Sustainability

Our Governance

WuXi AppTec has established a business ethics management structure comprised of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, the Executive Committee, the Internal Audit Department and a compliance management task force from each business and operation unit. This framework is responsible for formulating business-ethics management strategies, continuously maintaining and improving the Company's business ethics management system and ensuring that the Company's operations and decision-making comply with ethics standards and regulatory requirements. Each business and operation unit takes the initiative to conduct business ethics risk management, promptly identifying, assessing, controlling, and mitigating potential risks. This provides information for the formulation and enhancement of the Company's overall business ethics management strategy and promotes a corporate culture of ethics and compliance.
