Case Study: Astellas Pharma achieves centralized global policy coordination and real-time regulatory monitoring with FiscalNote

How Astellas Built a Global Policy Function with FiscalNote

Astellas, a global pharmaceutical company operating in more than 30 countries with over 15,000 employees, needed a way to align its dispersed policy and government affairs teams on regulatory developments, advocacy plans, and stakeholder engagement. Teams across regions relied on varied local systems, making it difficult to monitor international legislation, coordinate rapid responses, and maintain consistent messaging across time zones and markets.

By adopting FiscalNote as a centralized, mobile-accessible platform, Astellas created a single repository for priority messaging, documents, and automated tracking of legislation and regulation across key markets. The solution improved real-time monitoring, streamlined stakeholder management and collaboration, and enabled faster coordinated advocacy on market access, pricing, and IP issues — driving greater efficiency, more consistent global strategy, and measurable success in protecting patient access to treatments.
