Approach to corporate citizenship activities

We will cooperate with international organizations, NGOs, and others to carry out activities focused on the healthcare field.

As a company committed to improving people's lives, Takeda undertakes corporate citizenship activities intended to solve or alleviate social issues facing patients and people who have suffered from disasters.

Global Healthcare Issues

We are engaged in various programs that reflect the calls of international society, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and WHO appeals. These activities also play an important part in our Access to Medicines initiative. In 2016, we held a vote among all employees to promote activities in line with the key focus of "prevention for health in developing and emerging countries." Based on the results of this vote, we formulated the new Global CSR Programs.

Healthcare Issues in Each Business Area

Based on the concept of "putting the patient at the center," Takeda's business sites in countries all over the world are playing their part as members of the local community by donating to local organizations, supporting volunteer activities by employees, and engaging in corporate citizenship activities in line with local needs, such as initiatives to raise awareness of disease.

Support for Areas Affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Kumamoto Earthquake

Since immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake, Takeda has been conducting long-term activities to support the recovery of areas affected by the disaster. Examples include the contribution of pharmaceuticals and donations. We have made a commitment to continue support for 10 years through to 2020. We are also supporting areas affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake by a donation by employees with a matching gift from the company, along with OTC products and other support supplies.
