Commitment of Top Management
Achieving sustainable growth by pursuing the essence of healthcare and addressing social issues
Since its founding in 1980, the Nihon Chouzai Group has provided a wide range of healthcare-focused services, with its Dispensing Pharmacy Business at the core, delivering high-quality medical services across Japan.
As Japan enters a super-aging society, the relentless rise in healthcare costs threatening the sustainability of its world-class healthcare insurance system. Against this backdrop, our Group has defined its mission in its Group philosophy as “To give people the closest possible support.” Healthcare is deeply connected to people’s lives and well-being. As a healthcare group supporting Japan’s medical system, we are fully committed to addressing social challenges and realizing a sustainable healthcare system.
In fiscal year 2021, the Nihon Chouzai Group launched a cross-group sustainability initiative and identified its material issues. This initiative began by promoting internal understanding of the SDGs, followed by an analysis of the Group’s business activities, the identification of key challenges, and an evaluation of their alignment with the SDGs. Based on the relative importance from both stakeholder and management perspectives, we developed a materiality priority map.
Among the 17 SDGs, we are particularly committed to contributing to Goal 3: “Good Health and Well-Being for All.” This goal aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for people of all ages. We firmly believe that achieving our own sustainable growth will directly contribute to the realization of this goal.
While creating economic value as a business, our Group has also expanded its operations nationwide and contributed to the advancement of healthcare in Japan. Now, five years after identifying our material issues, we are working to optimize our sustainability management—including a review of our materiality—in response to a rapidly changing social environment.
The Nihon Chouzai Group will continue to pursue the true essence of healthcare, contribute to the resolution of social challenges, and achieve long-term corporate growth. Through these efforts, we are committed to meeting the expectations of all our stakeholders.
