Advancing Climate Action, Governance Excellence, and Global Scientific Impact

PISCATAWAY, N.J., April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GenScript Biotech Corporation today announced its 2025 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, positioning the company at the forefront of responsible innovation in biotechnology and reinforcing its role as a trusted global partner powering the future of healthcare, science, and sustainability.

At a time when biotech is increasingly central to global health, and climate resilience, GenScript's ESG Report demonstrates how the company is embedding sustainability, governance, and societal impact into its growth strategy - not as an obligation, but as a competitive advantage.

"Sustainability is not adjacent to our strategy; it is embedded within it," said Sherry Shao, Rotating CEO of GenScript. "In 2025, we strengthened governance, accelerated climate action, advanced responsible supply chains, and continued building a diverse, high-performing global organization. As biotechnology reshapes the future, we are committed to doing so responsibly - creating long-term value for society, our partners, and our stakeholders."

FROM FRAMEWORK TO FORCE: ESG AS A STRATEGIC GROWTH ENGINE

GenScript's 2025 ESG Report moves beyond reporting, to demonstrate a system-level execution - structured around five core pillars - governance, workforce, environment, supply chain, and community - operating as integrated drivers of long-term value creation.

The company's ESG strategy is aligned with its mission 'to make people and nature healthier through biotechnology' and reflects a data-driven, globally consistent, and operationally embedded approach to sustainability.

Mit einem neuen Reallabor für Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) positioniert sich die USTP – University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten als einer der zentralen Standorte für angewandte KI-Forschung in Niederösterreich. Das Land unterstützt das Gesamtprojekt mit einem Volumen von 1,2 Millionen Euro mit rund 600.000 Euro und verankert das Labor in einem breiter angelegten KI-Forschungsschwerpunkt. Insgesamt stellt Niederösterreich laut Landesangaben 6,35 Millionen Euro für KI-Initiativen bereit, darunter mehr als 20 Studiengänge mit KI-Bezug, zwei Stiftungsprofessuren zu Gesundheit und Landwirtschaft sowie zusätzliche Forschungsförderungen.

Im KI-Reallabor laufen die leistungsstärksten KI-Anwendungen der Hochschule. Die Einrichtung kombiniert Infrastruktur, wissenschaftliche Expertise und Demonstrationsumgebungen und versteht sich als offener Begegnungsraum. Ziel ist es, Studierende, Forschende und Unternehmenspartner zusammenzubringen, um gemeinsam neue Anwendungen zu entwickeln – von der Erprobung neuester Modelle bis hin zu prototypischen Lösungen für Branchen wie Gesundheitswesen, Medien oder Klimaanpassung. Das Labor soll ausdrücklich nicht nur Forschungsumgebung sein, sondern reale Einsatzszenarien abbilden.

Das Konzept der Öffnung reicht über klassische Kooperationen mit der Industrie hinaus: Die Hochschule will Bürgerinnen und Bürger gezielt in den Dialog einbeziehen und Berührungsängste mit KI-Anwendungen abbauen. Laut USTP arbeiten derzeit mehr als 60 Forschende an rund 25 Projekten mit KI-Bezug, die von der Erkennung von Falschinformationen über digitale Humanismus-Projekte bis hin zu Anwendungen im Gesundheitsbereich reichen. Die Aktivitäten haben in den vergangenen Jahren zu mehreren Auszeichnungen geführt, darunter Preise beim Innovationspreis Niederösterreich.

Wie die Brücke von der Forschung zur Praxis konkret aussehen kann, zeigte die USTP auch bei der diesjährigen Social Artificial Intelligence Night (SAINT) des Departments Informatik und Security. Unter dem Motto „Beyond the Paper: Real-World in Action“ diskutierten Fachleute aus Wissenschaft, Industrie und der österreichischen KI-Community aktuelle Projekte und Einsatzfelder. Ein Schwerpunkt lag auf effizienten Sprachmodellen: In ihrer Keynote erläuterte Loubna Ben Allal, Machine-Learning-Engineer bei der Plattform Hugging Face, die Trainingsstrategien für kompakte Modelle wie SmolLM 3, die trotz geringerer Ressourcenanforderungen leistungsfähige Anwendungen ermöglichen sollen. Sie unterstrich die Rolle kleiner, effizienter Modelle für alltägliche Aufgaben wie Textklassifikation, Dokumentenzusammenfassungen oder sicheres Routing von Anfragen – insbesondere für Unternehmen, die aus Datenschutz- oder Sicherheitsgründen auf eigene, ressourcenschonende Systeme setzen.
