The Astellas Group’s business philosophy has three elements — raison d'être, mission and beliefs. This business philosophy expresses the company’s of aiming to contribute to the health of people around the world

I am a bit confuse with the line; the company's of aiming - what style is this?

Can not we write it in a plain English.... the company's aim to contribute...

Not a teacher only a native.

I think that the Astellas Group is guilty of using 'business speak', I think this from looking at your other posts also. They are purposely using terms/phrases that sound impressive, however they are inappropriate and often lead to confusion. This is an increasing critisim in Britain, especially of councils and in job adverts.

I agree with you, plain English should be used.

ps. I don't think that the highlighted text is grammatically correct either.
