It shows that Yili has achieved carbon peak in 2012. In the "Roadmap of Yili Group's Zero-Carbon Future Plan", Yili clarified the implementation roadmap of carbon neutrality management in the whole life cycle, and promoted the implementation in three stages: before 2030, the business model of Yili's green, low-carbon and circular development will be Preliminary formation, energy utilization efficiency has been greatly improved; before 2040, Yili's green transformation of the entire industrial chain will achieve remarkable results, and the energy utilization efficiency at the organizational level will reach the international advanced level; before 2050, Yili will achieve green, low-carbon and circular development, clean and low-carbon The safe and efficient energy system operates with high quality, and the energy utilization efficiency of the whole industry chain has reached the international advanced level.

Over the years, Yili has always attached great importance to achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and has taken practical actions to lead the carbon reduction work of the entire industry chain. As early as in the first Summer Davos Forum in 2007, Pan Gang, chairman of Yili Group, took the lead in proposing "green leadership", which was further upgraded to Yili's "green industry chain strategy" in 2009, advocating "green production, green consumption, Green development" trinity development concept. Since 2010, Yili has carried out comprehensive carbon inspections within the enterprise for 12 consecutive years, becoming the first enterprise in the industry to carry out carbon inspections. On October 24, 2020, Yili was the first in the industry to respond to the national "3060" dual-carbon goal and took the lead in committing to achieve carbon neutrality. On December 31, 2021, Yili started the construction of the country's first zero-carbon five-star demonstration area - "Hohhot Yili Modern Smart Health Valley Zero-carbon Five-star Demonstration Project". This year, the first "zero-carbon factory" in China's food industry, China's first "zero-carbon milk", and the first two "zero-carbon factories" in China's milk powder industry were born in Yili.

Yili's full-chain carbon reduction action has been highly recognized by the United Nations. On July 27, 2021, Yili, as the world's only representative enterprise case of agri-food industry, was selected into the UN Global Compact "Enterprise Carbon Neutral Path Map". On December 24, as the only dairy enterprise in China, Yili's case was included in the Sustainable Development Action for Zero Carbon Enterprises in China issued by the United Nations Development Program. Han Bin, Secretary-General of the UN Global Compact China Network, expressed the hope that Yili can actively share its own experience, work together to promote whole-chain carbon reduction, and make its own contribution to the national and global carbon neutrality process.

As an industry leader, in the next strategic cycle, Yili will anchor the "1250" dual carbon target, actively practice the concept of green and sustainable development, drive the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and promote the win-win of the industrial chain to achieve the goal of "leading social value" while developing with high quality.
