The Company promoted cooperation across the industry chain, continued to invest more in R&D, technology, and innovation, and continuously innovated its product categories and accelerated the layout of health business by relying on a global network connecting Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas, and using big data to gain insights of consumers. 

 

Creating Common Prosperity of Commercial and Social Value

 

After China announced its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 last year, Yili, positively making a response to this call by releasing its own vision of carbon neutrality, was the first dairy company committed to do so in China.

 

In the future, Yili will continue to build a "global health ecosystem", take the lead in promoting the sustainable development through the common prosperity of both commercial and social value.
