About Takeda

Takeda is a patient-focused, values-based, R&D-driven global biopharmaceutical company committed to bringing Better Health and a Brighter Future to people worldwide. Our passion and pursuit of potentially life-changing treatments for patients are deeply rooted in our distinguished history in Japan since 1781.

Opened in July 2018, Takeda's Global Headquarters in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, serves as the head office for its operations worldwide. The building’s interior was designed by Kashiwa Sato, one of the world’s leading creative directors, and expresses the essence of Takeda’s values and its core commitment to always put patients first.

As a global biopharmaceutical leader, it's important to have a strong corporate philosophy. Since our founding in 1781, we have cultivated our corporate philosophy’s core components, which today we refer to as our purpose, values, vision and imperatives. These components are explained in detail here.

Corporate governance is a crucial attribute of a company focused on making an impact on society.  As a global biopharmaceutical company, we have strong business operation systems with robust internal control, compliance and risk management, enabling prompt decision making.
