## CSR Activities Related to the Employees 

## Basic Policy 

Astellas employees play the most valuable role in shaping the Company and continuously creating new levels of corporate value, and they are one of our important stakeholders. At the same time, employees are subject to the direct influence of corporate management, and the Company fully recognizes the various social responsibilities that it must fulfill on their behalf. Astellas understands the need to provide a clear direction for employees’ career develop- ment, a workplace that corresponds to the direction, and a personnel system that enables them to fully demonstrate their capabilities. We also believe that respecting the human rights, personalities and individualities of all employees and providing them with rewarding and safe workplaces will lead us to utilize human resources from around the world, maintaining and strengthening our competitiveness.
