Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

There is strength in diversity, empowerment in inclusion and fairness in equity. All three elements of the DE&I spectrum are essential for everyone at Takeda to reach their full potential. And it is just as important for our business success – we need a workforce as diverse as the communities and patients that we serve. Our aim is for our workforce to reflect the talent pools in the communities in which we operate, supporting the full range of human differences, physical, cognitive, relational, occupational, societal and value related. Our commitment is to give everyone equitable access to opportunities and achieve their full potential. We do this by removing barriers to inclusion, and giving everyone what they need to be successful, including through advancement, support, and reward. Our goal is to create a workplace where people feel a sense of belonging, respect, and value and that they have a voice, feel heard and feel psychologically safe. In Canada, our DE&I committee is led by Jason Hamburg, Vice-President, Neuroscience and Vaccines, and steered by a diverse group of employees across the company, who work every day to ensure DE&I is embedded into everything we do. This team is further supported by our Global DE&I Council, comprised of senior Takeda leaders across the businesses, functions and locations, which advises Takeda on appropriate issues and aligns initiatives with the company’s global focus areas.

Our Purpose: Better Health, Brighter Future

Takeda is focused on creating better health for people and a brighter future for the world. We aim to discover and deliver life-transforming treatments in our core therapeutic and business areas, including gastrointestinal and inflammation, rare diseases, plasma-derived therapies, oncology, neuroscience and vaccines. Together with our partners, we aim to improve the patient experience and advance a new frontier of treatment options through our dynamic and diverse pipeline. As a leading values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical company, we are guided by our commitment to patients, our people and the planet.

“Fostering an inclusive workplace where all employees feel seen, valued, and empowered isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s an imperative. When we celebrate diversity and champion different perspectives, we spark innovation, strengthen collaboration, and build a culture where everyone can thrive. Each of us plays a role in shaping a more equitable future, and by advocating for authenticity and inclusion, we are not only uplifting one another but also ensuring that every voice is heard and respected – ultimately driving our collective success.”
