdated rules and preconceived notions is critical to the Group’s growth.
