Message from CEO

Accelerating our initiatives
to sustainably increase our
corporate value

We would like to express our deep gratitude for your continued support.

Guided by our corporate philosophy to “contribute to the realization of a healthy and prosperous society,” we work every day to support healthcare in the community.In Japan, where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging rapidly, the business conditions surrounding our company are challenging.

Examples include the policy of limiting social security costs, characterized by successive drug price revisions.Given these conditions, in May 2023 we formulated Long-Term Vision 2035—to transform the future of medical care by transcending boundaries and acting as a bridge to cutting-edge medicines—and are working hard to speed up initiatives for sustainably increasing corporate value.

Specifically, we intend to raise our profit margin on net sales by continuing to improve the management of our existing businesses.We are also restructuring our business portfolio by allocating a portion of the cash generated from the disposal of cross shareholdings (for improving capital efficiency) to growth investments, such as new businesses.Also, our ESG-related initiatives tackle climate change, human capital management, and strengthening corporate governance.

By increasing our corporate value over the medium to long term, we will also improve shareholders’ returns through steady profit growth.

We look forward to your continued support and guidance.
