HR Vision

In 2015, Astellas formulated a new corporate vision. As set forth in our corporate vision, in order to turn innovative science into value for patients at the forefront of healthcare change, we believe that business strategies must be underpinned by human resources and organizational capabilities. That is why we have drawn up a new Human Resources (HR) Vision. Astellas has defined its aspirations for its human resources and organizational capabilities, along with the support structure needed for both of these elements, as a globally aligned, common approach.

Overview of the HR Vision

One Astellas with the Astellas Way

Under the HR Vision, we have enshrined our aspirations for human resources and organizations in the phrase “One Astellas with the Astellas Way.” Guided by the shared values laid out in the Astellas Way, we will bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds within the Company to surmount national, regional and organizational barriers, foster mutual respect, enhance our organizational capabilities, and unite our people to continuously achieve innovation.
