萬利集團與行業領袖舉辦首屆ESG論壇 在全球減碳浪潮下開創綠色航運解決方案

香港, 2026年2月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 亞太地區燃油供應服務商萬利集團(以下簡稱(「萬利」或(「集團」)於2月2日舉辦以「開拓新視野:以可持續燃料推動綠色航運」為主題的首屆環境、社會與治理(ESG)論壇。論壇匯聚航運高管、金融家、法律專家及冰川學家,共同探討應對航運業迫切減碳挑戰的方案。以下演講嘉賓陣容於論壇探討關鍵議題,分享獨特見解:萬利集團主席兼行政總裁謝威廉博士 萬利集團獨立董事、Chooi & Company合夥人、馬來西亞大律師公會前會長及LAWASIA執行委員會委員謝依玲女士國泰世華銀行資本市場暨顧問部協理劉名軒先生 極地探險家、冰川學家及政策顧問、Polar Research and Expedition Consultancy創辦人/冰川學家與遠征總監張偉賢博士 滙豐香港工商金融可持續金融高級經理張雯瑾女士是次論壇為思想領袖提供了一個互動及對話的平台,並透過演講嘉賓的專題講座探討若干關鍵議題,包括氣候變化對全球航運的影響、持續轉變的可持續發展相關法規,及創新綠色及可持續發展掛鈎融資解決方案。謝威廉博士在主題演講中表示:「全球航運業正處於關鍵時刻,迅速轉變的監管法規、緊張的地緣政治局勢、氣候挑戰及技術發展正以前所未有的速度重塑行業格局。因此,我們期望打造一個協作環境,讓持份者聚首一堂,分享見解並制定策略,以構建可持續未來。」在論壇上,謝依玲女士討論ESG如何成為保障地球健康的法律、經濟和道德必要條件,並強調政府、企業、法院及資本市場必須在全球層面上通力合作,將可持續發展願景轉化為可量化的實際行動。謝女士表示:「我們必須建立全球健康指標體系,以系統追踪環境影響、健康影響及風險對全人類的綜合作用。這不僅需要量化工具評估進展,更需制定戰略傳播方案以提升全球認知、推動全民教育。同時,必須將指標體系深度融入組織、國家及國際治理架構,在本土和全球層面同步實施。企業應踐行負責任的商業倫理,全面對標ESG準則,構建普適性的全球健康框架。唯有通過全球協同標準化,方能實現框架的系統化落地與長效運行。」劉名軒先生分享其對將ESG特徵融入融資策略的見解:「綠色貸款(Green Loans)在企業擁有明確、具體的投資計劃時尤其適合。可持續發展掛鈎貸款(Sustainability-Linked Loans,SLLs)遵循獨特的邏輯:其關鍵績效指標(KPIs)必須反映重大的可持續議題,並且可量化、追踪和獨立驗證。最重要的是,可持續性績效目標(Sustainability Performance Targets,SPTs)必須在『積極進取』和『實際可行』之間取得平衡,確保在公司的運營能力範圍內有機會實現目標。與綠色貸款不同,SLLs不限制所得款項只用於綠色活動上;相反,SLLs通過與績效掛鈎的金融機制展示可持續承諾。除了貸款和債券,幾乎所有負債型金融産品現在都可以加入綠色或可持續性元素。這種靈活性使得企業能夠將融資與可持續目標結合在一起,一方面保持運營的實際可行性,也能推動環境進步與金融創新。」張偉賢博士分享其對地球科學教育與倡導的堅定承諾,並探討航運業的負責任發展機遇:「航運行業的可持續發展機遇始於認識到北極不僅是一條捷徑,更是一個生機勃勃的家園和地球脆弱的氣候調節器。新開通的極地航綫雖能縮短運輸時間、降低燃油消耗,但其航經水域存在基礎設施匱乏、生態系統脆弱、原住民依賴海冰維繫文化與生存等挑戰。真正的領導力意味著要投資於更清潔的燃料、冰級船舶和強化搜救能力,同時嚴格限制黑碳排放(Black Carbon Reduction),並尊重國際極地法規。這也意味著傾聽在冰上安全旅行了數千年的地方知識,並將這種智慧與現代科學和衛星數據融合。如果行業將ESG原則嵌入到每一次北極航行中,這些新興航綫能夠成為可持續創新的典範,而非不受控制風險的新邊界。」張雯瑾女士從可持續金融角度分享航運業轉型趨勢:「監管不斷變化,應對氣候目標和實現可持續海洋運輸的策略亦需要與時並進。目前,創新方案也應運而生,船東群體正探索生物燃料、生物液化天然氣(bio-LNG)、生物沼氣等替代能源方案。清潔技術研發持續,有助推動全球航運業向可持續模式的系統性轉型。」論壇在與會人士熱烈交流中圓滿結束,除交流意見外,他們亦重申對推動航運業可持續發展的共同承諾。萬利集團在可持續發展領域的領導地位突出,顯示其在引領行業減碳與推行負責任實踐方面的不懈努力。集團亦透過參與EcoVadis永續性評級系統及支持多元化可持續船用燃料,持續推進航運業的有效轉型。展望未來,集團將繼續舉辦更多論壇,促進對話交流、創新及合作,從而建立更可持續的海洋生態系統。謝威廉博士補充:「以上不過是個開端,萬利將繼續為行業及客戶制定切實可行的減碳解決方案。」有關萬利集團及其可持續發展方案的更多訊息,請瀏覽 www.banle-intl.com。圖片說明1:謝威廉博士(中)向演講嘉賓及論壇成員致送紀念品以示感謝。圖片說明2:論壇成員就「開拓新視野:以可持續燃料推動綠色航運」主題進行討論。謝依玲女士(左)擔任主持人,引領討論並以論壇成員身份分享見解。圖片說明3 :與會人士在 ESG 論壇上聚集,展現了對航運業可持續實踐和創新解決方案的共同承諾。關於萬利集團萬利集團成立於 2015 年,以CBL International Limited(納斯達克:BANL)在納斯達克股票市場上市。我們致力於為客戶提供一站式燃油供應服務,被業內稱為燃油供應服務商。我們主要通過當地實體供貨商為船舶提供燃油加注服務,遍布比利時、中國、香港、印度、日本、韓國、馬來西亞、毛里裘斯、巴拿馬、菲律賓、新加坡、台灣、泰國、土耳其和越南,共覆蓋65個港口。集團積極推動可持續燃料,並已取得ISCC EU和ISCC Plus認證,以及EcoVadis銀獎。如欲瞭解更多信息,請到集團網站 https://www.banle-intl.com  瀏覽。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Banle Group Hosts Inaugural ESG Forum with Industry Leaders, Pioneering Green Shipping Solutions Amid Global Decarbonization Push

HONG KONG, Feb 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Banle Group (“Banle” or the “Group”), a leading Asia-Pacific marine fuel logistics provider, hosted its landmark inaugural ESG Forum — "Charting the New Horizon: Powering Green Shipping with Sustainable Fuels" — uniting top maritime executives, financiers, legal experts, and climate scientists to address the shipping industry's urgent decarbonization challenges on February 2.Speaker Lineup Tackles Critical IssuesThe forum featured exclusive insights from:Dr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of Banle GroupMs. Karen Cheah Yee-Lynn, Independent Director of Banle Group, Partner of Chooi & Company, Immediate Past President of the Malaysian Bar and EXCO Member of LAWASIAMr.Matt Liu Ming-Hsuan, SVP Capital Solutions, Cathay United BankDr.Wilson Cheung Wai-yin, Polar Explorer, Glaciologist and Policy Advisor, Polar Research and Expedition ConsultancyMs.Rebecca Zhang, Senior Manager Sustainable Finance, Commercial Banking, Hong Kong, HSBCThe forum served as a dynamic platform for thought leadership and dialogue, featuring a series of presentations addressing critical topics such as the impact of climate change on global shipping, evolving sustainability-related regulations, and innovative green and sustainability-linked financing solutions.Dr.Teck Lim Chia addressed in the keynote speech, “The global shipping industry stands at a pivotal moment. Rapid regulatory changes, geopolitical tensions, climate challenges, and technological