Sustainability

Astellas is embedding Sustainability at our foundation

Alongside these CSP2026 goals, Astellas maintains our strong, organization-wide commitment to sustainability that supports long-term corporate value. Our approach to sustainability is to contribute to society through our core business first – and to create a positive cycle that improves the sustainability of both society and Astellas.

The nine material topics are organized under three pillars – Trust, Innovation, and People – and the Diagram illustrates how these inter-connected topics create a positive cycle for both society and Astellas. By addressing these material topics through our core business, Astellas aims to create and deliver VALUE for society while simultaneous advancing the realization of our VISION.
