WuXi Biologics (2269.HK) has been awarded the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating's Platinum Medal, ranking in the top 1% of over 100,000 companies evaluated. The company has been recognized for outstanding performance across Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, making it a trusted partner by global clients for its strong sustainability commitment.

WuXi Biologics (2269.HK) has completed its first end-to-end continuous drug substance (DS) manufacturing from perfused cell culture to final UF/DF pool at pilot scale. The company achieved an average daily productivity of 6 g/L/day for a mAb molecule during the 18-day production phase, leading to a significantly high accumulated volumetric productivity at 105 g/L in the 25-day continuous cell culture process. The total yield calculated from Protein A capture to UF/DF reached nearly 80%, delivering over 3 kg protein from 40 L working volume. WuXi Biologics' end-to-end continuous DS manufacturing enabled by WuXiUPTM allows a 1,000 L disposable bioreactor to produce more than 60 kg of mAb per batch and approximately 800 kg per year, achieving productivity comparable to a traditional 10,000-20,000L bioreactor. The company aims to expedite biologics development, reduce the cost of goods (COGS) of commercial products, and increase operational flexibility due to minimal facility footprint utilization.

WuXi Biologics (2269.HK) has received an AAA rating from MSCI ESG Ratings, signaling outstanding performance in key ESG issues like climate change, corporate governance, talent development, and product safety & quality.

Construction of the 467,500-square-foot greenfield facility began in December 2018 and operations started in December 2021, creating over 6,000 construction jobs and more than 500 highly skilled jobs in the region.

The facility received its first GMP certificate from the Irish Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) just nine months after starting operations. In line with WuXi Biologics' ESG strategy, the site incorporates sustainable concepts, including 100% renewable energy power supply. This marks the second FOYA recognition for WuXi Biologics, following an Honorable Mention in 2014 for its facility in Wuxi city, China.
