Measures to Create Corporate Value

Takeda promotes both corporate activities and corporate citizenship activities in an integrated fashion. In corporate activities, we earnestly conduct our core business of pharmaceuticals, while in corporate citizenship activities we act from the standpoint of a corporate citizen. Recognizing that integrating these two aspects is what constitutes CSR activities for Takeda, we have adopted "continued inclusion in SRI indices" as a key performance indicator for management from fiscal 2012, since it is an important external measure of our overall business activities. This has served to clarify our management strategy of emphasizing social responsibility.
