Takeda-ism is more than just a word. It’s a belief and a mindset which guides our decisions, behaviors, and interactions. It’s how we strive to work and live, every day.

OBJECTIVES/PURPOSE

• Takeda’s Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) envisions a world where all people have access to quality healthcare and can enjoy healthy lives – where no one is left behind.

With this in mind, our signature Global CSR Program, launched in 2016, adopts a long-term perspective and contributes to strengthening resilient and sustainable health systems that can deliver better health outcomes both routinely and in times of crisis.
• Global CSR activities are philanthropic, prioritizing tangible partnerships to maximize positive impact on the health and lives of marginalized people. We partner with non-profit organizations that have proven track records of addressing global health issues in equitable and sustainable ways. We encourage innovative and scalable health system solutions that empower marginalized groups in low- and middle-income countries.
• In addition to our employee-driven Global CSR Program, our leadership forges strategic public-private philanthropic partnerships with game-changing multilateral and academic institutions worldwide to support the transformation of health systems at scale and respond to timely issues.
• Employee engagement is an integral part of our Global CSR Program. Our Global CSR Pro-gram facilitates a range of employee engagement opportunities, including learning sessions, participation in shortlisting of proposals and annual decision-making process through em-ployee voting. Takeda’s values form the foundation of these Global CSR principles.
