Inclusive job descriptions, the recruitment of candidates from diverse professional networks, clear pathways for development and promotion, and employee resource groups, are just some of the ways we put these beliefs into practice.

At Otsuka, we hold a deep respect for the value of every mind.

At Otsuka, we hold a deep respect for the value of every mind. We believe that the human mind is infinitely valuable, fostering imagination, intelligence, perception, and so much more. By recognizing this value, we have the power to change the trajectory of people’s lives. This is why we will not rest until mental illnesses and brain diseases are approached with the same priority and urgency as our physical health and recognized as chronic diseases that warrant early, equitable, and accessible intervention. Through products, programs, policies, and advocacy, Otsuka-people will defy any limitation that stands in their way until every mind is valued. This commitment extends to those who care for people living with mental illnesses and other brain conditions. We are dedicated to caring for those who care for our patients—standing with them, the way they stand with their loved ones—and offering the tools they need for the health of others and themselves.
