Third Medium-Term Management Plan (2019–2023)
Advance in the Global Market as a Unique Total Healthcare Company —Five-Year Growth Phase—
Otsuka has continued to create new value, underpinned by its corporate philosophy of “Otsuka-people creating new products for better health worldwide” and driven by its essence of management—Ryukan-godo (Commitment), Jissho (actualization), and Sozosei (creativity). Integral to this value creation have been: (1) new concepts created from the organic combination of unique and diverse businesses with insights into the world's true needs and technological/scientific know-how; (2) synergies and related developments of diverse operations; and (3) the cultivation of niche areas of business.
As a total healthcare company that supports daily maintenance and promotion of health, extending from diagnosis through to the treatment of disease, we aim “to become an indispensable contributor to people's health worldwide” through our Pharmaceutical Business and Nutraceutical Business by offering original products that address both unmet medical needs and yet-to-be-imagined needs.
We have chosen, “Advance in the Global Market as a Unique Total Healthcare Company: Five-Year Growth Phase” to describe the positioning of our Third Medium-Term Management Plan. By creating new value and maximizing existing business value in our two core businesses—the Pharmaceutical Business and the Nutraceutical Business—and through business management with a corporate-wide awareness of capital cost, we aim to achieve sustainable growth.
