The Taisho Pharmaceutical Group handles a wide range of health-related products, including prescription medications, OTC drugs, health foods, and cosmetics. We are committed to addressing various social issues within each business domain.
As an example, natural disasters such as earthquakes, windstorms and floods in recent years have raised awareness of disaster prevention, there have also been issues related to stockpiled food such as water shortages, unbalanced nutrition, and insufficient supply of anti-allergic food when disasters occur. In response to these issues, we launched "Lipovitan JELLY for long-term storage," jelly type drink that is suitable for emergency stockpiling because of its special technology that enables long-term storage※ for 5 years. In April 2022, the company received the "Emergency Foods Award 2022" award of excellence in the "Health and allergy category," sponsored by the Disaster Prevention Safety Association, which is awarded to emergency foods that can be eaten with peace of mind in terms of health and safety at the time of a disaster.
