This prestigious event was hosted by The Asset, a prominent Asian financial magazine, to celebrate companies dedicated to advancing sustainable practices. Fosun was honored with the Gold Award and named the Best Sustainability Team, acknowledging its strong commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

The rebranding of The Asset's ESG awards this year, coinciding with the magazine's 25th anniversary, highlights a deeper emphasis on comprehensive sustainability practices. This renaming signifies a shift towards recognizing companies that are committed not just to profit but also to promoting societal wellbeing and environmental responsibility. Fosun’s impressive performance across various areas, including financial management, governance, social responsibility initiatives, and transparency, earned it these remarkable accolades.

Reflecting on the journey, Fosun International has consistently prioritized sustainable development, adapting to evolving global policies and implementing a robust ESG framework. This approach has integrated sustainability into its operational ethos—underscoring the company’s dedication to innovation and long-term value creation.

Over the years, Fosun has not just kept pace with, but has often set benchmarks in ESG ratings.

Additionally, it holds a solid AA- rating from the Hang Seng Index and remains a member of the FTSE4Good Index, indicating its effective management of social and environmental challenges.

Innovation and Social Contribution

Fosun's commitment to innovation is evident in its wide range of biopharmaceuticals that have reached over 60 countries, positively impacting the lives of more than 850,000 patients globally. The company’s flagship products, HANQUYOU—an advanced monoclonal antibody for breast cancer—and HANSIZHUANG, the first anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for small cell lung cancer treatment, are testaments to its innovative spirit. With approvals from multiple countries, these products are helping to address critical healthcare needs on a global scale.

Furthermore, Fosun has made remarkable strides in the realm of public health by tackling malaria in Africa, employing its proprietary artesunate for injection, which has been administered to over 84 million patients suffering from severe malaria worldwide. Such initiatives underscore Fosun’s commitment not just to profit, but to improving global health outcomes.

Addressing Climate Change

Recognizing climate change as a pressing global challenge, Fosun is taking proactive measures to foster a low-carbon future. Under the guidance of its Board of Directors, the company has embedded carbon neutrality into its corporate governance framework. The commitment to peak carbon emissions by 2028 and achieve full carbon neutrality by 2050 aligns with international efforts to combat climate disruptions as outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Fosun has innovated by developing a comprehensive carbon emission management system and actively training its workforce in greenhouse gas inventory management. These measures not only aim to mitigate the company's environmental footprint but also enhance operational efficiency across its diverse range of businesses.

Comprehensive ESG Governance Mechanism

To effectively implement its ESG strategies, Fosun has established a structured governance model that influences decision-making from the Board level down through all operational areas. The creation of an ESG Board Committee and an Executive Committee points to a serious and systematic approach to managing sustainability initiatives. Regular workshops and training sessions foster an ESG-centric culture within the organization, ensuring that employees at all levels are equipped and motivated to contribute positively to the company's sustainability goals.

The recognition from The Asset with awards for both the Gold Award and the Best Sustainability Team illustrates not only Fosun’s leadership in sustainable practices but also its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what a socially responsible corporation can achieve in today's complex global environment.
