We are committed to aiding in the resolution of environmental issues such as biodiversity and climate change recognizing that our business activities depend on and affect nature. To realize a sustainable and prosperous society, it is important to promote activities that consider biodiversity at all stages of research, development, procurement, production, distribution, sales, use, and disposal of new medicines. We agree with the declaration and policy described in the document, "Declaration of Biodiversity by Keidanren and Action Policy".
In addition, each of our business sites are taking part in various activities to contribute to local communities such as neighborhood cleanups and conservation of the natural environment.
At Fujiyama Plant, our employees periodically clean the area surrounding the plant premises and have been providing trash bags for “Operation Trash Clean-sweep,” a cleanup activity of the municipal neighborhood associations of Fujinomiya City and the “Fujinomiya City Cleaning Campaign” as activities that are friendly for the community environment. In order to biodiversity conservation, we are also maintaining green space (36 thousand m2) on the site of Fujiyama Plant and conduct surveys of wild birds that fly there four times a year.
