"they have actively advanced the deep integration of the Group's ESG into its businesses"

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are key factors investors consider when evaluating how sustainable and responsible a company is. It involves assessing how a company manages its impact on the environment, treats its employees and communities, and operates transparently and ethically. Investors use ESG criteria to identify businesses that align with their values and have the potential for long-term success.

msci esg rating financial

"Fosun International's MSCI ESG rating has been upgraded to the highest rating AAA"

An MSCI ESG Rating is a standardized score that evaluates a company’s exposure to environmental, social and governance risks and how well it manages them compared with peers. Investors use it like a credit score for non-financial risks—helping judge whether a firm is likely to face reputational, regulatory or operational problems that could hurt returns over time, and to align portfolios with sustainability goals.

scope 1 technical

"reduce the intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20% by 2034"

Scope 1 are the greenhouse gas emissions a company produces directly from sources it owns or controls, like fuel burned in company vehicles, boilers, or on-site factories. Think of it as the smoke coming out of a business’s own chimney versus electricity it buys from the grid. Investors watch Scope 1 because these direct emissions can create regulatory costs, operational changes, and reputational risks that affect profitability and long-term value.

scope 2 technical

"reduce the intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20% by 2034"

Scope 2 covers the greenhouse gas emissions produced indirectly when a business uses energy it buys from others—most commonly electricity, but also steam, heating or cooling. Think of it like the pollution linked to your household’s electricity bill: you didn’t burn the fuel yourself, but your consumption still causes emissions. Investors watch Scope 2 because it affects a company’s climate footprint, energy costs, regulatory exposure and reputation, all of which can influence long‑term financial performance.

ghg emissions technical

"reduce the intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20% by 2034"

GHG emissions are the greenhouse gases a company or activity releases into the atmosphere—like carbon dioxide and methane from burning fuels, farming, or industrial processes—that trap heat and drive climate change. Investors care because those emissions translate into future costs and risks (regulation, carbon pricing, supply-chain disruption, asset impairment) or opportunities from cleaner operations; think of them as a company’s ongoing “carbon bill” that can raise or lower its long‑term value.

orphan drug designation regulatory

"HLX22 is the world's first anti-HER2-targeted therapy to receive Orphan Drug Designation (ODD)"

Orphan drug designation is a special status given to medicines developed to treat rare diseases affecting only a small number of people. This status often provides benefits like faster approval processes and financial incentives, making it more attractive for companies to develop these drugs. For investors, it signals potential for exclusive market rights and reduced competition, which can impact the drug’s profitability.

These accolades not only affirm Fosun's outstanding performance in promoting global sustainable development and fulfilling corporate social responsibility, but also highlight its steadfast dedication to ESG knowledge sharing and climate advocacy.

Despite global economic, environmental, and social uncertainties in 2025, Fosun remained steadfast in its sustainability commitment and made remarkable strides. Fosun International's MSCI ESG rating has been upgraded to the highest rating AAA. It has maintained a Hang Seng Sustainability Rating of AA-. It has also been included in S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook 2026 and consistently ranked among the top 1% in China.

Actively Responding to Climate Change and Protecting Biodiversity

In response to climate change and low-carbon transition, Fosun actively responds to the national "dual carbon" goals by promoting carbon neutrality and energy conservation and emissions reduction. In 2021, Fosun made a commitment to society – "strive to peak carbon emissions by 2028 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050". Fosun has formulated strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation to align with the 1.5°C temperature control target set in the Paris Agreement. Building on its commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Fosun has set a mid-term target to reduce the intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20% by 2034, using 2024 as the base year. This reflects Fosun's rigorous management of operational emissions and demonstrates the Group's commitment and execution in advancing low-carbon transition.

In addition to actively addressing climate change, Fosun also places great importance on biodiversity conservation. In 2018, Atlantis Sanya under Fosun Tourism Group officially established an aquatic wildlife rescue station. Over the years, it has rescued a total of 42 wild sea turtles. On 23 May this year, World Turtle Day, the Sea Turtle Shelter at the Atlantis Sanya aquarium was officially inaugurated. Sea turtles with minor injuries are treated and released back into the sea upon full recovery, while those unable to return to the wild are given a permanent home at the shelter. Covering an area of 388 square meters, the Sea Turtle Shelter features rehabilitation pools, an educational exhibition hall, and breeding beaches designed to replicate a natural ecosystem, offering both a recovery space and long-term habitat for sea turtles.

Driven by Innovation, Committed to Social Contribution

Fosun adheres to an innovation-driven strategy. Its Health segment has developed anticancer and antimalarial drugs that have widely benefited cancer patients and severe malaria patients. Among them, HANSIZHUANG, HLX43, HLX22, and other marketed and pipeline innovative drugs have delivered several "world's first" breakthroughs. HANSIZHUANG became the world's first monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1 approved for first-line treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), and has been approved for marketing in over 40 countries and regions. HLX43 has shown significant advantages, with a favorable efficacy and safety profile in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gynecological tumors, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and other indications. HLX22 is the world's first anti-HER2-targeted therapy to receive Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) approvals from both U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission (EC) for gastric cancer. As of 31 December 2025, Fosun Pharma's independently developed artesunate for injection had saved more than 88 million severe malaria patients worldwide, with more than 440 million doses supplied globally.

In order to better promote the fulfillment and implementation of corporate social responsibility, Fosun Foundation was established in 2012. It has been making unremitting efforts in the fields of global emergency relief, rural revitalization, health, education, culture and art, youth development, to create social value. Among these efforts, the Rural Doctors Program, launched in 2017, has covered 78 counties in 16 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across the country, supporting 25,000 rural doctors and benefiting 3 million rural families.

Looking ahead, Fosun remains dedicated to advancing its social responsibility through innovation and responsible global operations. Guided by its "Create IMPACT" sustainable development strategy, Fosun will intensify its efforts to build a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable future.
