Takeda commits more than $30 million to five new global CSR partnerships to boost health impact in 92 countries
Takeda today announces five new partnerships for its Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, which contribute to strengthening health systems in low- and middle-income countries. These new partnerships bring the total contribution to 24.2 billion JPY (approximately 167.5 million USD) through 29 long-term partnerships. Takeda’s workforce is an integral part of the annual decision-making process as more than 24,500 employees participated in the selection of the five new partnerships.

“ Our 242-year history has taught us that creating lasting positive impact not only takes time, but also requires us to constantly adapt and look to the future. There are no quick fixes to global health problems, which are complex, multidimensional and context-dependent. While each of these partnerships will support health systems strengthening in unique and innovative ways, there are two commonalities: an equity perspective focused on marginalized groups and a systems approach prioritizing sustainable outcomes over gains. quickly,” says Takako Ohyabu, Global Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Takeda. “These partnerships explicitly target marginalized and/or vulnerable groups who lack quality health services and access to essential medicines, whether due to conflict, climate change, natural disasters or socio-economic reasons. We take a long-term view, collaborating with partners with local knowledge and ownership, taking a systems approach to develop resilient and equitable health systems that also address climate change
