What We Stand For
Our long-term vision to improve patient quality of life and the society in which we live arises from Santen's Core Value:
Tenki ni sanyo suru*
We think carefully about what is essential, decide clearly what we should do, and act quickly.
*Santen's original interpretation of a passage from chapter 22 of Zhongyong (The Doctrine of the Mean) by Confucius, meaning "exploring the secrets and mechanisms of nature in order to contribute to people's health."
