Otsuka - people creating new products for better health worldwide

This phrase embodies the following three principles:

• Creating innovative products through our own ingenuity
• Supporting human health and well-being
• Contributing to people around the world

When Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. initiated original drug development efforts in 1971, the above phrase was adopted as the guiding philosophy for research and development. The phrase was later adopted as our corporate philosophy, governing all activities undertaken by our company in pursuit of our goals.

Based on our corporate philosophy of 'Otsuka – people creating new products for better health worldwide' and inheriting the Otsuka ethic of creativity and actualization, at Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. we focus our day-to-day efforts on putting into practice our maxim of 'because we're Otsuka, we can' and 'only Otsuka can do it.' At present, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Group companies support the lifestyles of people around the world with innovative and creative pharmaceuticals and consumer products.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Group companies and their employees cultivate an ethical perspective and vitality befitting an enterprise so closely involved with human life. Working for a symbiotic relationship with local communities and the natural environment from a global perspective, our goal is to contribute to a healthy, prosperous life for people the world over.
