SHANGHAI, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On April 15, 2025, Henlius (2696.HK) released the “2024 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report” (hereinafter referred to as the “ESG Report” or “Report”). This marks the sixth consecutive year that the company has submitted an ESG-related report to global stakeholders, comprehensively showcasing Henlius’ remarkable achievements and steadfast commitment across 5 key ESG pillars: Product, Talent, Environment, Society, and Corporate Governance.

Together for Health

Guided by patient needs, Henlius has consistently strengthened its R&D innovation. In 2024, R&D investment reached RMB1.8405 billion. To date, the company has successfully launched 6 products across about 50 countries and regions, benefiting over 750,000 patients.

The company has achieved broad coverage in high-incidence cancers such as lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, it is actively developing 5 orphan drugs and rare disease treatments across multiple therapeutic areas, including oncology, chronic inflammatory, and neurological diseases.

In terms of accessible healthcare, 5 of Henlius’ products have been included in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL). Its trastuzumab biosimilar HANQUYOU has been covered by public health insurance in countries including China, the UK, France, and Germany. The PD-1 inhibitor HANSIZHUANG has been included in 118 provincial or municipal-level government-backed supplemental insurance programs (Huiminbao), making high-quality biologics more accessible. Furthermore, through collaborations with international partners such as Abbott and SVAX, Henlius is expanding into emerging markets like Latin America and the Middle East, bringing Chinese innovation to the world and improving global health.

Together for Talent Growth

Upholding a people-centric talent philosophy, Henlius is dedicated to building a diverse talent ecosystem. In 2024, women made up 53% of the workforce. The company released Diversity Policy and launched an internal platform called “H-Voice” to promote open, transparent communication and feedback channels. Henlius emphasized employee growth and development, supporting 144 employees in obtaining professional certifications.

In 2024, the company invested RMB7.8445 million in environmental protection, up 26% year-over-year, underscoring its strong environmental commitment. Throughout the year, Henlius completed 230 lean improvement projects, achieving a 2.87% year-over-year reduction in comprehensive energy consumption, a 5.47% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, and a 5.93% reduction in water consumption—contributing to cleaner air and water. The Songjiang Facility successfully passed ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system certification, a testament to its environmental standards in line with international best practices.

Together for a Thriving Community

Driven by its “patient-centric” public welfare philosophy, Henlius carried out numerous social care initiatives in 2024, with total charity donations reaching RMB134.84 million. The company continued its Breast Cancer Rural Healthcare Outreach Program, and hosted public awareness activities for breast cancer and International Lung Cancer Awareness Month, including a charity cycling event to promote healthy lifestyles and holistic patient care.

In supply chain management, Henlius adopted BI systems to enhance transparency. 80% of its local suppliers are now introduced into its GMP system, resulting in approximately RMB55.65 million in procurement savings. This continuous effort drives cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and enhances the stability of the supply chain.

Together for Stronger Governance

Henlius builds its ESG strategy on a foundation of compliance and governance, supported by a four-tier ESG governance structure.
