"Access to Remedy

The Panasonic Group has established a Global Hotline (supporting 32 languages) as a point of contact where our employees or external business partners and their employees can report any compliance violations they have become aware of, including those issues involving human rights or labour. This hotline uses an external, independent system that prevents the identity of the internal or external person reporting being revealed, and we have internal rules in place such that we are careful to protect the confidentiality of such reports and to make sure that the person reporting the violation does not suffer any acts of retaliation and detrimental treatment".

"In addition to our Global Hotline, we offer access to JaCER, a new industrywide grievance platform established by the CSR Committee of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). JaCER is a contact point for suppliers and their employees to report any adverse human rights impacts in the Group’s supply chain. By accepting grievances through a third-party contact, we aim to make grievance handling fairer and more transparent, promote dialogue and redress more than ever before, and work to resolve essential human rights issues. In all reporting systems, we ensure whistleblower anonymity and report confidentiality and publicize the contact information for reporting systems on our supplier web portal and our website, “For Suppliers.”
