上海，2024年12月30日 - 药明康德近日宣布公司入选2024年道琼斯可持续发展世界指数（DJSI World）和新兴市场指数（DJSI Emerging Markets），这也是药明康德第四年入选道琼斯可持续发展指数（DJSI），充分彰显了公司对推动可持续发展和践行负责任商业实践的坚定承诺。

DJSI是全球公认的可持续发展参考标准，通过评估企业长期的经济、环境和社会效益，衡量企业的可持续发展表现。对于将可持续发展纳入综合考量的投资者而言，该指数也是一项重要的参考依据。其中，道琼斯可持续发展世界指数代表了标普全球BMI指数中最大的2500家公司中排名前10%的公司，而新兴市场指数选取了20个新兴市场中800 家最大公司的前10%的公司。

入选DJSI的关键因素是企业在标普全球企业可持续发展评估（S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, CSA）中的评分。2024年11月，药明康德在2024年CSA评估中获得行业最高分，位列全球“生命科学工具与服务”领域第一。特别值得一提的是，药明康德是该行业领域里入选世界指数的四家公司之一，同时也是唯一一家入选新兴市场指数的公司。

“很荣幸药明康德因在可持续发展和赋能创新方面的杰出表现，获得道琼斯可持续发展指数的认可，并再次同时入选道琼斯可持续发展世界指数和新兴市场指数。”药明康德副董事长兼ESG委员会主席胡正国先生表示，“我们将继续坚持可持续发展战略，履行企业社会责任，助力合作伙伴加速新药和突破性疗法的问世，造福全球病患。”

作为创新的赋能者、客户信赖的合作伙伴以及全球健康产业的贡献者，药明康德将ESG理念融入公司战略和运营的方方面面。2024年，药明康德在CSA中获得行业最高分，位列全球“生命科学工具与服务”领域第一；同年，药明康德连续第四年被MSCI评为ESG AA级，在EcoVadis企业社会责任评级中获得“金牌”认证；2023和2024年，公司连续两年入选标普全球可持续发展年鉴和富时罗素社会责任指数系列，并同时获评Sustainalytics“行业最高评级”和“区域最高评级”企业；2024年，公司加入了“联合国全球契约组织”（United Nations Global Compact，UNGC），承诺支持全球契约十项原则；2023年，公司加入“科学碳目标倡议”（Science Based Targets initiative，SBTi）以减少碳排放。药明康德出色的ESG表现也受到了CDP、ISS等全球ESG评级机构的高度认可。
