Building partnerships that support healthy lifestyles.

Takeda has a natural connection with organizations working to improve people's lives through progress in medicine and healthcare. As we continue to grow and innovate, this connection becomes more valuable to both Takeda and our partners in health education, research, and patient advocacy.

American Diabetes Association—As the marketer of ACTOS® (pioglitazone HCl), 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 this sponsorship, Takeda is a lead corporate sponsor of the ADA "Step Out to Fight Diabetes" walk in the Northern Illinois area. Takeda is also proud to be 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. In addition to these corporate sponsorship opportunities, Takeda supports ADA events around the country.

American Heart Association—Takeda understands the correlation between diabetes and heart disease. In this light, we have partnered 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—As 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.
