HONG KONG, July 11, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - On 3 July 2014, Southern Weekly announced the results of "2014 Survey on CSR of China's Listed Pharmaceutical & Food Companies". Fosun Pharma (Stock code: 1260.HK), with a total score of 79.55, ranked first in the List of Survey on Corporate Social Responsibility of China's Listed Pharmaceutical Companies. As noted, the "2014 Survey on CSR of China's Listed Pharmaceutical & Food Companies" was held by Southern Weekly from March to June 2014 for a study of China's listed companies in pharmaceutical and food industries. The event aimed to foster consensus over the development of corporate social responsibility of enterprises operating in the health industry and establish indicators and concepts that are generally accepted in the industry. It was also intended to call for joint efforts to promote "corporate social responsibility" and thus turn the vision of the event, i.e. "better health comes from greater responsibility" into reality.

Drawing upon nearly eight years of experience in CSR survey, Southern Weekly took full account of the features of pharmaceutical and food industries and set industry-specific indicators in addition to the standard CSR indicators. These industry-specific indicators focus on whether the manufacture is strictly GMP-compliant, whether a monitoring system is set up for adverse reaction and whether a recall system is established and implemented. These indicators also require enterprises to pass the new HACCP certification and focus on corporate responsibility towards consumers, investors, employees, communities, government and economy and corporate information disclosure responsibility. On such basis, this survey examined the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility of China's listed companies in pharmaceutical and food industries.

Fosun Pharma has upheld the principle of sustainable development and has proactively undertaken its social responsibility. With progress made in terms of economic responsibility, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, staff development and community welfare, the Company met the consolidated CSR performance indicators with remarkable success.
