Founded on April 8, 2022, the "Zero Carbon Alliance" was launched by Yili Group and 43 global strategic partners to promote "full chain carbon reduction". On the day of the establishment of the alliance, Yili released the "Yili Group Zero Carbon Future Plan" and the "Yili Group Zero Carbon Future Plan Roadmap", indicating that Yili has reached its carbon peaking in 2012 and will achieve carbon neutrality in the whole industrial chain by 2050.

▲ "Zero Carbon Alliance" Established

In 2022, with the joint efforts of all of us, the "Zero Carbon Alliance" has yielded fruitful results. Yili has integrated supplier relationship management system and safety, environment, energy and quality management system, built supplier carbon emission data collection information system, and increased the calculation accuracy from 95% to 100%. One-to-one counseling for suppliers, leading 17 suppliers to complete low-carbon transformation, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 5000 tons annually; Precipitation carbon reduction technology and successful experience, together with suppliers to build five "zero carbon factories" and release five "zero carbon products"; Jindian 0 aluminum foil packaged pure milk, developed jointly with Kangmei Bao, will also be launched in January 2023, which can reduce the carbon footprint by 30.81%, and the packaging can be 100% recycled.

"Zero Carbon Alliance" is a microcosm of Yili's active exploration and promotion of full-chain carbon reduction to help the country achieve the goal of "double carbon" with substantial progress. As early as 2007, Pan Gang, chairman of Yili Group, took the lead in putting forward "green leadership" and further upgraded it to Yili's "green industry chain strategy" in 2009, advocating the trinity development concept of "green production, green consumption and green development". Since 2010, Yili has carried out comprehensive carbon inventory in enterprises for 12 consecutive years, becoming the first enterprise in the industry to carry out carbon inventory. The first "green electricity trading certificate" with double certification in China's electricity and carbon market, the first "carbon management system" in China's food industry, and the first water footprint certification were born in Yili. Yili's carbon reduction practice has been selected into the United Nations Global Compact's "Enterprise Carbon Neutrality Roadmap" and the United Nations Development Programme's "Towards Zero Carbon Sustainable Development Action for Enterprises in China" report.

Although the road is far, the line is coming; Difficult as it is, it will be done. As an industry leader, Yili will take the lead in achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, achieving a leading sustainable development rating, promoting the realization of the goal of common prosperity, and building a leading ideological leadership to achieve social value leadership. In the next strategic cycle, Yili will drive the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, actively practice the concept of green sustainable development, promote the win-win situation of the industrial chain while seeking high-quality development of enterprises, and work together to achieve a zero-carbon future!

“零碳联盟”是伊利积极探索和推进全链减碳，以实质性进展助力国家实现“双碳”目标的一个缩影。早在2007年，伊利集团董事长潘刚就率先提出“绿色领导力”，并在2009年进一步升级为伊利的“绿色产业链战略”，倡导“绿色生产、绿色消费、绿色发展”三位一体的发展理念。自2010年起，伊利连续12年开展企业内的全面碳盘查，成为行业内第一家开展碳盘查的企业。全国首张电碳市场双认证的“绿电交易凭证”、中国食品行业第一个“碳管理体系”、第一个水足迹认证等在伊利诞生。伊利减碳实践连续入选了联合国全球契约《企业碳中和路径图》、联合国开发计划署《走向零碳 在华企业可持续发展行动》报告。
