Participation in Tokushima Cooperative Forestry Project

Approach
The Otsuka group supports and respects international human rights norms, such as the United Nations International Bill of Human Rights, which define the fundamental human rights of all people, the standards established by the International Labor Organization (ILO) in the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the group also supports and respects its Ten Principles. Based on these, in December 2020, it established the Otsuka Group Human Rights Policy, which has been in effect since March 2021.

Since fiscal 2010, the Tokushima Plant has signed annual partnership agreements for the Cooperative Forestry Project with Tokushima Prefecture and the Tokushima Forestry Promotion
Organization. Through these agreements, Taiho Pharmaceutical sponsors forest promotion projects within the prefecture. The activities, such as forest maintenance and conservation through thinning, etc., have increased CO2 absorption by these forests, which in turn helps to address global warming.
Taiho Pharmaceutical will continue to support the Cooperative Forestry Project, not just through donations, but also through thinning and tree planting carried out by employees and their families.
