Yili joins COP 27 panel discussion on green business practices

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- China’s leading dairy producer Yili Group participated in the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 27) which was convened in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

In a statement, Yili said it was invited to attend the seminar online as a representative from China's food product industry, where the story of its pioneering net-zero carbon milk was showcased in the Sustainable Consumption Report: Chinese Enterprises' Actions.

In 2022, Yili was the first in China's food sector to launch its plan for a net zero carbon future and a roadmap to a net zero carbon future. 

Armed with this strategy, Yili plans to achieve industrial-chain-wide carbon neutrality by 2050, while also forming a “net zero carbon alliance” with like-minded partners from around the world.

In addition, Yili has been developing an integrated farming system which it had already applied to 272 partner pastures by the end of 2021. 

The company promotes green manufacturing in its plants by enhancing energy efficiency, utilising renewable energy, and employing environmentally friendly packaging.

As green and sustainable products are becoming more popular in recent years, Yili has also conveyed the concept of carbon reduction to the public through various campaigns.

It has joined the representatives of international organisations and enterprises in roundtable discussions on the respective “Green Practices of Businesses and Opportunities on Renewable Energy Supply Chain” panels.

On Nov 8, the Centre for International Knowledge on Development of China hosted the "Seminar on Clean Energy Development - Accelerating Achievement on Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7)" at the China Pavilion.
