Our plants and laboratories periodically measure their environmental loads, such as air and water pollution and confirm that they are below the standard values. From the perspective of protecting the surrounding environment, we also regularly measure noise, vibration, and odors in the vicinity of our plants and laboratories to confirm that the levels are below the standard values. During the past four years, from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2023, there have been no administrative actions, lawsuits, fines, etc. on environment of the premises.

The Eisai Group in Japan has compiled procedures for responding to environmental accidents in its Disaster and Accident Response Manual and the Industrial Accident Reporting and Compilation Standards.
