SINGAPORE, Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Zuellig Pharma, a leading healthcare services provider in Asia, has been
awarded the Platinum Medal 2021 by sustainability ratings specialist EcoVadis
(https://ecovadis.com/). The award is the highest accolade to be awarded to a
company for its sustainability efforts and positions Zuellig Pharma in the top
1% of all assessed companies worldwide. This award also places the company in a
select group of winners including 150 global multinational companies, some
belonging to Fortune 500 companies.
Zuellig Pharma had steadily progressed from being awarded a Silver Medal in
2020 to a Gold Medal earlier in 2021, before clinching this latest Platinum
Medal. The medal was awarded after a rigorous assessment of Zuellig Pharma's
sustainability programme, covering 21 sustainability criteria across four
themes, including Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable
Procurement. The company's sustainability programme was evaluated on its
policies, actions put in place to support objectives and targets, as well as
results that were generated from the programme.
"Sustainability is deeply embedded in the way we run our organisation and
guides us in driving impact for our key stakeholders. This award, coming from
the world's most trusted business sustainability rating, is a major milestone
in our Sustainability journey and represents the great progress we have been
making in building a healthier future for Asia. We could not have achieved this
without the tireless dedication and support of every single employee in our
team, and our clients, customers, suppliers and partners," said John Graham,
CEO, Zuellig Pharma.
Zuellig Pharma is committed to the United Nations Global Compact and published
its first ever GRI-aligned Sustainability Report

year which includes a month-worth of activities to rally stakeholders around
its Sustainability Agenda.
