Global CSR Program

Transforming health outcomes by investing in resilient health systems worldwide

Takeda’s Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program is a signature initiative of our philanthropic giving, which supports solutions that strengthen the resiliency of health systems in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). This program is unique in that we empower our 50,000 employees around the globe to participate in the selection of new partners each year through a worldwide vote. The vote ensures that our community of long-term partnerships reflects the priorities and preferences of all our colleagues.

Our giving is focused on addressing the impacts of climate change on health through three key pillars: reliable health infrastructure, climate-smart workforce education, and technology innovation and solutions to enhance diagnosis and treatment for climate-vulnerable populations. See below for information about our partners.
