Human capital
Policy
Basic Policy 1 in "Beyond Imagination 2030," our long-term management plan, is "Develop and activate self-sufficient personnel who are capable of acting independently, and who respond to diversifying organizations and societies". We endeavor to develop self-sufficient personnel who set their own goals and have high aspirations to achieve them by maintaining a good balance in work motivation, healthy workplace environment, and fair evaluations and compensation.
In addition, the Sustainability Promotion Committee deliberates and decides on the identification of important matters related to human capital and disclosure policies, and a system has been established to receive recommendations from the Board of Directors on important matters.
Focused efforts
In order to realize our management philosophy, we are committed to human resource and organizational development to cultivate Self-Sufficient, both individuals and organizations, who can envision the future on their own initiative, make judgments based on the essence of things, and perform their duties with the involvement of those around them. At the same time, we are actively developing the internal environment that will serve as the foundation for the development of Self-Sufficient Personnel.
Metrics and Targets
We administered stress checks for all employees at our company and domestic subsidiaries. We consider comprehensive indicators, including employee satisfaction levels, not just the legal elements. Of the 36 items, we scored above the national average on 31 items, with figures that compare favorably with national averages.
We will continue to rebalance work motivation, a healthy work environment, and fair evaluations and compensation to achieve a good balance and will strive to realize a cheerful society by creating the environment and establishing the means for employees to contribute more actively as self-sufficient personnel.

Initiatives to Improve Access to Health Care
Demand for pharmaceuticals is rapidly increasing in developing countries due to population growth and economic development. However, access to medical services and medicines still needs to be secured due to inadequate infrastructure, medical environment, and financial reasons. In light of this situation, Taiyo Holdings group is investing in healthcare-related fields* in Africa to build a network with local companies with which we can expect synergies in the future while aiming to solve social issues and realize sustainable businesses. In addition, we are cooperating with the "Vaccines for the World's Children Support Program" of the Japan Committee, Vaccines for the World's Children, (JCV), a certified Non-Profit Organization (NPO).

Establishment of "T-Links," a Welfare Facility That Serves the Community as a Temporary (Evacuation) Shelter
In November 2022, T-LINKS, a welfare facility, opened on the premises of Taiyo Pharma Tech in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture. Although the facility is primarily for the use of employees, it is a new welfare facility that connects the company and the local community, serving as a temporary shelter in the event of a disaster for those who remain in Takatsuki City and are unable to return home, as well as for nearby residents. Taiyo Holdings Group will continue to utilize the welfare facility "T-LINKS" to create a comfortable working environment for employees and to harmonize with the local community and society.
