Takeda Compliance Program for Globalization

All executives and employees would comply with domestic and foreign laws and business ethics, we started the "Takeda Compliance Program for Globalization" in April of 1999, and revised the program in June of 2002 and in November 2008. In accordance with this Program, we established the "Takeda Code of Compliance Standards" as standards of conduct to which executives and employees must adhere, and we have made progress in promoting company-wide compliance by designating a "Compliance Officer" and establishing a "Compliance Promotion Committee" and a "Compliance Secretariat".

In each division, the Compliance Enforcer, led by the head of the unit, together with the Compliance Sub-Enforcer and the Area Compliance Enforcer, prepares the "Annual Compliance Education Plan" and ensures their staff receives the required training and instruction in order to practice compliance. The results of compliance initiatives each fiscal year are reported to the Compliance Officer in writing, in the form of a "Compliance Assessment Report" and subsequently reviewed by the Compliance Promotion Committee to ensure feedback is reflected in company-wide planning for the following fiscal year.

As all executives and employees practice this Program, we will continue to promote compliance with the law and business ethics. Compliance will ensure Takeda's place as a global corporation and solidify its role as a good corporate citizen that fulfills its responsibilities to the public.

The Compliance Secretariat enhances the Compliance Program for Globalization in the domestic and overseas affiliate companies in a direct manner or through collaborative efforts with each division, in charge of relevant affiliate companies. In addition, the Takeda Compliance Officer holds periodic meetings to exchange information with personnel in charge of compliance in the affiliate companies.
