The annual SEA A List recognizes top-scoring companies that demonstrate leadership in supply chain engagement on climate-related issues and make impactful contributions in the transition toward a net-zero sustainable economy. CDP is recognized as the global standard for corporate environmental reporting, and its annual ratings are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions. In 2024, nearly 25,000 companies-representing two-thirds of the global market value-reported environmental data through CDP. WuXi Biologics was named to the CDP’s SEA A List for superior performance regarding supplier climate engagement in terms of governance and business strategy, targets, Scope 3 emissions reporting, and risk management process. The company has also been included in CDP’s Water Security A List and has received Climate Change Leadership-level scores from the organization for two consecutive years. Committed to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), WuXi Biologics has adopted an integrated strategy to tackle climate change with measurable targets and a refined roadmap. The company realized a 30% intensity reduction of GHG (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emissions in 2024 from the base year 2020, and aims to achieve net-zero emissions from overall operations by 2050. While diligently pursuing its own climate goals, the company also actively engages with suppliers-through comprehensive sustainable supply chain management, Scope 3 data disclosure and target tracking-to help achieve positive impacts across the entire value chain. Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics and Chairman of its ESG Committee, commented, “We are very pleased to be named to the CDP’s A List for its Supplier Engagement Assessment, an acknowledgement that further inspires our steadfast dedication to driving sustainability.
