Panasonic teams up with 7X Paralympic Champion Hannah Cockroft for Paris 2024 Paralympic Games
11/09/2023
Celebrating
the countdown to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, Worldwide Olympic and
Paralympic Partner Panasonic joins forces with the Team England wheelchair
racing 7-time Paralympic Champion and 12-time World Champion, Hannah Cockroft
to promote environmental sustainability on a global scale.
Since its
founding, Panasonic has been committed to making positive contributions to the
world and society. It has set ambitious targets to create a positive impact on
environmental sustainability under its Panasonic GREEN IMPACT initiative.
Hannah will join Team Panasonic as an ambassador focused on sustainability and
inclusivity while receiving support from the company on her journey to her
fourth Paralympic Games.
After picking up wheelchair racing at a talent day at Loughborough
University in October 2007, Hannah has blazed a trail straight to legend
status. As one of the most successful para-athletes in recent times, Hannah is
looking forward to continuing to inspire people all over the world to embrace
the Paralympic movement and celebrate inclusion.
Besides her tremendous athletic achievements, Hannah was one of 50+
Tokyo Olympians and Paralympians from 35 different countries, who took part in
the Athletes of the World campaign which challenged World Leaders about the
urgent need for ambitious climate action.
She is additionally using her platform to make a difference in issues
beyond the sports arena, such as working with federations to reduce the use of
single-use plastics. Panasonic is looking forward to working together with her
on similar projects and initiatives that epitomise Panasonic’s core values of
Contribution to Society, Cooperation & Team Spirit, and Untiring Effort
& Improvement.
Hannah Cockroft comments, “It is a privilege to have Panasonic supporting
me as I head into the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. The backing and promotion to
a wider audience will help me retain my top performing athlete position and enable
me in turn to champion the need for climate change action, and increased
inclusivity on a wider scale.”
Panasonic Champions the Champions
Panasonic has supported the Olympic and Paralympic Movements and their
Athletes for nearly four decades. Several world-class athletes have been part
of its Team Panasonic extended family. These athletes are committed to breaking
barriers, improving communities, and bringing awareness to important issues
such as sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity, and Hannah is no exception.
Junichi Suzuki, Chairman and
CEO of Panasonic Europe B.V. comments, “Hannah’s focus on societal change,
including being a patron and ambassador for several charities that enable her
to encourage others to get active, alongside her participation in
the sustainability initiatives, embodies the spirit of Team Panasonic.
We are proud to welcome her to
the Team Panasonic family and have her be part of our team to
shine a light on global climate change initiatives and innovations that tackle
the world’s most pressing environmental problems.”
