Message from the President

Message from the President on Our Sustainability Policy

Guided by our philosophy, “Happiness, for the Next Generations”, Kitazato has remained deeply committed to supporting reproductive medicine while engaging sincerely with life, future generations and society.

The products and technologies we provide are closely connected to the lives of patients and their families. Fully aware of the weight of this responsibility, we conduct our business activities with the highest standards of care and integrity.

In recent years, the challenges facing global society—including environmental issues, climate change, human rights, labor conditions, and social inequality—have grown increasingly complex. In response, we believe that our role lies in simultaneously achieving both value creation through business and the fulfillment of social responsibility.

For Kitazato Corporation, sustainability goes far beyond environmental considerations or social contribution alone. At its core, sustainability means sustaining a business that is fundamentally connected to life itself, reproductive medicine. This is underpinned by high ethical standards, reliable quality, a stable supply, and consideration for people and the environment. Our mission is to pass this responsibility on to future generations. This is the very essence of our sustainability.

We are committed to reducing environmental impact, promoting resource circulation, and addressing climate change, while also respecting human rights, ensuring occupational health and safety, fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, and strengthening our organizational foundation through human capital development and the promotion of digital transformation (DX).

All of these initiatives are essential to maintaining trust in medical care and to ensuring the stable delivery of safe and reliable products to healthcare professionals in more than 110 countries and regions worldwide.

In addition, we place great importance on responsible behavior throughout our supply chain, coexistence with local communities, and educational and awareness-raising activities for future generations. We strive to ensure that our corporate growth remains a positive force for society, contributing to the sustainable development of society without imposing undue burden on the environment.

As a company that supports the beginning of life, Kitazato will continue to uphold its pride and responsibility, pursue sincere and transparent management, and work together with all stakeholders to shape a sustainable future.
