The Benefits of Unwavering Quality Checks



Kyowa Kirin rigorously pursues "pharmacovigilance (PV)" activities under its basic policy of "maintaining high quality, complying with relevant laws and regulations, and prioritizing safety." "Vigilance" means "monitoring," "alertness," and "caution." In the medical field, it specifically refers to activities that ensure timely evaluation and review of the benefits and risks associated with pharmaceuticals, enabling safer and more secure use.

QualityRegarding "quality," the company actively works to establish a global quality assurance system while complying with various relevant laws and regulations, promoting activities aimed at providing high-quality products. For example, it manufactures and supplies pharmaceuticals using facilities and systems that comply with "Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)," the standards for manufacturing and quality control of pharmaceuticals established in each country, to people in Japan and abroad.
The music for this theme, "Vigilance & Quality," which focuses on these activities, was created by the internationally active track unit STUDIO APARTMENT. They found common ground with Kyowa Kirin's endeavors in their own meticulous pursuit of quality in track making.





The track is titled "Innovation." Innovation is achieved through meticulous planning and practice over a long period. STUDIO APARTMENT's sound is born from repeated adjustments, with the aim of providing new experiences and considering all listening environments. The spatial sound, with its three-dimensional breadth derived from precise calculations, pioneers new possibilities in hearing. This track is available for streaming on SoundCloud and for download for a limited period of one month.
