Double Materiality Assessment
As a key step in the management of sustainability matters and disclosure preparation Yifeng Pharmacy conducted double materiality assessment of ESG issues in 2024. We have developed an assessment process scoring methodology
and ranking model based on the Guidelines for Sustainability Report as well as methodological interpretation and coaching from experts to assess our environmental and social impacts and our exposure to sustainability-related
financial risks and opportunities.Assessment Method and Assumptions
Based on our materiality assessment results from previous years and considering the complexity of quantifying the sustainability-related impacts risks and opportunities in our business our double materiality assessment this year was
based on qualitative considerations supplemented by quantitative assessment where practicable. In the future we will continue to pay attention to the updates of the SSE Guidelines for Sustainability Report improve our double
materiality assessment process and methodology and continue to prudently apply quantitative assessment tools to reasonably obtain the concerns and views of our stakeholders so as to provide a scientific basis for our sustainability
