At Panasonic, our aim is to create technologies that will create a better life and a better world. At the center of this promise is the understanding of the diverse world in which we live. To deliver on this promise, we need to foster diversity - in thought, approach and life experience.

We believe fulfilling this promise begins in the classroom. For more than 35 years, the Panasonic Foundation has made it its mission to bring educational opportunities to underserved communities across the nation. It is impossible to achieve equality without first focusing on equity by bringing resources to students who have all too often had to make do with less.  

With an eye to the future, it is our goal to foster a culture where diversity is a central value. We know this is integral to creating a better world for all. But it’s not simply that we believe it’s the best way to create a better future, it is also the right thing to do here in our present. 

In our video series on leadership and equity, we spoke with pioneers from across the country who are working on making this shared goal a reality. Join us as we look back on the founding values that drove us to begin our work in this space - and the vision we all share to create a more equal future through equity.
