Daiichi Sankyo Group is proactively involved in dealing with environmental issues, which are common challenges for the global community, through its social contribution activities as well as its business operations.

Tree Planting

Since 2006, Daiichi Sankyo (China) Holdings Co., Ltd. has been planting trees for environmental protection with the participation of its employees.

Mangrove Plantation

Daiichi Sankyo (Thailand) Ltd. participated in mangrove planting activities in the Khlong Khon area, where most marine life has disappeared due to extensive shrimp farming. The once bountiful sea is being restored thanks to the residents working together to plant mangrove trees. Through this activity, participating employees came in contact with nature and developed a greater appreciation for our precious planet.

Cleanup Activities around Operating Sites

The Daiichi Sankyo Group is engaged in a range of local environmental preservation activities at its operating sites in Japan.
We cleaned up and picked up trash around our R&D centers and plants in Shinagawa, Tatebayashi, Hiratsuka, Kitamoto, and Odawara.

Mobility Concept

Since fiscal year 2016, Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH has introduced a mobility concept for employees to select safe and secure modes of commuting with low environmental burdens. By encouraging employees to select their own mode of transportation, such as a combination of bicycle, public transportation, and environment-friendly vehicles, human mobility will become eco-friendly as well as efficient. To focus more on electric and hybrid vehicles, the company has installed 25 charging stations in its underground parking space.
In addition, it has introduced a new car sharing system to ensure efficient vehicle operation.

Forest Conservation

Daiichi Sankyo Brazil（DSBR) is working to reforest the Atlantic Coast by donating native saplings to the "Forest of the Future" project of the SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation, a non-profit environmental organization. Each fiscal year, DSBR calculate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from its factory, offices, and sales activities, and plant saplings equivalent to the amount of the emissions (calculated at 6 saplings per ton of CO₂ emissions) to help reforestation. On October 10, 2022, a kick-off event was held at the headquarters of SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation, where employees planted trees to mark the start of this initiative.

Okusuri Sheet Recycle Program

Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare is carrying out the Okusuri Sheet Recycle Program in conjunction with TerraCycle Japan and with the cooperation of the City of Yokohama. This program collects “Okusuri Sheets,” the blister packs (PTP sheets) used to package medications, and recycles them as materials. The company launched this Okusuri Sheet Recycle Program in October 2022 as the Japan’s first program that relies on the participation of consumers.
