KPI and Objectives

Long-term Objectives, KPI and Risks

”Value Creation Initiative”

At Eisai, we have identified 15 material topics according to our materiality identification process. Among them, five topics of great interest to our stakeholders, especially long-term investors, that have a positive social impact and correlation with PBR, were selected. We believe accelerated initiatives in these areas will enhance our intrinsic corporate value through our accelerated efforts, and for these topics, we established long-term objectives, KPIs, and risks through fiscal 2030. Furthermore, every year we analyze our material topics in light of changes in
the business environment and social issues. We review progress against action plans, and revise our material topics and KPIs as necessary.
The material topics and long-term goals, KPIs, and risks were finalized after deliberation and approval by the Executive Board and confirmation by the Board of Directors. Each year, we review the progress of these activities and ensure their promotion through the PDCA cycle.
