Abstract

There is a growing global awareness of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. The biopharmaceutical industry is an important field that affects human health and well-being, and its sustainable development is now the industry’s focus. Based on the current state of the green development of China’s biopharmaceutical industry, the article proposes suggestions and paths for promoting the industry to better fulfill its social responsibilities and protect the environment while pursuing economic benefits. By doing so, the industry can make a greater contribution to global public health and become an important factor in promoting human health and social prosperity.
