Our Social Mission
Guided by the aspiration embodied in our name “H.U. (Healthcare for You)”, which expresses delivering the best possible healthcare to every individual, the H.U. Group has long supported the foundations of healthcare, with clinical testing at the core of our business.
As healthcare-related social issues including population aging, rising healthcare costs, the normalization of infectious disease risks, and growing expectations for preventive care and early diagnosis grow increasingly complex, our role continues to grow in importance.
In this environment, our social mission is to address health and healthcare challenges with patients at the center of everything we do.
Our businesses such as clinical testing services, the development and manufacture of diagnostic reagents, and the sterilization of medical equipment, directly fulfill this role, supporting the stability of healthcare and contributing to peace of mind in society.
Resolution of Social Issues Through Our Businesses
In our Medium-term plan starting in fiscal 2025, we integrated sustainability into our management/business strategies and also reviewed our material issues (materiality) in order to realize our Mission and Vision.
Our highest-priority materiality among these is “Resolution of social issues through our businesses”.
We contribute to the advancement of healthcare through the evolution of our businesses by addressing healthcare challenges, advancing research and development, developing new testing technologies, and expanding diagnostic fields.
Through these efforts, we aim to create social value while achieving growth that leads to the future.
Foundations That Support Trust
As a company engaged in healthcare, ensuring quality and safety is our most important responsibility.
Having supported healthcare for more than 75 years, we have built trust, fulfilled our responsibilities, and established a strong track record.
The technologies and expertise cultivated by our businesses are our core strengths.
We will continue to engage sincerely with our stakeholders and contribute to society as a company that supports people’s health.