advancements are reshaping the landscape at unprecedented speed. Yet, we are dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment where stakeholders can come together to share insights and develop strategies for a more sustainable future.”On the forum, Ms.Karen Cheah talked about how ESG has become a legal, economic, and moral imperative to safeguard planetary health – and how governments, businesses, courts, and capital markets at an international level must work together holistically to turn sustainability from aspiration into measurable action. She said, “We must establish planetary health metrics to track environmental, health, and risk impacts on all of us. This requires not only a measurement to gauge our progress but also a strategic plan to communicate these metrics, drive global awareness, and educate society at large. Moreover, we must integrate these metrics into governance structures at organizational, domestic, national, and international levels. We must engage in responsible business practices aligned with ESG components and ensure a robust framework for planetary health is implemented globally. Once we align collectively, we can systemize this framework for lasting impact.”Mr.Matt Liu shared his insight on integrating ESG features into financing strategies, “Green loans excel when companies have a clear, specific investment plan. Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLLs) operate under a distinct logic: their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) must reflect material sustainability issues, be measurable, traceable, and independently verifiable. Crucially, Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs) must balance ambition with feasibility, remaining achievable within the company’s operational capacity. Unlike green loans, SLLs do not restrict proceeds to green activities; instead, they demonstrate sustainability commitment through performance-linked financial mechanisms. Beyond loans and bonds, nearly all liability-style financial products can now integrate green or sustainability elements. This flexibility allows companies to align financing with sustainability goals while maintaining operational practicality, driving both environmental progress and financial innovation.”Dr.Wilson Cheung addressed his dedication to geoscientific education and advocacy, and talked about the responsible opportunities for the shipping industry, “Responsible opportunities in the shipping industry begin with recognising that the Arctic is not only a shortcut, but also a living homeland and a fragile climate regulator for the planet. New polar sea routes can reduce transit time and fuel use, yet they cross waters where infrastructure is scarce, ecosystems are vulnerable, and Indigenous communities depend on sea ice for culture and survival. True leadership means investing in cleaner fuels, ice-class vessels, and robust search-and-rescue capacity, while strictly limiting black carbon emissions and respecting international polar regulations. It also means listening to local knowledge that has guided safe travel on ice for thousands of years and integrating that wisdom with modern science and satellite data. If the industry embeds ESG principles into every Arctic voyage, these emerging routes can become a model of responsible innovation rather than a new frontier of unchecked risk.”Ms.Rebecca Zhang shared recent shipping industry transition trends from a sustainable finance perspective: “Regulations are constantly evolving, and so must global efforts to tackle climate change and make maritime transport more sustainable. Innovative solutions are emerging, and shipowners are exploring alternative energy options such as biofuels, bio-LNG, and bio-gas. The development of clean technologies is accelerating the industry’s systemic shift towards sustainability.”The forum concluded with a lively and interactive networking among participants, who exchanged ideas and reaffirmed their collective commitment to advancing sustainable practices throughout the shipping industry.Banle Group's sustainability leadership by example through its operational practices was prominently showcased, highlighting its ongoing efforts to spearhead industry decarbonization