Our philosophy

Since its establishment in 2005, under the management philosophy of “Contributing to the health of people around the world through innovative and reliable pharmaceutical products,” Astellas has consistently been committed to creating innovation and delivering innovative medical solutions that meet the needs of patients. Our VISION is ‘to be on the forefront of healthcare change to turn innovative science into VALUE for patients’, and we will continue working to realize this VISION.

Advances in science are accelerating. Advances in cell therapy and gene therapy are making it possible to treat diseases that were considered untreatable a few years ago. Advances in big data analyses and other engineering technologies will enable us to deliver unprecedented therapies to patients more efficiently than ever before.

In order for us to continuously create innovation, we need to increase our sensitivity to such changes in the environment, further refine our capabilities to ensure we are at a level that we can be proud of in the current state of the world, accept diverse values, and incorporate and combine the “sprouts” of innovation that exist both within and outside the company. By continuing these efforts without fail, I believe we will be able to create innovative medical solutions that satisfy the many remaining unmet medical needs and bring smiles and hope to patients and their families around the world.

A sound corporate climate and culture provide the foundation for our business activities while ensuring we fulfill our social responsibilities. The values we focus on at Astellas and group companies are concentrated into five messages: “Patient Focus,” “Ownership,” “Results,” “Openness,” and “Integrity,” referred to as the Astellas Way. By sharing a set of values in the Astellas Way with Astellas employees around the world and maximizing our capabilities, we will build an organization and corporate climate that continue to create new VALUE.

Astellas will continue to meet the expectations of stakeholders and society by being on the forefront of healthcare change and turning innovative science into VALUE for patients.
