Due Diligence*

Initiatives Relating to the Impacts of Business Activities

As a pharmaceutical company committed to improving people's lives, Takeda is anxious to identify any impacts from its business activities on society and the environment, including potential impacts, and to take appropriate measures to counter them.
With regard to human rights, pages 60 to 61 of this report give an overview of various aspects throughout the entire value chain, including issues and initiatives. With respect to the environment, we follow the Basic Principle on the Environment, Assessment of Environmental Impact from Products and Manufacturing Processes: "When developing new products and processes, evaluate the impact on the environment in advance, during development, and periodically after commercialization. Consider the entire business cycle from the procurement of raw materials and supplies to the use and the final disposal of products to reduce the impact on the global environment."

• *In the context of social responsibility, due diligence is the process of identifying and avoiding or reducing the negative impacts of an organization's decisions and activities.
