Management Policy
Corporate Philosophies, Long-Term Vision
We are committed to becoming a corporate group distinguished by its level of customer trust.
Our slogan is “Design Your Smile: The Suzuken Group—Creating Healthier and Better Lives.” The core theme of the slogan, “Smile,” underpins our corporate philosophies. United as a Group, we will continue contributing to fulfilling lives filled with smiles for all people as a health creation company.
Having identified “health creation” as our business domain, we are enhancing our capabilities in pharmaceutical wholesale distribution, a key part of our operations. At the same time, we are comprehensively advancing our businesses in broad-ranging areas related to medical care and health, including development and manufacture of ethical drugs and medical equipment, as well as health insurance pharmacies and nursing care. By improving our services in each business of the medical value chain, we will integrate the specialist expertise and diversified human resources of our various Group companies and demonstrate our collective strengths across wide-ranging domains.
Our declared intention is to become “a presence indispensable for medical care and health, in Japan and elsewhere in Asia, by continuously creating new levels of added value in the fields of medical and nursing care” by 2025. Based on this long-term vision, we will deliver services of choice to customers and earn a distinguished reputation for customer trust. In these ways, we will work to seize the No. 1 position, or the equivalent thereof, in each of our businesses and expand our corporate value over the long term.
Corporate Philosophies of the Suzuken Group
Transition of Business Model
Business model for health creation enterprise
In preparation for the realization of a health creation enterprise, in addition to the conventional businesses based on a supply chain concept, we will create new businesses based on a demand chain concept.
The Suzuken Group aims to be a corporate Group that meets the needs of all our stakeholders.
Suzuken Group’s Value Creation Process
Toward creation of new value through transformation into a health creation enterprise
With the formulation of the new medium-term management plan, which starts in fiscal 2023, the Suzuken Group reviewed the value creation process.
Using digital technologies as a corporate group supporting health creation at every life stage of patients, we will work as “One Team” to bring about the major reform of transitioning to a health creation enterprise, as we aim to create value that we are designating as the three heartbeats: “Protect the health of local residents,” “Reduce social waste through supply and demand adjustment functions,” and “Cultivate human resources that can create future value.”
We believe the pharmaceutical distribution function that our Group provides as social infrastructure and our businesses and functions that contribute to local society are factors that will contribute to achieving the SDGs that the United Nations selected in 2015.
In particular, the third of the SDGs, "health and welfare for all people," can be seen in the desire reflected in our Group's corporate philosophy of "continuing to contribute to fulfilling lives filled with smiles for all people." We will contribute to achieving a sustainable society through our group's business activities and the new value and services we produce as a health creation enterprise.
