Global : An Initiative to Provide School Meals to Children in Developing Countries －Certified as a TFT Platinum Partner for the 13th Consecutive Year －
Panasonic Group has participated since 2009 in an initiative led by TABLE FOR TWO International (TFT), a non-profit organization, to provide warm school meals to children in developing countries. In recognition of its 2025 activities, the Group was certified as a TFT Platinum Partner for the 13th consecutive year and received a letter of appreciation from Akiko Doi, Secretary-General of TFT.

This initiative incorporates a mechanism whereby a portion of sales is donated when TFT-designated menu items are selected. In Japan, it is primarily implemented through company cafeterias and vending machines.
In Europe, Panasonic Marketing Europe launched a donation program in conjunction with World Food Day (October 16) in 2024, donating five meals for each cooking appliance sold through its online store. The program remains ongoing, with part of the donations fulfilled in 2025.
In addition, Panasonic Holdings, Panasonic Operational Excellence across seven countries, as well as domestic sites and affiliated companies of Panasonic Energy, conducted a walking rally in which donations were made based on participants' step counts. This initiative was designed to promote employee health while also contributing to social good. Through these efforts, participation in TFT, which began with company cafeterias, has expanded globally and is now contributing to ending poverty through multiple channels.
Since 2009, cumulative donations to TFT have totaled about 1.9 million meals (approx. JPY 43 million), reflecting the Group's sustained commitment.
