No.6  Yili announces world’s first annual report on biodiversity protection to promote the realization of SDGs
   
On November 18, Yili Group, as the first Chinese enterprise to sign the Cancun Business and Biodiversity Pledge to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), announced world's first annual report on biodiversity protection. The report systematically disclosed Yili’s efforts and achievement on promoting the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to fulfill their social responsibilities and protect biological diversity. This is another “Chinese sample” on the world stage after Yili Group’s Practices on Biodiversity Protection was selected as outstanding practices by UNESCO.  
 
On December 7, Yili was awarded the Best Practices for Chinese Enterprises to Achieve SDGs in 2018 by the UN Global Compact at the 2018 China Business Summit on Achieving SDGs.
 
Reason for listing:
 
The economic globalization of China in the new era is first or should be reflected in the globalized management of Chinese enterprises. As an outstanding representative of Chinese enterprises, Yili has actively responded to international initiatives in line with its core business, paid close attention to biodiversity and other sustainability topics for many years, and invested a lot to carry out a number of biodiversity practice projects, which is quite rare at home and abroad.
 
This is not only a sample of Yili, a global enterprise responding to global initiatives and assuming global responsibilities in the new era, but also a symbol of China's participation in global governance as a responsible power. It demonstrates the mission, vision and actions that a first-class enterprise should have.
