64 Fundamental Stance regarding the Preservation of Biodiversity Kyoto Herbal Garden The Earth plays host to as many as 30 million species of living things. But this number is falling at an alarming rate. According to the U.N. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, which was completed in 2005, the current rate of extinctions is about 1,000 times greater than the extinction rate in ancient times based on fossil records. Moreover, many scientists believe a further increase of more than 10 times in the extinction rate is inevitable. The U.N. has declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity. In this year, the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) will take place in Nagoya, Japan. As a company engaged in businesses that protect life, Takeda has a long history of commitment to protecting biodiversity. We have contributed in many ways over the years, particularly through the Kyoto Herbal Garden, which grows many plants that are on the verge of extinction. As a phar

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (4502) Consolidated Financial Statements for Fiscal 2009 - 4 - [Qualitative Information and Financial Statements] 1. Results of Operations (1) Analysis of Operation Results 1) Introduction Whole of the pharmaceutical industry has tendency to face a number of challenges, such as stagnation in creating breakthrough novel drugs due to the difficulties of translating new innovations to products in the marketplace, and increasingly strict criteria for the approval of new drugs in advanced countries. Drastic changes in the healthcare systems are underway in many countries, by which it is anticipated that the pharmaceutical industry will be considerably affected. First of all, in the U.S., a bill of healthcare reform which aims to increase the ratio of the insured population was passed. Under the bill, pharmaceutical companies are requested to bear the burden of some portion of funds in order to finance the expansion of available health insurance by increase of the number of po
36 Preventing accidents and protecting the environment with a broad array of programs Accident Prevention Initiatives Accident Prevention Training at the Hikari Plant Takeda establishes the "Policies on Accident Prevention" in each fiscal year. Each business site establishes an action plan based on the policies for preventive measures that cover both facilities and employee skills. For facilities, we have a rigorous management program that includes a maintenance plan for aging equipment. To prevent fires and other accidents, we have safety measures concerning static electricity and flammable substances. Static electricity can create explosions and fires by igniting flammable gases and dust in facilities. This is why we are constantly working on eliminating the risks posed by static electricity in all production processes and machinery. Protecting production equipment from earthquakes is another priority. When a tremor above a certain magnitude occurs, sensors on key machinery transmit a signal that activates
10 U.S.operations The restructuring of In 1977, Takeda established a 50-50 partnership with Abbott Laboratories in the U.S. for research and development of new drugs. TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc. was established in 1985 as a joint venture with Abbott in conjunction with the launch of the prostate cancer treatment Lupron (generic name: leuprorelin acetate). Since then TAP has greatly contributed to the growth of Takeda's ethical pharmaceutical business in the U.S. market through the expanding sales of Lupron Depot (sustained release formulation of leuprorelin acetate) and the peptic ulcer treatment Prevacid (generic name: lansoprazole). In April 2008, Takeda implemented the division of TAP upon agreement with Abbott and TAP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takeda. In July 2008, TAP was merged into Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. (TPNA), and subsequently TAP's development function was integrated into Takeda Global Research & Development Center Inc. (TGRD). Through this restructuring, Takeda r

54 Our Basic Stance toward Global Warming Prevention Takeda releases GHG into the air during each stage of our business operations, including the procurement of raw materials, manufacture, distribution and disposal, and hence takes the need to strive to reduce GHG emissions as a member of global society for granted. Takeda organized the energy conservation committee in 1974, following the first major oil shock, and followed subsequently by the steady implementation of energy conservation activities, which have helped reduce GHG emissions for over three decades. Takeda believes that promoting a further approach toward global warming prevention globally, while also sharing such actual achievements and knowhow, will be our challenges in future. Takeda has developed the 9th energy conservation program for the period 2006 - 2010 and our activities toward efficient energy use have been progressing. The 9th energy conservation program sets a target to reduce CO2 emissions by 40 percent (a reduction of 30 percent wi

24 Review Of Operations And Financial Condition: Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Formerly Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and Subsidiaries Year ended March 31, 2004 (Fiscal 2003) As countries worldwide step up measures to hold down healthcare expenditures, while greater time and investments are required for development of new drugs, the ethical pharmaceuticals industry, which is Takeda's core business, is witnessing even more intense competition. In the United States, the world's largest pharmaceuticals market, double-digit growth in pharmaceuticals sales is unlikely to last much longer. One reason is that the expiration of patents on major drugs is often followed by rapid growth in sales of generic drugs. Also restraining growth are a variety of measures to limit the cost of drugs by the federal government, states, and insurance companies. Moreover, Medicare reforms, imports of less expensive drugs from Canada, and other events indicate that the United States is about to enter a period of fundament
