December 16 2024 - 4:30PM
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced its
sixth consecutive inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability World
Index (DJSI World) and fifth consecutive inclusion in the Dow Jones
Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America). These
rankings highlight the company’s leadership in adopting responsible
practices that drive business resilience and improve our world.
The DJSI World Index is a leading benchmark for corporate
responsibility, recognizing the top 10 percent of the world’s most
sustainable companies in each industry. Regeneron stands out as one
of only six biotechnology firms globally included in the index.
Furthermore, this year, Regeneron’s score placed it in the top
1 percent of all rated biotechnology companies worldwide,
reflecting Regeneron’s significant advancements in Societal
Healthcare, Human Capital Management and Corporate Governance.
“Regeneron’s approach to corporate responsibility is grounded in
our company’s values and mission. We take a long-term view and
prioritize issues that matter most to our business and
stakeholders, which include patients, investors and colleagues
around the world,” said Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D.,
co-founder, Board co-Chair, President, and Chief Executive Officer
of Regeneron. “Guided by our commitment to ‘Do Well by Doing Good,’
we are broadening access to our medicines, maintaining the highest
ethical standards, and helping protect and restore the planet, in
turn helping millions of people and growing sustainably. Our
repeated inclusion in the DJSI World Index validates our approach
and the innovative efforts of our team.”
Regeneron’s responsibility strategy, which is intentionally and
inextricably linked to its business strategy, is focused on three
key areas: improving the lives of people with serious diseases,
fostering a culture of integrity and excellence, and building
sustainable communities.
The company’s annual Responsibility Report transparently details
progress toward its 2025 global goals, such as advancing a robust
clinical pipeline of ~40 investigational medicines, a new position
statement on responsible artificial intelligence practices, data on
global pay equity, efforts to enhance access to its Ebola treatment
in lower- and middle-income countries, and more. Regeneron is
positioned to meet or exceed its 2025 goals and is working to
define future targets that reflect its mission of bringing
important new medicines to people with serious diseases.
“Regeneron’s consistent and high rankings on prestigious
environmental, social and governance indices reflect progress
toward our 2025 goals and our dedication to leveraging science to
improve lives, our communities and the planet,” said Christina
Chan, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Regeneron. “We
are committed to setting new standards for responsible innovation
and growth that will carry both our industry and society
forward.”
Regeneron’s commitment to corporate responsibility is
demonstrated through its strong performance in top environmental,
social and governance (ESG) ratings and rankings. In addition to
being included in the DJSI World and North America indices,
Regeneron is also recognized in the Sustainalytics Risk Rating, the
ISS ESG Corporate Rating, and the FTSE4Good Index Series. Each of
these recognitions underscore Regeneron's continued efforts to
anticipate and address ESG risks and opportunities.
