Panasonic Group certified as a TABLE FOR TWO Platinum Partner for the 12th consecutive year

Achievement highlights continued efforts at employee cafeterias in Japan and initiatives by Panasonic Marketing Europe

Osaka, Japan – April 17, 2025 – The Panasonic Group has been supporting the non-profit organization TABLE FOR TWO (TFT) in its efforts to deliver school meals to children in developing countries since 2009. The Group has been recognized by TFT as a Platinum Partner for the 12th consecutive year. 

In 2024, the Group donated the equivalent of approximately 171,000 meals, including donations made through the newly launched program of Panasonic Marketing Europe GmbH. The total amount of donations made by the Group to date is equivalent to approximately 1.67 million meals.

The Panasonic Group has set “ending poverty” as one of the key themes for its corporate citizenship activities. In Japan, as an initiative that allows employees to participate in solving social issues through something familiar—food—the Group offers TFT menu items in employee cafeterias at 14 locations, donating 20 yen per TFT meal on a continuous basis. At sites without cafeterias, the “CUP FOR TWO (CFT)” program has been implemented, in which a portion of the proceeds from vending machines is donated, and in 2024, this led to approximately 71,000 meals being donated.

In Europe, Panasonic Marketing Europe has redefined the objective of its European kitchen appliance business as “delivering healthy food to as many customers as possible and creating a hunger-free, caring world,” and has launched two new initiatives. First, to commemorate World Food Day on October 16, 2024, the company donated 100,000 meals to TFT Germany. In addition, it announced that it would donate five school meals to TFT for every kitchen appliance purchased through the Panasonic online shop in Europe between October 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025. 

This campaign has resulted in a donation amount equivalent to over 60,000 meals, which the Group will donate in stages.

Through the TFT initiative, the Panasonic Group will continue to provide nutritious school meals and contribute to improving children’s basic physical strength, preventing illness, and creating educational opportunities, thereby helping to alleviate poverty and bring happiness to people living in developing countries.

The Panasonic Group will continue to contribute to solving social issues in various ways in order to work toward realizing “an ideal society with affluence both in matter and mind.”
