Promoting Sustainability Management

We will promote sustainability management that further embodies the corporate culture that has been handed down over the past 90 years, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Sawai Pharmaceutical, which has a 90-year history, upholds the corporate philosophy of “Always Putting Patients First.” Sawai Group Holdings, established through a share transfer of Sawai Pharmaceutical, also embraces the philosophy of “Always Putting Healthier Lives First,” with a commitment to improving patients’ health primarily through its generic drug business, and contributing to the healthy lives of families and society as a whole. These corporate philosophies reflect our desire to contribute to the health of many people as a healthcare corporate group that develops sustainably together with society through our daily activities.

With the establishment of Sawai Group Holdings in 2021, we renamed the CSR Committee to the Group Sustainability Committee and established the Group Sustainability Management Office to serve as the committee's secretariat, leading activities that previously spanned multiple organizations. Under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the Group Sustainability Committee consists of members selected from our company and each group company, and discusses and carries out various related activities, including the unique initiatives of each group company. Specialized teams like the Global Environment Team, Social Contribution Team, and Governance Team, which consist of members from across the company's organizations, also support these efforts.

Moving forward, we will continue to leverage the collective wisdom and strength of our Group to promote sustainability management that further embodies our corporate philosophy, striving to realize a sustainable society together with our stakeholders.
