Our stakeholders include patients, healthcare professionals, shareholders, investors, employees, suppliers, academia, research institutes, local communities, relevant governmental agencies, industrial associations, NGOs, and NPOs. We have to ensure legal compliance, corporate governance, and transparency. We believe that we also have to build and continue strengthening relationships with all stakeholders through engaging in business activities that respect their interests and holding dialogue with them to achieve sustained growth.
Our basic attitude is promoting communication/constructive dialogue with all stakeholders and disclosing necessary information to them accurately, fairly, impartially, and promptly.
We strive to disclose information and communicate so that stakeholders understand our policies and activities and we can earn their trust. In addition, we identify stakeholders' requests and expectations and then engage with the issues. In that way, we continue taking on the various challenges as a research and development pharmaceutical company.
