Supporting Takeda’s Sustainability Commitments

The Jaguariúna site has already achieved a Scope 1 zero carbon emissions target by purchasing renewable electricity.

Another remarkable achievement was to become a zero landfill factory by adopting sustainable procedures and technologies for disposal (e.g. pyrolysis), recycling, upcycling, and waste-to-energy supply.

Dedicated to an Exceptional Employee Experience

We are dedicated to providing an exceptional employee experience. Here are three important facts about Diversity and Inclusion at Takeda:

Recognized for Inclusion: We are proud to have received a Global DE&I Award in 2022 for a project promoting inclusion by designing a hair cover for individuals with voluminous hair, such as afro-textured hair. This initiative has enabled everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable when accessing our production area.

Empowering Communication: We believe in fostering inclusivity through effective communication. That is why we have trained some of our employees in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). This enables us to have a better connection and support for our deaf colleagues, enhancing communication and collaboration in our daily interactions.

Gender-Balanced Leadership: At Jaguariúna, we value diversity at all levels. Our leadership team exemplifies this commitment, with a balanced representation of 49% women and 51% men. This gender balance brings diverse perspectives and experiences to the table, driving innovation and success.

By embracing diversity and inclusion, we create an environment where every employee can thrive and contribute their unique talents.
