Countless precious lives surround us.

Brought into this world, blessed, raised with loving care

Full of dreams, happiness as the goal of life.

Deeply instill in us, and know that what we work for -

The most precious presence of all on this planet.

Infinite possibilities for us, a pharmaceutical company.

Believe in ourselves, believe in our power

Believe in what we have built together.

Not a large company, but with quality like none other

History so unique we can be proud of,

Technology unmatched,

And superior human beings that cannot be found elsewhere.

Be brave; do not shy away from challenges.

Have passion; break away from the norm.

Innovation is not just about growth-

But instead a leap towards the future, a grand growth with wings.

Wings never to be given to those who settle for the status-quo.

Don’t just make medicine.

Make people smile, bring light to their lives.

How strongly one longs to live.

How deeply one is loved by their loved ones.

How sincerely one desires to help the one life

they dedicate themselves to in the field of medicine.

...

Taking the walk of life,

one life at a time.

President's message

Delivering life-changing value is at the heart of what we do.


Like you, every one of us at Kyowa Kirin is a parent, child, sibling, friend, relative. We know the pain of falling sick, and what it means to take care of loved ones who are ill. The knowledge that what we do brings relief to the lives of others, motivates us. Whether it is ensuring our products meet the highest standards of safety and quality, making them available in the pharmacy reliably, or disclosing unbiased information you need to make informed decisions to use them effectively, we are steadfast in our commitment to life.


As we enter a new decade forged in the wake of a global pandemic that has disrupted lives and accelerated changes to the way we live and work, we are determined to stay on the forefront of improving the way we deliver healthcare. Your suggestions, ideas, and thoughts are important to us. We encourage you to reach out to us whenever you have feedback that can help us deliver value better, if you wish to let us know how a patient is doing, or enquire about how you might.


We look forward to hearing from you,
