Takeda strives toward better health for individuals and progress
in medicine by developing superior pharmaceutical products. In
doing so, we have built relationships with key organizations in
the community to help advance their research and education
programs.

American Diabetes Association - As the marketer of ACTOS® (pioglitazone HCl), a type
2 diabetes oral therapy, Takeda has a natural connection with
organizations working to improve the lives of people with
diabetes. In that spirit, Takeda is a "Banting Circle Elite"
donor with the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the nation’s
leading nonprofit health organization providing diabetes research,
information and advocacy.
Through that sponsorship, Takeda is a lead corporate sponsor of the
ADA "Step Out to Fight Diabetes" walk in the Northern Illinois area
and is a corporate sponsor of the ADA's School Walk for Diabetes,
an educational event that teaches elementary students the
importance of exercise and a healthful diet in preventing diabetes.
Takeda also supports various ADA events around the country.

American Heart Association - Takeda understands the correlation between diabetes and heart
disease so has joined forces with the American Heart Association.
Through the partnership, Takeda is a sponsor of the Go Red for
Women campaign, the nationwide movement that celebrates the energy,
passion and power of women to band together and wipe out heart
disease.

American Cancer Society - A sponsor of local Chicago American Cancer Society events, Takeda
also participates in the organization's Daffodil Days Program,
providing employees with the chance to brighten the lives of
hospital patients each spring through the purchase and delivery of
flowers.
