Green and low-carbon development is the foundation of high-quality growth, while social responsibility is the cornerstone of sustainable development. ESG has become a key element of enterprise development and a focal point for investment in capital markets. As more investors incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into their decision-making, a company's ESG performance directly influences its brand image, investor relations, and market competitiveness.
The “ESG Golden Bull Awards” feature eight categories aligned with international standards and Chinese characteristics. Imeik’s recognition as one of the “Top 50 Tech-Driven Enterprises” not only acknowledges the company’s outstanding contributions in technological innovation but also affirms its best practices and ongoing efforts in ESG development.
At the governance level, Imeik has demonstrated a firm commitment to sustainable development in response to global opportunities and challenges. Since 2021, the Board of Directors has established a dedicated Social Responsibility and Compliance Task Force to formulate and oversee the implementation of the company’s sustainability strategy. Through a top-down, three-tier ESG governance framework, Imeik has embedded ESG principles into its corporate culture, values, and business operations.
On the social front, as an industry leader, Imeik has continually advanced technological innovation, filling gaps in the domestic market and driving upgrades across the medical aesthetics industry. To support the development of local physicians and practitioners and promote healthy industry growth, Imeik launched the “Quanxuan Classroom” education platform, which empowers the aesthetic medicine ecosystem with knowledge, safety, and accessibility.
On the environmental front, Imeik is a pioneer in green manufacturing and has been recognized as a “National Green Factory”. The company has implemented rooftop photovoltaic systems and solar water heating systems at its facilities. In 2022, its carbon emission intensity was reduced by 12.3% compared to 2021, and energy consumption per unit of product fell by 11.73%.
Imeik’s sustained exploration and investment in sustainable development have received increasing recognition.
