INTCO Medical Crowned “2025 ESG Model Enterprise” at Golden Antelope Awards

At the 2025 ESG & High-Quality Development Innovation Forum in Beijing, INTCO Medical—the world’s largest latex-free disposable gloves manufacturer—earned the prestigious “ESG Model Enterprise” title by the Golden Antelope Awards. This recognition celebrates INTCO Medical’s holistic commitment to sustainability, innovation, and ethical governance across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. As China’s ESG landscape evolves from compliance to value creation, INTCO Medical exemplifies how industry leaders can drive substantive change through actionable strategies.

Innovation Fueling Sustainable Healthcare Solutions

INTCO Medical powers its R&D engine across medical consumables, rehabilitation equipment, and physiotherapy care. In 2024, the company invested ¥398 million in innovation, launching 55 new products—a 197% YoY increase. Breakthroughs like energy-efficient nitrile gloves production lines and AI-optimised manufacturing processes demonstrate how automation reduces waste while scaling output. For global healthcare providers, this translates to reliable access to hypoallergenic synthetic latex gloves, chemical-resistant nitrile gloves, and eco-conscious TPE gloves that align with net-zero goals.

Decarbonising Hand Protection: Science-Backed Targets

As the foremost latex-free disposable gloves manufacturer, INTCO Medical embeds sustainability in its DNA. The company’s aggressive climate roadmap aims to: Reduce per-glove carbon emissions by 25% by 2030 (vs. 2022 baseline). Achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2050.

Progress is tangible: 2024 saw a 20.7% reduction in glove carbon footprint, 3.538 million kWh of solar energy generated, and 77.73% more products packed in FSC-certified materials. These metrics reflect INTCO Medical’s pledge to deliver sustainable disposable gloves without compromising protection, proving that planetary health and human health are inseparable.

Ethical Operations: From Supply Chains to Social Impact

INTCO Medical’s ESG excellence extends beyond manufacturing. The company enforces rigorous supplier standards, conducting 198 training sessions and 268 technical workshops for 1,100 vendors in 2024 alone. This “green ripple effect” strengthens industry-wide resilience while ensuring raw materials for medical-grade nitrile gloves meet ethical benchmarks. Socially, INTCO Medical champions inclusive healthcare through accessible mobility devices and philanthropic initiatives, donating ¥75.82 million to communities since 2024. Internally, it fosters talent development via competitive compensation and safe workplaces, recognising that its 12,000+ employees are catalysts for change.

Governance: Integrity as a Competitive Advantage

INTCO Medical’s modern “Three Committees & One Management” governance framework safeguards stakeholder interests while embedding ESG in decision-making. With zero tolerance for corruption, robust cybersecurity protocols, and transparent disclosure practices, the company sets new industry standards for accountability. This infrastructure enables the trusted production of OEM/ODM glove solutions for global partners, from hospital networks to disaster relief agencies.

Why This Distinction Matters Globally

The Golden Antelope Award validates INTCO Medical’s unique dual impact:

Planetary Stewardship: Every latex-free exam glove produced uses 30% less water and 22% less energy than industry averages, thanks to closed-loop systems integrating INTCO Recycling technologies.

Market Transformation: By proving that sustainable medical consumables are commercially viable (e.g., biodegradable gloves with 99.6% performance parity), INTCO Medical accelerates sector-wide adoption.
