Panasonic Holdings is working to solve global environmental issues and social challenges to realize a sustainable society. The company aims to achieve "an ideal society where both things and hearts are enriched," and seeks to enhance corporate value by strengthening business competitiveness and delivering value to all stakeholders including shareholders, customers, and employees.

As a growth strategy toward fiscal year 2025, Panasonic Holdings has identified "solving global environmental issues" and "well-being of society and daily life" as priority areas. Through this approach, the company aims to provide value that exceeds competitors and contribute to solving social challenges.

In its medium-term management plan from fiscal year 2022, the company successfully achieved its cumulative operating cash flow target, but fell short on ROE and cumulative operating profit goals. In response, fiscal year 2025 will focus on group management reform to resolve structural issues and strengthen the management foundation.

Specific initiatives center on three pillars: "a lean headquarters and indirect divisions," "identifying low-profit businesses," and "focusing on solution areas." The company will advance fixed-cost structure reform and business portfolio management to improve profitability and strengthen competitiveness.

In the solution area, the company will deploy business units with global competitiveness and create synergies through customer-centric management. The device and smart life areas will also be strengthened as revenue foundations to improve adjusted operating profit margins.

By fiscal year 2028, the company targets ROE of 10% or higher and adjusted operating profit margins of 10% or higher, aiming for revenue improvements of 3 billion yen or more through structural reform. This will build a management structure capable of responding to changing business environments.
