2050 Environmental Vision of Net Zero
– Zero environmental impact of all our business activities –
Approach

Otsuka Pharmaceutical strive to advance as an essential company that contributes to the health of people and global environment. We will help to realize a society in which people and the earth can coexist in the future by continuing to work on the issues with creativity.
We will promote activities to improve employees' understanding and recognition of environmental issues through environment-related training, generate synergy among Otsuka group companies, and act from a unified standpoint.
