– Report Highlights Accomplishments in 2022 and Outlines Material Topics Through the Concept of Shared Value –
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Schrödinger, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDGR), whose physics-based computational platform is transforming the way therapeutics and materials are discovered, today published its inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report. The report highlights the company’s vision and approach to corporate sustainability, summarizes the company’s 2022 achievements and discloses key data about its corporate sustainability efforts in alignment with GRI and SASB reporting standards.
“At Schrödinger, a focus on environmental, social and governance principles has always been core to our mission of improving human health and quality of life,” commented Ramy Farid, Ph.D., chief executive officer at Schrödinger. “Our inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report is a major milestone in formalizing our strategy around key ESG matters that are important to us as well as our stakeholders, and we look forward to building upon this foundation in the coming years.”
Schrödinger’s Corporate Sustainability Report is grounded in the company’s newly developed corporate sustainability framework called Value², which represents the company’s core sustainability philosophy that building value for Schrödinger generates value for the world. The key topics presented in the Sustainability Report are presented through the dual lens of their impact on and beyond Schrödinger.
“The material topics discussed in our inaugural report represent the culmination of a comprehensive research process known as a double materiality assessment. Our assessment, completed in partnership with internal and external stakeholders, examined more than 30 ESG topics and subsequently narrowed the list down to 12 material ESG topics focused on areas most critical to our business and our stakeholders,” said Alex Schuman, head of corporate sustainability at Schrödinger. “We now have a corporate sustainability roadmap that allows us to identify opportunities aligned with our mission and our key business objectives.”
The release of Schrödinger’s inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report is part of its ongoing commitment to providing transparency and accountability on matters related to corporate sustainability. Schrödinger intends to release annual updates to ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed about the company’s progress against its corporate sustainability objectives.
