Approach to the Environment

Alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

Takeda has actively engaged in environmental stewardship initiatives for almost 50 years, since establishing an Environmental Protection Committee in 1970.

The Takeda Environmental Action Plan specifies environmental issues and targets for the medium- and long-term to combat global warming and promote responsible use of natural resources. We review targets annually and continuously promote activities to achieve them, such as the CO₂ roadmap created by our Energy Saving Working Group to increase sharing of environmental best practices among sites.

Goals and progress against them for our business, excluding the recent acquisition of Shire, are set out below. Our intent is to set new goals by the end of FY2019 that reflect the integration of Takeda and Shire and our ambition to lead a world-class environmental sustainability strategy.
