Eisai exceeded the average of its industry peers in all criteria, receiving particularly high scores for such as the “information disclosure and dissemination to other companies” (in the criteria of management philosophy and policies), “well adopted by employees” (in the criteria of organized frameworks), “lifestyle improvement” and “other measures*” (in the criteria of systems and implementation of measures). The program was launched in 2017, and this is the fourth time that Eisai was certified as a “White 500” company.

Eisai issued the “Eisai Health Declaration” in 2019, and has strategically implemented health management for employees from a management perspective.