and responsible practices. Through initiatives like its participation in the EcoVadis rating system and advocacy for diverse sustainable marine fuels, Banle continues to drive meaningful transformation across the shipping sector.Looking ahead, the Banle Group remains committed to hosting future forums that foster dialogue, innovation, and collaboration for a more sustainable maritime ecosystem.Dr.Teck Lim Chia added: "This is just the beginning. Banle will continue driving practical decarbonization solutions for our industry and clients."For more information about Banle Group and its sustainability initiatives, please visit www.banle-intl.com.Photo Caption 1: Dr. Teck Lim Chia (centre) presented souvenirs to all speakers and panelists as a token of appreciation.Photo Caption 2: Panelists engaged in a discussion on the theme: “Charting the New Horizon: Powering Green Shipping with Sustainable Fuels”.

Everest Medicines Announces Exclusive License Agreement with Micot to Commercialize MT1013

Shanghai, January 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Shaanxi Micot Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (“Micot”) to commercialize MT1013, the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide that simultaneously targets the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) and the Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) receptor and is primarily developed with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) as its leading indication, in China and Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan).According to the agreement, Everest Medicines will pay Micot an upfront payment of RMB 200 million and potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to RMB 1,040 million. MT1013 has entered Phase III clinical trial in China and the relevant development expenses will be covered by Micot. The strategic collaboration is expected to complement Everest Medicines’ existing renal pipeline and drive operating synergies, further strengthen the Company’s commercial product portfolio, and solidify its leading position in renal and autoimmune diseases in Asia, which are key therapeutic areas of focus. The collaboration will also expand the Company’s nephrology portfolio from IgA nephropathy to a broader range of chronic kidney diseases (CKD).MT1013 is the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide internally developed by Micot. The Phase II data were presented orally and in a Late-Breaking session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Annual Meeting. MT1013 uniquely combines the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and the osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) receptor, addressing imbalances in parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and phosphate metabolism. This innovative dual mechanism allows MT1013 to control SHPT and related bone metabolism disorders at the source, and to actively promote bone formation and repair through direct activation of osteogenic pathways, representing a therapeutic innovation shift from indirect inhibition of bone resorption to active stimulation of bone formation.Clinical studies have demonstrated that MT1013 acts rapidly, with strong and durable efficacy, and has a favorable safety profile in patients with CKD on maintenance hemodialysis with SHPT. It has shown potential advantages over current therapies in achieving comprehensive endpoints, including control of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium, and phosphate levels, as well as improving calcium-phosphate balance and offering potential cardiovascular benefits. MT1013 is currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial in China for this patient population, with over 50% of the target enrollment already achieved. SHPT is one of the most common and serious complications in patients with CKD. It causes disturbances in calcium and phosphate metabolism, elevated PTH levels, bone disorders, and vascular calcification, which substantially increase the risk of fractures, cardiovascular events, and mortality. SHPT is therefore an important factor influencing outcomes and prognosis in patients with CKD. With the global prevalence of CKD continuing to rise, the unmet medical need for effective SHPT therapies is also growing. Data indicate that the global population of patients with CKD has increased from 905.2 million in 2019 to 1.0655 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed 1.2 billion by 2030 and 1.5 billion by 2035. Over the same period, the number of patients with SHPT has also continued to rise and is expected to reach approximately 189.9 million by 2030 and 221.7 million by 2035, highlighting a substantial and growing unmet medical need.