Growth & Sustainability
We are passionate about our role and responsibility to help protect our planet. We strive to look beyond medicines and consider the interconnections of climate, society, nature and health to deliver real impact to society.
Kyowa Kirin is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including a reduction in CO₂ emissions by 55% for 2030, compared to 2019.
Since 2020, our Japan-based HQ has shifted to renewable energy on all purchased electric power at our plants and labs. At KKI, we have done a baseline assessment of greenhouse gas emissions and are developing a number of decarbonisation projects.
We are implementing new ways of working that will enable us to create long-lasting and sustainable solutions for our patients. We are working to conserve the environment for future generations, by understanding and minimising the environmental impact of our business operations.
Materiality
The Kyowa Kirin Group has positioned materiality as a management challenge to realise our vision for 2030. Our materiality identified through the process described above is classified as 'Topics for Value Creation' and 'Topics for Value Enhancement', which corresponds to the strategic pillars to realise our vision for 2030, 'Provide pharmaceutical products for unmet medical needs', 'Address patient-centric healthcare needs', 'Retain the trust of society', and 'Management infrastructure to realise life-changing value'. The materiality of our group is related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are committed to making a greater contribution to the achievement of the SDGs by accelerating and expanding our business operations.
