The Third Zero Carbon Alliance and Low Water Footprint Initiative Alliance Summit Convenes, Aiming for Carbon Neutrality Across the Entire Industrial Chain by 2050

Recently, the Third Zero Carbon Alliance and Low Water Footprint Initiative Alliance Summit was held at the National Dairy Technology Innovation Center in Hohhot. Yili Group, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Tsinghua University Institute for Carbon Neutrality, jointly launched the "WISH2030 Vision Declaration." During the summit, Yili announced its participation in the formulation of 12 international and national standards. The company also secured a five-star rating—the highest level—for its sustainability report from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences for the sixth consecutive year. The Zero Carbon Alliance has now expanded to 154 member companies, 90% of which have completed their low-carbon transformation. Meanwhile, the Global Low Water Footprint Initiative (LWFi) Alliance has grown to include 60 partners. At the summit, China's first comprehensive carbon management and operations platform for the dairy industry was officially launched, with full implementation across all Yili factories.

The company's ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions and conserve water across its entire industrial chain reflect the broader achievements of Yili and its partners in advancing sustainable development. On May 20th, Yili hosted the "WISH2030 Vision Conference and Sustainable Social Value Forum," where it joined forces with enterprises and social organizations such as Tencent and Lenovo to establish the "Sustainable Social Value Ecosystem." Together, they issued the "WISH2030 Vision Declaration." Guided by the belief in "business for good," Yili hopes to inspire more enterprises and partners to join the ecosystem. By integrating commercial value with social value, Yili aims to achieve co-creation, mutual benefit, and shared prosperity, contributing to the sustainable development of the economy, society, and environment in China and around the world.
