Policy

Guided by our corporate philosophy of “contributing to the health of humankind through the development of revolutionary biotechnologies such as gene therapy,” and from the perspective of increasing our medium- to long-term corporate value, Takara Bio Group is working to solve various social challenges concerning sustainability, in the area of wellness as well as other areas, through our business activities. We aim to strike a balance between becoming a sustainable company and achieving sustained growth of Takara Bio Group. As part of this effort, we identified materialities (important issues) and are collaborating with stakeholders and partnering with Takara Holdings Group to carry out sustainability management to help solve social issues.

We identified eight materialities that are most relevant to the Group’s business, with additional consideration to stakeholder expectations, that we will look to as we carry out our sustainability activities. As we tackle social issues with our central focus on these eight materialities, we aim to strike a balance between becoming a sustainable company and achieving sustained growth of Takara Bio Group.

The Group established a Takara Bio Group Sustainability Promotion Committee chaired by the President of Takara Bio to implement sustainability activities, and is carrying out initiatives related to each materiality.
