Specific Efforts Toward Suzuken's CSR |
Social Contribution Activities |
Suzuken Community Seminar
|
Suzuken aims to contribute not only to physical health, but also to psychological well-being. To this end, it has joined with NHK Culture Centers to offer seminars for the public. The seminars commenced in Nagoya in April 2001, starting in Tokyo in July 2004, and extending to Osaka in April 2005. To date, over 20,000 people have attended the seminars which address the theme of how to live a fulfilling life. The most eminent experts from a variety of fields are invited to speak on the theme of 'opening doors to the era of the mind and spirit.' Moreover, to provide food for thought to young people-the future of Japan-we invite school and university students to attend lectures free of charge. |

Suzuken Memorial Foundation-Conducting research into applications for medical science
|
The Suzuken Memorial Foundation was established in 1981 to carry on the wishes of the Suzuken Group's founder, Kenzo Suzuki. The foundation aims to contribute to the progress of public health-related science and to higher standards in national health and welfare services. To that end, it provides financial assistance for investigative research into medical applications for the various healthcare-related sciences. It also conducts biannual lectures for doctors and other health professionals. |

The Akiyama Foundation
|
The Akiyama Foundation was established in 1987 to carry on the legacy of Konoshin Akiyama, the third president of Akiyama Inc., a pharmaceutical wholesaler that merged with Suzuken in 1998. By supporting basic life science research in Hokkaido, the most northern island of Japan, fostering young researchers and encouraging international academic exchange, the foundation aims to promote and advance learning in Hokkaido and improve the health and welfare of its citizens, as well as help local areas become more international in outlook. The foundation provides financial support toward these ends. |

Installation of Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Equipment

Suzuken has installed automatic external defibrillator (AED) equipment at the head office, Nagoya Branch, Konan Distribution Center, and the head office of Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd, aimed at providing life-saving measures for customers and employees and to make a contribution to local society.
The company has established a system whereby if anyone should need to use AED equipment, they are able to. The company posts stickers labeled "AED-Installed place of Business" at the entrances to buildings where this equipment is installed. |
