Luye Pharma (02186) has published its 10th Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, covering operations from 1 January – 31 December 2025. Key take-aways are as follows:
Strategic ESG Governance
• The Board retains ultimate oversight, supported by a dedicated ESG Committee and an ESG Working Group. The framework now mandates at least one formal committee meeting a year and annual self-assessments.
• Three material themes were highlighted for 2025: environmental stewardship (chemicals, emissions, water), labour responsibility (safety, remuneration, training) and operational integrity (R&D, quality, compliance).
Environmental Performance
• Total Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse-gas emissions reached 74,412.14 tons CO₂-equivalent, a 9.94 % increase versus 2024, driven mainly by a 60.46 % rise in purchased steam. Emissions intensity inched up to 0.12 t/CO₂e per RMB 10,000 of revenue.
• Direct energy use declined 11.96 % to 35,897.36 MWh, while indirect energy consumption climbed 20.91 % to 143,377.81 MWh, reflecting expanded manufacturing activity.
• Water consumption edged down 2.53 % to 1.36 million m³. Re-use initiatives at Beijing WPU and Shandong sites saved roughly 13,169 m³ of tap water.
• Hazardous waste generated at production bases rose to 1,989.02 tons (intensity: 0.003 t/RMB 10,000). Non-hazardous waste totalled 187.67 tons, with an 84.25 % recycling rate.
• All Chinese production bases, plus key European facilities, hold ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications; Beijing WPU and Nanjing bases converted to low-GWP refrigerants (R-404A, R-410A, R-407C).
Social Metrics
• Headcount stood at 5,221 (2,464 male; 2,757 female). Mainland China accounts for 93 % of staff.
• Overall staff turnover in China was 10 %; female turnover was below male at 8 % versus 11 %.
• Training reached 62.6 % of men and 60.7 % of women, averaging 56.32 and 57.76 hours respectively.
• No work-related fatalities occurred; lost workdays due to injury totalled 293.5.
• Zero incidents of child or forced labour were identified; full social insurance and housing fund contributions were maintained.
Operational Integrity & Product Responsibility
• R&D pipeline comprises 26 China and 12 overseas candidates; one product gained new market approval in 2025.
• No product recalls were enacted; 52 quality or service complaints were recorded and resolved.
• The company updated two core compliance policies and reported no corruption cases.
• Supplier pool reached 14,502 entities (14,011 domestic; 491 overseas); sustainability criteria now embedded in onboarding and audit processes.
Forward ESG Commitments
• Targets include 100 % compliant hazardous-waste disposal, water-saving projects, and energy-efficiency gains aligned with China’s “dual-carbon” goals.
• Climate scenario analysis, quantitative Scope 3 accounting and an internal carbon-pricing framework are under evaluation for future disclosure.
