Helping achieve the double carbon targets while working towards a green future

Guided by the strategic goal to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, China's economic and social development has entered a stage of comprehensive green transformation, and energy transition has become an important engine for achieving the double carbon targets. Always adhering to the sustainable development approach, Hansoh Pharma has taken active response measures and leveraged its own strength in technological innovation to fulfil its environmental commitments in multiple dimensions.

In addition, Hansoh Pharma has extended its environmental requirements to its supplier management and evaluation criteria, and on the basis built a green supply chain in an all-round way. Up to now, all of Hansoh Pharma's energy management initiatives have achieved positive results, reinforcing the company's determination and goal towards a green, energy-efficient and low-carbon future.
