The 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) was convened in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, drawing worldwide attention. On November 8, the Center 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. Representatives of international organizations and enterprises joined roundtable discussions on the respective "Green Practices of Businesses and Opportunities on Renewable Energy Supply Chain" panels.
Yili was invited to attend the seminar online as a representative from China's food product industry. The story of its pioneering net-zero carbon milk was showcased in the Sustainable Consumption Report: Chinese Enterprises' Actions.
Taking action for green development
In reflection of China's commitment to achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality by 2030 and 2060, Chinese enterprises have likewise begun to take initiative. Pan Gang, Chairman and President of Yili Group, initially proposed a concept of "Green Leadership" in 2007 and introduced the "Green Industry Chain" in China's dairy business in 2009. In 2022, Yili was the first in China's food sector in launching its Plan for a Net Zero Carbon Future and 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 likeminded partners from around the world.
