Eisai conducts its business with a clear understanding that patients and the people in the daily living domain are the key players in healthcare.

Eisai’s corporate concept is to give first thought to patients and the people in the daily living domain, and increase the benefits that health care provides to them as well as meet diverse healthcare needs worldwide. Eisai calls this the “human health care (hhc)” concept. Eisai believes that in order to realize the hhcconcept, it is important for each Eisai employee to first get close to patients and the people in the daily living domain, and see the situation from their perspective in order to learn to empathize with thoughts and feelings that might not necessarily always be expressed in words. Accordingly, the Eisai Group recommends that all of its employees spend 1% of their working hours with patients and the people in the daily living domain.

Our corporate concept is understood and internalized by each employee within the Group, both in Japan and overseas. This understanding is then shared and implemented in the daily business activities of all Eisai employees, and serves to effectively transcend nationalities, national borders, gender and age.

We fulfill our obligation to society by considering the perspectives of patients, and the people in the daily living domain, as well as the global community overall, developing a response to their needs, verifying the social benefits of this response, and finally by making this response available to the world before anyone else.

This is the hhc that Eisai aims to realize.
