In addition to the Group Mission, the Core Values connect Terumo associates around the world, and the Terumo Group Code of Conduct act as a guide that all employees follow to act with the highest ethical standards. These three principles have been defined as the Terumo Group Identity and are put into practice in all our corporate activities.

We contribute to society by providing valued products and services in the healthcare market and by responding to the needs of patients and healthcare professionals.

We show respect and appreciation toward associates, customers, and business partners. We value individuality and diverse cultures, and listen widely and carefully to different opinions and the voice of society.

As associates of Terumo Group, responsible for life and health, we always act with sincerity and a sense of mission. Through our daily efforts, we build trust among all stakeholders.

We are mindful that everything we do ultimately connects us to patients. We strive to understand health providers deeply and work together with them to give patients a better future.

To ensure safety and reliability in healthcare, we view each issue from a “gemba” perspective in order to find the optimal solution. As well as product quality, we pursue excellence in all we do, from product supply to customer care.

We promote a mindset that embraces challenge for the future, and work with curiosity and passion. We respond to the needs of “gemba” by delivering products and services that create meaningful value in a timely manner.
