About Panasonic Energy
Panasonic Energy is a core player in the global transition to electrification, particularly through lithium-ion battery production for electric vehicles and energy storage.
This is not just sustainability on paper.
This is sustainability embedded in industrial-scale production.
The Opportunity
This role operates at the intersection of:
Manufacturing
ESG compliance
Energy transition
You are not observing sustainability trends.
You are implementing them inside one of the most critical industries of the decade.
What You’ll Do
ESG Program Leadership
Lead sustainability initiatives across operations and global stakeholders
Drive implementation of ESG programs across sites and functions
Environmental & Compliance Systems
Manage frameworks such as:
ISO 14001 (environmental management)
ISO 45001 (health and safety)
Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) standards
Decarbonization & Energy Strategy
Support greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction initiatives
Advance renewable energy adoption within operations
Supply Chain & Responsible Sourcing
Work with suppliers and partners to ensure ESG compliance
Support audit readiness and continuous improvement across the value chain
Cross-Functional Execution
Collaborate with:
Engineering
Operations
Procurement
Global headquarters (including Japan)
This is a matrix environment where influence matters more than authority
What They’re Looking For
A sustainability operator who understands industry, not just theory.
Core signals:
Experience in ESG, sustainability, or environmental management
Strong project management capability
Familiarity with manufacturing or industrial environments
Ability to work across global teams and stakeholders
What Makes This Role Interesting
Battery manufacturing is ground zero for the energy transition.
You are dealing with:
High energy consumption
Complex supply chains
Regulatory pressure
Customer scrutiny
And yet, demand is exploding.
This role asks a hard question:
Can we scale clean energy without scaling environmental impact?
Why This Role Matters
Electric vehicles do not solve climate change by default.
Their supply chains decide that.
This role influences:
How batteries are produced
How emissions are reduced
How sustainability is verified
Which means it sits directly inside the future of energy.
