Eisai prioritizes the interests of patients and public health, meeting their diverse needs and contributing to the enhancement of their well-being (the "hhc" concept: human health care). Based on this corporate philosophy, we effectively realize social value by alleviating patients' health-related anxieties and reducing health disparities. To implement this concept, Eisai is committed to quantifying the value of non-financial capital, including social and employee impacts, to create long-term, sustainable corporate value. Through dialogue between investors and senior management, as well as the publication of the Value Creation Report, we communicate the connection between financial and non-financial values and demonstrate the visualization of non-financial value.

Eisai will continue to respect the rights of shareholders and investors, ensure the fairness and transparency of management, and commit to carrying out investor relations activities to help enhance corporate value.
