Recently, Yili Jin Dian carbon-neutral organic A2 pure milk obtained the carbon-neutral verification statement (PAS2060) issued by Bureau Veritas, a world-renowned international inspection and certification group, and became the first "zero-carbon milk" in China. In addition, the first "zero-carbon factory" in China food industry, the first two "zero-carbon factories" in China milk powder industry and the first "zero-carbon factory" in China cold drink industry were also born in Yili.

"Jin Dian’s full range of milk", "Chang Qing’s full range of yogurt" and "Xu Jin Huan ice cream" became the designated products of Boao Forum for Asia 2022 annual meeting.
At the forum of "Realizing Carbon Neutrality: Enterprises in Action", Zhang Jianqiu, CEO of Yili Group, said that only by adhering to the principle of "prospering with green", practicing green concepts, strengthening green management and promoting green actions can we better meet the challenges of carbon neutrality and embrace a bright future of "green mountains always exist, industries always flourish and golden mountains always stay".

Adhere to "consumer-centered" and lead a zero-carbon future
According to the latest survey data released by China Environmental Protection Federation, nearly 80% of netizens expressed their strong will to practice a low-carbon lifestyle. At the forum, "zero-carbon milk" attracted the attention of the participants.
China’s first "zero-carbon milk" triggered a heated discussion among the participants.
What is "zero carbon milk"? According to reports, the carbon neutrality of a milk product requires the carbon footprint (referring to the collection of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the main body) of the product to meet the standard, not only to reduce carbon emissions, but also to achieve the necessary carbon emissions through the integration of pasture planting and breeding. "Offset".
Yili Jin Dian carbon-neutral organic A2 pure milk has achieved carbon neutrality in the whole life cycle of products conforming to PAS2060, and achieved "net zero" emission of greenhouse gases in the stages of acquisition, production and transportation of raw materials and production, transportation, use and abandonment of products. The birth of "zero-carbon milk" is the embodiment of Yili’s insistence on "taking consumers as the center" and leading a low-carbon lifestyle. It is worth mentioning that Yili’s second "zero-carbon milk" Jindian Juanshan will also be listed soon. Han Bin, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Global Compact China Network, said that Yili’s "zero-carbon milk" marked china dairy’s low-carbon development in by going up one flight of stairs, and also pointed out a development direction of low-carbon life and low-carbon consumption.
From Ranch to Shelf: The Birth of "Zero Carbon Milk"
During the forum, Yili released the video "The Birth of Zero-carbon Milk", which revealed the story behind a bottle of zero-carbon milk from pasture to shelf for the first time. Yili’s carbon reduction in the whole chain also attracted attention from all walks of life.

In nearly 300 pastures in Yili, more than 90% of the land is planted with silage corn, and the model of "planting and breeding integration" can basically eliminate the manure pollution of pastures all year round. Moreover, the cows living here eat more digestible feed, which can effectively reduce the methane emission of food during intestinal fermentation. In order to reduce the carbon emissions in the process of product processing, transportation and storage, Yili Factory has adopted a large number of clean energy sources such as wind energy, which has saved 8.73 million tons of carbon dioxide and 15 billion kWh of electricity.
At the same time, Yili also actively joined hands with the global industrial chain to promote carbon reduction in the whole chain. On April 8th, "Cloud Hand in Hand" 43 global strategic partners launched the "Zero Carbon Alliance", actively shared their mature experience of carbon neutrality, and led the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to move towards a zero carbon era. In the future, Yili will continue to adhere to the principle of "prospering because of green", practice green concepts, strengthen green management and promote green actions, and strive to provide more green and healthy food for consumers and add more green scenery to the earth.
