WuXi Biologics ('WuXi Bio') (2269. HK), a leading global Contract Research, Development and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), received the 2022 'Prime Employers for Women' silver award at a recent ceremony held by sHero, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and growth of women.

The company was cited for its excellent performance in creating greater Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace.

WuXi Biologics was also profiled in the 2022 DE&I China Best Practices Guide ('the Guide') for its efforts in promoting DE&I across the company through enriching initiatives and activities. The Guide - jointly published by sHero and Michael Page, a leading professional recruitment agency - features best-practice cases of 30 well-known global companies from various industries such as Ford and SONY Group to help more organizations rise to a greater level of diversity, equity and inclusion in their own work environments.

Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, said, 'DE&I, as a vital component of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance), is of great importance to drive forward the continuous innovation and sustainable development of WuXi Biologics. We are very honored to receive the silver award of 'Prime Employers for Women' in 2022 and selected for inclusion in the Guide, which we view as a testimony to the success of our DE&I efforts and ESG strategy. We have integrated DE&I into our PROUD culture to encourage employees to constantly pursue career growth and success. With DE&I and ESG initiatives as a cornerstone of our global business development, and rooted in our mission and vision, we will continue to enable our partners to benefit patients worldwide.'

WuXi Biologics views Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibilities as an integral component of our ethos and business strategy. The company is committed to creating a safe, harmonious, and inclusive working environment and an equitable workplace.
