Sustainability at Santen

Based on Santen's Core Principle: "Tenki ni sanyo suru," Santen not only contributes to the sustainable development of society but also aims to improve corporate value over the medium to long term.

Santen established a Sustainability Committee, chaired by the CEO and composed of executive officers from related divisions. The committee meets at least twice a year, deliberating and determining Group-wide policies and targets for sustainability promotion activities. These targets are based on the Core Principle, sustainability policy, Group strategies, and social issues that include human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.

The Sustainability Committee is also responsible for specific sustainability initiatives and deliberations on important related matters.

We communicate decisions and other information through the executive management of each department. Matters related to Group management strategies are proposed to the Executive Committee for approval, and important matters are referred to the Board of Directors.

The Global Head of Sustainability (executive officer) oversees company-wide sustainability activities.

Santen identifies and engages with materialities.
