Highlights
Climate Strategy
In 2022, we began building a strategic roadmap that focuses on mitigating our environmental impact. We are also working to assess how to best reduce GHG emissions across our value chain and plan to engage with our top suppliers. BeiGene is proud to have announced its first quantitative Scope 1 and 2 emissions goal in 2023 and remains on track to set a quantitative Scope 3 emissions goal by 2025.
Please find the details of our quantitative Scope 1 and Scope 2 goal here.
Environmental Performance
Our ability to rapidly develop and commercialize new medicines is helping us bring innovative, life-saving medicines to millions more patients globally. To meet the growing demand for our medicines, we are investing in additional laboratory space and manufacturing capacity, resulting in increased GHG emissions, water use, and waste creation. While our overall resource use is projected to increase, we are working to improve our efficiency, producing more product with fewer inputs per batch.

I entered the EHS field because of the important role it plays in protecting the environment, the health and safety of my colleagues, and the communities where we work. This year, I helped our Guangzhou and Suzhou manufacturing facilities achieve ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems and ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety. I really appreciate ISO’s focus on continuous improvement and how it actively engages employees in that process. By applying the core principle of PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Adjust), we are building our colleagues’ awareness, knowledge, and skills to drive an EHS culture where they take ownership of our performance and are empowered to make improvements.
