When Eisai began planning their new U.S. headquarters in northern New Jersey, the pharmaceutical company investigated ways to maximize the move’s environmental and social benefit.

An initiative that supported a broader mission

Working together, Eisai and Green Standards provided donations to 10 non-profit and charitable organizations in the tri-state area, including schools and libraries. This social impact directly supported the company’s Human Health Care Mission, which aims to help people lead their fullest lives extends beyond therapeutic advancements and is tied to Eisai’s efforts to support sustainability, both in our communities and across the globe.
