The company was building new businesses bridging

pharmaceuticals and Food & Beverages to be a core part of
the Kirin Group’s portfolio. In this domain, (See Diagram 5) it

would combine its unique evidence-backed food ingredients

and competitive technological capabilities with open
innovation to make this new domain a sustaining pillar of

the Kirin Group.

The philosophy underpinning Isozaki’s strategy for medium

and long-term growth was based on Creating Shared Value

(first adopted in 2012) and achieved through prioritizing

profitable growth of existing businesses, while accelerating

the shift to CSV as the core of Kirin’s management and the

creation of intangible value (brand, R&D, digitalisation, HR

and organisation). (See Diagram 6)
