In 1989, top management at Eisai issued a “Commitment to innovation.” The commitment asked the important question: “The world is changing. Can you change with it?”

The significance of Eisai's commitment was its clear recognition that patients and their families are the most important participants in the healthcare process. Eisai takes pride in increasing the benefits to patients and their families while conducting its business.

Eisai's commitment to innovation is embodied in its hhc (human health care) philosophy. To realize that mission Eisai conducts diverse patient-focused activities.
The company's philosophy has been understood and internalized by each employee in Eisai, whether in Japan or overseas. That understanding is shared by all employees and rises above nationalities, national borders, gender, and age.

We demonstrate our obligation to society, by identifying with the health care "participants", developing a response to their needs, verifying the social benefits of this response, and finally, making this response available to the world before anyone else.

That is the hhc that Eisai aims to realize.
