一个CDMO的可持续“自我修养”

As environmental consciousness grows worldwide, sustainability is becoming a powerful force across all industries, including nutritional health foods. This shift reflects a broader transformation rooted in the pursuit of harmony among personal well-being, ecological balance, and social progress.

SIRIO, a dedicated promoter of sustainability in the nutritional health food sector, upholds the vision of “Green First, for a Sustainable Future”. Alongside its efforts to advance premium product development and manufacturing, the company actively supports the industry’s transition toward greener practices as part of its contribution to global health and sustainable development.

In support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SIRIO has carried out comprehensive and focused sustainability efforts aligned with six specific targets.

Even the smallest actions can drive meaningful change, with each step contributing to a greener path for the industry.

01 Green Manufacturing for Environmental Responsibility

Guided by its environmental protection approach of enhancing efficiency, reducing consumption, saving energy, and cutting pollution, SIRIO integrates these values across the entire manufacturing process. By streamlining operations and introducing advanced technologies and equipment, the company improves resource efficiency and minimizes waste, delivering both cost benefits and environmental gains.

Last December, SIRIO’s Shantou Industrial Park was recognized as a national “Green Factory” for its outstanding environmental performance and commitment to sustainable development. As one of the few enterprises in the industry to receive this distinction, the recognition affirms SIRIO’s long-standing green development strategy and further motivates the company to expand its sustainability efforts and contribute to high-quality growth across the sector.

02 Plant-Based Softgels for Sustainable Wellness Solutions

As sustainability becomes a global priority, consumers are placing greater emphasis on health and nutrition. In 2014, SIRIO led the way by launching its plant-based softgel technology, a breakthrough designed to reduce the use of animal-derived ingredients and meet the growing demand for clean-label, eco-conscious products.

SIRIO has received product carbon footprint certification for its Plantegrity^®Fish Oil Gummy Candy and Neuriva^®Fish Oil Softgel, following successful verification by Bureau Veritas in accordance with ISO 14067:2018. The Plantegrity^®Fish Oil Gummy Candy achieved a significant 7% reduction in carbon emissions.*

*The use of sustainable plant-based ingredients has resulted in a 7% reduction in carbon emissions compared to Neuriva^®Fish Oil Softgels.

03 Sustainable Packaging for a Circular Future

In product packaging, SIRIO offers one-stop, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions. Through strategic cost control, the company ensures that clients can benefit from sustainable packaging while effectively managing costs.

At the recent HNC Health & Nutrition Expo, SIRIO introduced a fresh lineup of sustainable packaging for gummies and softgels, featuring recyclable RPET bottles, eco-friendly paper pouches, and innovative honeycomb gift boxes. Designed to minimize plastic use and encourage circularity, each package reflects a thoughtful step toward a healthier planet.

04 Sustainable Booth Design for a Greener Brand Presence

In its routine operations, SIRIO actively pursues cost efficiency and performance optimization while embedding sustainable development principles across all business functions.

During this year’s global and domestic brand activations, SIRIO established ESG-themed display areas and utilized environmentally responsible materials, including biodegradable, formaldehyde-free, and reusable options, to construct its booths. This initiative served to demonstrate the company’s sustainability achievements while fostering broader engagement with ESG issues.

05 Green Values for a Shared ESG Future

At the 11th SIRIO Health Forum, themed “Leap into Impact” and held last month, SIRIO had the honor of inviting Ms. Jiang Nanqing, former official at the United Nations Environment Programme, member of the Global and China Sustainable Development Councils at Procter & Gamble, member of Alibaba Group’s Carbon Neutrality Expert Committee, and President of the Qinghe Institute for Circular Economy and Carbon Neutrality. She delivered a thought-provoking and forward-looking keynote on ESG development, offering valuable insights to all participants.

At this event, SIRIO joined partners and industry peers to share practical experiences and insights on sustainability, with the goal of advancing the adoption and deeper integration of ESG principles in the nutritional health food industry. Together, we are working toward a greener, healthier, and more prosperous future.

Sustainability has become a foundational pillar of modern enterprise and a key catalyst in advancing the global health industry. Committed to this path, SIRIO continues to drive progress through innovation, supporting the sector’s high-quality growth and contributing to a greener, healthier future for all.
