Mobility Concept
Since fiscal year 2016, Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH has introduced a mobility concept for employees to select safe and secure modes of commuting with low environmental burdens. By encouraging employees to choose their own modes of transportation, such as a combination of bicycle, public transportation, and environment-friendly vehicles, we contribute to the realization of more sustainable and energy-efficient mobility. To encourage drivers to switch to electric vehicles, the company has installed around 60 charging stations in its underground parking space. In addition, it has introduced a car-sharing system to optimize fleet management.

Forest Conservation
Daiichi Sankyo Brazil（DSBR) is working on an initiative to reforest the Atlantic Coast by donating native saplings to the Forest of the Future project of the SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation, a non-profit environmental organization. DSBR calculates the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from its factory, offices, and sales activities, and plants saplings to offset these emissions; the number of saplings to be planted is determined ton of CO2 emissions into six saplings. This annual effort contributes to reforestation.
