Better Health,
Brighter Future
Our Commitment to the Planet
Why it Matters
Today, pressure on environmental health, as evidenced by degrading air quality, increasing scarcity of clean water and other natural resources, waning biodiversity and impacts of climate change, increasingly poses threats to human health. As a responsible corporate citizen, we have to do our part to continually reduce our environmental footprint and fulfill our purpose of Better health for people, brighter future for the world. Moreover, internal and external stakeholders expect us to set a high standard in this respect — to care for the environment and take actions that reduce our environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of our products.
Our obligation to environmental stewardship and sustainable business directly aligns with our values of Takeda-ism and Patient-Trust-Reputation-Business. In this way, environmental stewardship becomes one more way that we work to fulfill our vision.
Carbon-Reduction Goals
- By FY2020, we will be carbon neutral by offsetting our carbon emissions.
- By 2025, we commit to reducing 40% from FY2016 of GHG emissions in companywide operations and 15% from FY2018 of Scope 3 emissions.
- By 2040 we will be carbon zero in our operations without using offsets for our Scope 1 and 2 emis-sions and will be carbon neutral across our value chain by reducing Scope 3 emissions by 50%from FY2018 and offsetting remaining emissions.
- Help 67% of our suppliers, by emissions, establish their own science-based targets by 2024.
