Water shortages and increased flood risks due to climate change are becoming a social issue, and for Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Group, securing good quality water is extremely important for pharmaceutical research and manufacturing.
The Group has set a goal in Medium-Term Environmental Action Plan 21-25 of reducing water use, and manages the amount of water withdrawal and wastewater in its business activities, saves water to reduce its water withdrawal, and makes effective use of its limited water resources.

Reduce water use 15% from fiscal 2019 by fiscal 2025

The water withdrawal of all bases globally in fiscal 2023 was 3,698 thousand m³, down 38% from actual withdrawals in fiscal 2019, significantly exceeding targets.
In addition to our everyday water-saving activities, the use of recycled water at our plants and a review of water intake reduced water withdrawal.
The total volume of wastewater discharged at all bases globally was 3,467 thousand m3, mainly discharged to rivers.