“We are very pleased to collaborate with Micot. As the global burden of chronic kidney disease continues to rise, addressing patients’ unmet needs remains a top priority.,” said Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “MT1013 represents an innovative asset with the potential to expand treatment options for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Through this partnership, we aim to leverage our expertise in autoimmune-related kidney disorders while broadening our renal portfolio to include additional diseases, including glomerulonephritis and complications associated with dialysis. Looking ahead, we will jointly advance the development and commercialization of MT1013 to bring innovative treatment options to a broader population of patients with kidney disease.”“We are delighted to enter into this strategic collaboration with Everest Medicines. Everest’s deep expertise in nephrology and established commercialization capabilities make it an ideal partner to bring MT1013 to patients in China and beyond,” said Dr. Bing Wang, Founder, Chairman, and President of Micot. “MT1013 is a pivotal achievement of our peptide technology platform and a key milestone in our commitment to advancing innovative therapies for chronic diseases. Its unique dual-targeting mechanism has the potential to deliver meaningful advances in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. We look forward to working closely with Everest to accelerate clinical development and commercialization, address critical unmet medical needs, and advance care for patients with kidney disease.”MT1013 has completed its pivotal Phase II clinical trial, which demonstrated robust and sustained iPTH suppression in patients with SHPT undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. In head-to-head comparisons with etelcalcetide, MT1013 showed advantages in comprehensive disease management, achieving higher rates of simultaneous control of iPTH, serum calcium, and phosphate, as well as greater reductions in phosphate and the cardiovascular risk marker FGF-23. Over 52 weeks of treatment, MT1013 also resulted in significant improvements in bone mineral density and bone metabolism markers, supporting the potential clinical benefits of its unique dual-target mechanism in both disease management and bone health.Building on these positive results, the Phase II data were presented orally and in a Late-Breaking session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology Annual Meeting. MT1013 has now advanced into a confirmatory Phase III clinical trial in China with cinacalcet as the active comparator. The Phase III study has been launched across more than 100 sites nationwide, aiming to enroll approximately 424 patients, specifically targeting individuals with SHPT undergoing maintenance hemodialysis due to chronic kidney disease.About MT1013MT1013 is the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide that simultaneously targets the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) and the Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) receptor and is primarily developed with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism as its leading indication and is planned to expand into additional indications including Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) with Osteoporosis and SHPT not on Dialysis. MT1013 completed its Phase II clinical trial (MT1013-II-C01) for the treatment of SHPT in May 2025 and has entered a Phase III clinical trial using Cinacalcet as the active comparator.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative pharmaceutical products that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in global markets.

