The Chugai Group's mission is to contribute to creating new value through the provision of innovative medical products and services for the benefit of the medical community and human health around the world. We are committed to creating innovative pharmaceuticals by pursuing innovation and strategically allocating our resources. In particular, we are focusing on unmet medical needs, where there is still great potential to improve treatment for people by discovering new drugs.

Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of our R&D pipeline and current products is their focus on finding better treatments for challenging diseases such as cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic hepatitis C. We are working hard to develop innovative new drugs utilizing the latest bio- and antibody technologies and our library of small-molecular compounds. It is our conviction that antibody medications, which use antibodies to target specific cells and tissues, will contribute greatly to the establishment of new treatments, since they can be expected to improve therapeutic action while reducing side effects.

We aim to become a top Japanese pharmaceutical company by providing a continuous supply of innovative new medicines domestically and internationally. I believe that the mission and responsibility of a top pharmaceutical company is to contribute to society and maximize corporate value by meeting the expectations of its diverse stakeholders, including physicians and co-medical personnel as well as patients and their families. Only as we fulfill this mission, can we earn the trust of society.

We are determined to ensure that all of our corporate activities are carried out in accordance with the very strict ethical standards required of a life-science company. We not only create innovative medical products, but also make sure that medical professionals provide appropriate information on their proper use. In everything we do, we are committed to the advance of patient-centered treatment.

We have also pledged to make Group-wide efforts to help protect the global environment, including reducing CO2 emissions, as well as to social action designed to contribute to local communities.
