Bureau Veritas CEO Visits Yili to Explore a Zero-Carbon Future for the Dairy Industry

Recently, a delegation led by Hinda GHARBI, the CEO of Bureau Veritas, visited Yili Group and held talks with Xu Ke, Vice President of Yili Group, and Qiao Lu, Vice President overseeing Sustainability and Social Value.

During the meeting, Xu Ke presented an expert appointment letter from the Dairy Sub-center of the National Carbon Metrology Center (Inner Mongolia) to Hinda GHARBI. The Dairy Sub-center serves as a professional metrology platform to promote the "dual-carbon" initiatives within China's dairy industry, playing a crucial role in supporting the sector’s carbon neutrality goals. This appointment letter reflects Yili's high regard for Bureau Veritas' expertise in sustainable development and marks a significant milestone in their deepening collaboration.

At the meeting, both parties also held in-depth discussions on low-carbon initiatives and sustainable development across the entire industrial chain. Xu Ke reviewed the successful outcomes of the collaboration between Yili and Bureau Veritas. He shared the "Sustainable Social Value Ecosystem" created by Yili in partnership with leading enterprises and invited Hinda GHARBI to visit Yili's Modern Smart Health Valley for a visit and further guidance.

Hinda GHARBI highly commended the exemplary achievements in the green and low-carbon sectors resulting from the partnership. She expressed a desire to deepen collaboration with Yili in areas such as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), digitalization, and waste management, aiming to elevate their cooperation to a higher and deeper level.
