Bloomberg Green’s 2026 ESG List: A Global Benchmark for Sustainability Excellence

Bloomberg Green’s annual ESG “Most-Noteworthy List” is renowned for its rigorous evaluation criteria, which assess a company’s performance across environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. Unlike other industry rankings, it focuses on substantive impact rather than superficial compliance, making it a trusted reference for investors, partners, and stakeholders worldwide. This year, the list emphasized enterprises that integrate ESG into core business strategies—an area where INTCO Medical has demonstrated exceptional leadership. 

INTCO Medical’s ESG Journey: Strategy, Action, and Transparency

INTCO Medical has embedded ESG principles into every aspect of its operations, starting with consistent transparency through annual ESG reporting. For years, the company has published detailed ESG reports that disclose key metrics, from carbon emissions to social contribution—a practice that aligns with global standards and builds trust with stakeholders. 

In environmental management, INTCO Medical has implemented a comprehensive system to enhance resource efficiency and promote low-carbon manufacturing. Beyond adhering to international standards like ISO 14001, the company has taken proactive steps to reduce its carbon footprint. A standout initiative is the wind power project at its Anhui production base: launched in 2024 and operational in 2025, this project complements the company’s existing solar energy applications, further increasing the share of clean energy in its production process. This move not only strengthens INTCO Medical’s green manufacturing system but also provides a replicable model for other medical consumables manufacturers seeking to adopt renewable energy.

In corporate governance, INTCO Medical maintains a strict and transparent structure, with a “three committees and one management layer” system to safeguard shareholder rights, prevent corruption, and ensure information security. The company’s zero-tolerance policy toward unethical practices and robust risk management framework have earned it high ratings from global institutions, including an MSCI ESG rating of BBB and a Wind ESG rating of A.

Green Innovation in Core Product Lines

As the largest latex-free nitrile gloves manufacturer, INTCO Medical has extended its sustainability focus to its flagship products. Its disposable nitrile gloves, not only meet global safety standards (such as FDA 510(K) and EU CE) but also incorporate eco-friendly designs. For instance, the company’s BIODEGRADABLE Nitrile Exam Gloves combine reliable protection with environmental degradation, addressing the issue of plastic waste in the medical industry. 

Social Responsibility: Empowering Communities and Employees

INTCO Medical’s ESG commitment extends beyond environmental efforts to social impact. The company has invested heavily in community welfare, supporting initiatives such as medical aid, education for underprivileged students, and disability assistance. Internally, INTCO Medical prioritises employee well-being, offering a “dual-track promotion system” (management and technical) and 100% training coverage. Activities like team building, holiday events, and mental health support hotlines contribute to a positive workplace culture, with employee satisfaction rates consistently high. 

Global Influence and Future Commitments

The Bloomberg Green 2026 award marks a significant milestone in INTCO Medical’s global ESG journey, reflecting its growing influence as a sustainable leader in the medical industry. With a presence in over 150 countries and regions, the company leverages its global network to promote sustainable practices across the supply chain.

Looking ahead, INTCO Medical plans to increase investment in technological innovation, further integrate AI and automation into production to reduce energy consumption, and expand its clean energy projects (including wind and solar) to achieve its 2030 target of reducing per-glove carbon emissions by 25% (based on 2022 levels) and its 2050 goal of carbon neutrality in its operations.

As the largest latex-free nitrile gloves manufacturer, INTCO Medical is not only redefining excellence in medical consumables but also leading the industry toward a more sustainable and responsible future.
