Progress in medical technology and the pharmaceuticals that mankind has created have saved the lives of many people and contributed to making people healthier.
However, there are many diseases for which treatments are still insufficient or for which no treatments have been developed. What is needed are ways of treating and preventing these diseases as well as offering treatments that are suited to the special characteristics of individual patients. Society expects pharmaceutical companies, which play a major role in medical treatment, to address and find solutions for these needs. It is our mission to respond to these expectations of society.
The corporate mission of DAIICHI SANKYO is “To contribute to the enrichment of quality of life around the world through the creation and provision of first in-class and best-in-class drugs.”
To fulfill this mission, which expresses clearly the reason for our existence, we of DAIICHI SANKYO must have a strong sense of what our mission is and spare no effort in responding to the expectations of society.
●Our Eight Commitments
To realize our corporate vision, as we keep our mission in mind, we have identified three directives for action and eight commitments that each member of the DAIICHI SANKYO Group should use as the basis for making proper value judgments.
The three directives for action are “aspiration for innovation,” “good faith,” and “enthusiasm.” “aspiration for innovation” is the wellspring of our being.
Also, “good faith” is a duty we must fulf ill, and “enthusiasm” is a quality our actions should have.
Based on these three directives for action, we have formulated eight commitments. When making judgments, each member of the DAIICHI SANKYO Group should go back to these three directives for action and eight commitments before embarking on a course of action.
