In recent years, Fosun International has continued to strengthen its ESG management system, fully integrating sustainability into its strategic decision-making, daily operations, and every stage of its risk management process, comprehensively strengthening the Group and its member companies’ capabilities and execution in managing sustainability-related issues. At the same time, Fosun International actively supports China’s “dual carbon” goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, advancing initiatives in carbon neutrality, energy conservation, emissions reduction, and climate risk management. In 2026, the Company continued its voluntary disclosure practice by releasing its fourth Climate Information Disclosures Report, further enhancing the systematic approach and transparency of its climate-related disclosures.
Actively Responding to Climate Change and Protecting Biodiversity
The Group actively encourages its member companies to carry out climate actions. The Bund Finance Center (BFC), the Group’s main office and a landmark in Shanghai, introduced and followed the LEED Certification, which is hailed as the “Oscar Award” in the green building industry, from the early planning stage. In 2025, 97% of Club Med’s eligible resorts successfully passed audits and obtained the Green Globe Certification, the world’s leading certification for sustainable tourism. Atlantis Sanya, Taicang Alps Resort and Lijiang Club Med Resort had also obtained LEED Gold Certification, demonstrating Fosun’s ongoing efforts and achievements in green building and sustainable tourism.
In addition to honoring Fosun International with “Best in Disclosure & Transition” for its determined efforts to advance low-carbon transition and its high-quality disclosure, The Asset presented the Company with “Best Initiative in Environmental Responsibility” in recognition of its deep commitment to addressing climate change and protecting biodiversity. Notably, The Asset singled out the Sea Turtle Shelter project at the Atlantis Sanya aquarium for special praise.
As early as 2018, Atlantis Sanya, a subsidiary of Fosun, 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.
Leveraging Innovation to Deliver Lasting Social Impact
Fosun adheres to an innovation-driven strategy, continuously delivering innovative achievements across its businesses to better serve society. In the Health business segment, Fosun targets unmet medical needs, with a strategic focus on key therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology and inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases, while actively expanding into cardiometabolic diseases and rare diseases. This approach enables the development of high valued competitive pipelines and comprehensive healthcare solutions. Meanwhile, it continues to consolidate its core technical platforms including antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), small molecules, and cell therapies, while expanding into cutting-edge therapeutic modalities such as radiopharmaceuticals and small nucleic acids. Its innovative products are now available in more than 90 countries and regions worldwide. In the first half of 2026, a total of 20 indications of 7 innovative drugs were approved for launch both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, HANSIZHUANG, HLX43, and other marketed and pipeline innovative drugs achieved several “world’s first” breakthroughs.
In global public health, as of 30 June 2026, Fosun Pharma had cumulatively supplied more than 460 million vials of artesunate for injection worldwide, saving more than 92 million patients with severe malaria.
Strengthening Social Responsibility and Empowering Primary Healthcare through Technology
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 areas such as global emergency relief, rural revitalization, health, education, culture and art, youth development, to create social value. In presenting Fosun International with “Best Initiative in Social Responsibility”, The Asset singled out its “Rural Doctors” corporate social responsibility program and commended its introduction of the “AI Rural Doctor Assistant” into primary healthcare to expand access to healthcare and improve efficiency.
Since the launch of the Rural Doctors Program at the end of 2017, the program 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. To harness AI to support rural revitalization and strengthen primary healthcare, Fosun Foundation partnered with the Alibaba Foundation to launch the “AI Rural Doctor Assistant”, a technology-driven philanthropic initiative. It transforms the Rural Doctors’ Pocket Guide, a clinical reference jointly compiled by experts, into a digital database. Rural doctors can access its intelligent question-and-answer interface at any time via a mobile phone or computer, helping them diagnose and treat patients more efficiently.
Fostering ESG culture from the top down and building a long-term ESG management system
Fosun prioritizes sustainability and has established a top-down and long-term mechanism for ESG improvement. The Company has included ESG management performance in the performance assessment not only for executive directors, but also for the CEOs of the Group and the personnel in charge of each business group. Fosun consistently fosters an ESG culture from the top down. Through regular global ESG networking workshops, ESG culture week activities and its ESG digital platform, the Company has established open and transparent communication channels across its member companies. These channels facilitate the ongoing sharing of best practices and help subsidiaries advance their ESG initiatives. The Company also maintains effective and transparent communication with stakeholders and rating agencies. The “Best Sustainability Team” award from The Asset underscores market recognition of the Company’s ESG management and its efforts to advance environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
Looking ahead, as a global enterprise rooted in China, Fosun will continue to uphold its original aspiration of “Contribution to Society”. Through continuous innovation and responsible global operations, Fosun will actively shoulder more social responsibility, striving to build a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable future.