Everest Medicines Announces Exclusive License Agreement with Micot to Commercialize MT1013

Shanghai, January 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Shaanxi Micot Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (“Micot”) to commercialize MT1013, the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide that simultaneously targets the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) and the Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) receptor and is primarily developed with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) as its leading indication, in China and Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan).According to the agreement, Everest Medicines will pay Micot an upfront payment of RMB 200 million and potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to RMB 1,040 million. MT1013 has entered Phase III clinical trial in China and the relevant development expenses will be covered by Micot. The strategic collaboration is expected to complement Everest Medicines’ existing renal pipeline and drive operating synergies, further strengthen the Company’s commercial product portfolio, and solidify its leading position in renal and autoimmune diseases in Asia, which are key therapeutic areas of focus. The collaboration will also expand the Company’s nephrology portfolio from IgA nephropathy to a broader range of chronic kidney diseases (CKD).MT1013 is the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide internally developed by Micot. The Phase II data were presented orally and in a Late-Breaking session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Annual Meeting. MT1013 uniquely combines the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and the osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) receptor, addressing imbalances in parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and phosphate metabolism. This innovative dual mechanism allows MT1013 to control SHPT and related bone metabolism disorders at the source, and to actively promote bone formation and repair through direct activation of osteogenic pathways, representing a therapeutic innovation shift from indirect inhibition of bone resorption to active stimulation of bone formation.Clinical studies have demonstrated that MT1013 acts rapidly, with strong and durable efficacy, and has a favorable safety profile in patients with CKD on maintenance hemodialysis with SHPT. It has shown potential advantages over current therapies in achieving comprehensive endpoints, including control of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium, and phosphate levels, as well as improving calcium-phosphate balance and offering potential cardiovascular benefits. MT1013 is currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial in China for this patient population, with over 50% of the target enrollment already achieved. SHPT is one of the most common and serious complications in patients with CKD. It causes disturbances in calcium and phosphate metabolism, elevated PTH levels, bone disorders, and vascular calcification, which substantially increase the risk of fractures, cardiovascular events, and mortality. SHPT is therefore an important factor influencing outcomes and prognosis in patients with CKD. With the global prevalence of CKD continuing to rise, the unmet medical need for effective SHPT therapies is also growing. Data indicate that the global population of patients with CKD has increased from 905.2 million in 2019 to 1.0655 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed 1.2 billion by 2030 and 1.5 billion by 2035. Over the same period, the number of patients with SHPT has also continued to rise and is expected to reach approximately 189.9 million by 2030 and 221.7 million by 2035, highlighting a substantial and growing unmet medical need.“We are very pleased to collaborate with Micot. As the global burden of chronic kidney disease continues to rise, addressing patients’ unmet needs remains a top priority.,” said Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “MT1013 represents an innovative asset with the potential to expand treatment options for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Through this partnership, we aim to leverage our expertise in autoimmune-related kidney disorders while broadening our renal portfolio to include additional diseases, including glomerulonephritis and complications associated with dialysis. Looking ahead, we will jointly advance the development and commercialization of MT1013 to bring innovative treatment options to a broader population of patients with kidney disease.”“We are delighted to enter into this strategic collaboration with Everest Medicines. Everest’s deep expertise in nephrology and established commercialization capabilities make it an ideal partner to bring MT1013 to patients in China and beyond,” said Dr. Bing Wang, Founder, Chairman, and President of Micot. “MT1013 is a pivotal achievement of our peptide technology platform and a key milestone in our commitment to advancing innovative therapies for chronic diseases. Its unique dual-targeting mechanism has the potential to deliver meaningful advances in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. We look forward to working closely with Everest to accelerate clinical development and commercialization, address critical unmet medical needs, and advance care for patients with kidney disease.”MT1013 has completed its pivotal Phase II clinical trial, which demonstrated robust and sustained iPTH suppression in patients with SHPT undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. In head-to-head comparisons with etelcalcetide, MT1013 showed advantages in comprehensive disease management, achieving higher rates of simultaneous control of iPTH, serum calcium, and phosphate, as well as greater reductions in phosphate and the cardiovascular risk marker FGF-23. Over 52 weeks of treatment, MT1013 also resulted in significant improvements in bone mineral density and bone metabolism markers, supporting the potential clinical benefits of its unique dual-target mechanism in both disease management and bone health.Building on these positive results, the Phase II data were presented orally and in a Late-Breaking session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology Annual Meeting. MT1013 has now advanced into a confirmatory Phase III clinical trial in China with cinacalcet as the active comparator. The Phase III study has been launched across more than 100 sites nationwide, aiming to enroll approximately 424 patients, specifically targeting individuals with SHPT undergoing maintenance hemodialysis due to chronic kidney disease.About MT1013MT1013 is the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide that simultaneously targets the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) and the Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) receptor and is primarily developed with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism as its leading indication and is planned to expand into additional indications including Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) with Osteoporosis and SHPT not on Dialysis. MT1013 completed its Phase II clinical trial (MT1013-II-C01) for the treatment of SHPT in May 2025 and has entered a Phase III clinical trial using Cinacalcet as the active comparator.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative pharmaceutical products that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in global markets.
