Yatsen Group Releases 2025 ESG Report: The Vision of a World-Class Beauty Innovation Pioneer Through Long-Term Value

GUANGZHOU, China , Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yatsen Group (NYSE: YSG ), a world-class beauty innovation pioneer, recently released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report , systematically disclosing the Company's annual practices and achievements across five key pillars: technological innovation, green development, scientific governance, talent development, and social impact.

For Yatsen Group, sustainable development has never been an add-on outside our core business operations; it is an integral component of creating long-term value.

In 2025, Yatsen released China's first comprehensive Beauty Industry report , the "Yatsen Group Beauty Innovation White Paper" offering a thorough overview of its achievements in R&D investments, technical verification, and research collaboration between industry, academic and researchers.

R&D Capability: Annual R&D investment reached RMB 137 million (3.2% of total revenue), supported by 153 R&D personnel. The company accumulated 269 patent applications (240 authorized) and completed filings for two new cosmetic raw ingredients.

Brand Breakthroughs: Key innovations include Perfect Diary's 3rd-generation "Bio-film" Biotec™ technology and DR.WU's Nanoxinfuse™ delivery technology.

Academic Acclaim: Yatsen presented 11 research papers at the 35th IFSCC Congress—more than triple its 2024 total.

Alongside R&D, green transformation is another crucial path in Yatsen's commitment to long-term value, rooted in the belief that true growth must coexist with environmental stewardship.

Sustainable Packaging: Yatsen contributed to the group standard "Sustainable Packaging Guidelines-Cosmetics". Brands like Galénic and EVE LOM led implementations. 100% of product folding cartons utilize FSC-certified paper and soy-based inks; refillable designs cut total packaging volume. Some Galénic products sold in China use 100% biodegradable bio-based paper-plastic materials to replace conventional plastics for product boxes. EVE LOM achieved 100% recyclable or recycled outer packaging across all lines and 100% plant-based biodegradable single-use capsule packaging. DR.WU and Perfect Diary also advanced lightweight packaging initiatives to cut resource consumption.

Climate Action: Yatsen advanced its carbon neutrality goals and milestone reduction pathways across risk assessment, operational efficiency, supply chain alignment, and product carbon footprint management. In 2025, greenhouse gas emissions from direct operations fell by 35.74% year-over-year. The core manufacturing hub, Yatsen Biotechnology, expanded photovoltaic installations and optimized its energy mix—achieving a 41% renewable energy utilization rate and 100% product carbon footprint assessment coverage. This solid progress reflects Yatsen's understanding of "long-term value"—not the pursuit of immediate results, but making green transformation part of sustainable growth.

In response to the integration of AI and digital technologies, Yatsen reinforced its board-led ESG governance architecture, clearly defining accountability boundaries and data security protocols for emerging tech applications. Business ethics, risk management, information security, and regulatory compliance are integrated into all operational decisions.
