Medincell (Euronext Paris: MEDCL), a commercial- and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical licensing company developing long-acting injectable treatments, today announces that ISS has upgraded the company’s ESG rating from C+ to B. Medincell is ranked within the first decile of the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector, benefits from ISS ESG Prime Status, and achieves a very high level of ESG disclosure transparency.
This updated rating is based on ISS ESG’s independent assessment of multiple extra‑financial criteria, including:
- Social factors and product responsibility,
- Governance and business ethics requirements as defined within the ISS ESG methodology, and
- Selected environmental indicators monitored and reported by Medincell.
ISS ESG’s assessment is based on publicly available information and authorized exchanges with Medincell. ISS’ methodology and rating definitions remain proprietary. For further information:
Christophe Douat, CEO of Medincell, said: “We acknowledge this updated assessment and remain committed to advancing our ESG practices in line with our operational responsibilities and long‑term corporate strategy. ESG evaluations are increasingly integrated into the investment frameworks used by many institutional investors. The improvement of our ISS ESG corporate rating may enhance the clarity and comparability of our extra‑financial performance within these frameworks, helping stakeholders better assess how our practices align with their own risk‑management and sustainability criteria.”
About Medincell
Medincell is a clinical- and commercial-stage biopharmaceutical licensing company developing long-acting injectable treatments across multiple therapeutic areas. Our innovative treatments are designed to ensure adherence to medical prescriptions, enhance the effectiveness and accessibility of medicines, and reduce their environmental impact.
These treatments combine active pharmaceutical ingredients with our proprietary BEPO® / BEPO® Star technologies, which enables controlled drug delivery at therapeutic levels for several days, weeks, or months following a subcutaneous or local injection of a small, fully bioresorbable deposit.
Risperidone LAI was the first treatment based on BEPO® technology to receive FDA approval, initially for schizophrenia in April 2023, and subsequently for Bipolar I Disorder in October 2025. It is marketed in the United States by Teva under the brand name UZEDY® . Medincell’s risperidone LAI was also approved for schizophrenia in Canada and South Korea in 2025. A New Drug Application (NDA) for Olanzapine LAI as a once-monthly treatment for schizophrenia in adults was submitted to the U.S. FDA in December 2025 by Medincell’s partner, Teva.
Medincell’s investigational pipeline includes numerous innovative therapeutic candidates in various stages of development, from formulation to Phase 3 clinical trials. We collaborate with leading pharmaceutical companies and foundations to advance global health through new treatment options.
Headquartered in Montpellier, France, Medincell employs over 140 people representing more than 25 nationalities.
