## Endorsing the United Nations Global Compact 

In October 2011, Astellas expressed its support for the United Nations Global Compact (the UN Global Compact), which consists of ten basic principles related to the four fields of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. The UN Global Compact requires its signatories to make voluntary efforts in realizing the ten principles. 

Since the signing of the UN Global Compact, we have been further reinforcing our CSR based management approach to “Contribute toward improving the health of people around the world through the provision of innovative and reliable pharmaceutical products” to realize our raison d’être.
