"To build an ideal group" is our long term vision. In my opinion. "An ideal group" goes beyond quality products and good return for shareholders — it protects our planet, uplifts communities, and excels in governance. At Yihai Kerry Arawana, ESG is not just a response to investors’ concerns, but a shared mission embraced by every leader and employee.

The year 2025 marks a year of dedicated growth and steady progress for YKA. Against the backdrop of escalating climate challenges,energy transition and evolving consumer needs, we have remained true to our founding aspiration: “To Build an Ideal Group.”With sustainability deeply embedded in our corporate  growth, we have taken solid steps to translate ESG from concept into action and from plans into tangible results.

Throughout the year, our robust ESG practices have been widely recognized by leading authorities worldwide. In the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), we achieved a historic high score of 75, maintaining our leading position in China’s food industry. Meanwhile, YKA retained its MSCI ESG Rating of A for the third consecutive year. These achievements are not only honors, but also represent the capital market’s recognition of our commitment to sustainable development and our consistent delivery of solid value.

This year, we remained committed to advancing our carbon neutrality strategy and turning our climate pledges into concrete action plans. The Group’s 2050 Net-Zero Targets and Roadmap systematically covers Scope 1, Scope 2 and a portion of Scope 3 emissions. We ramped up the adoption of clean energy, comprehensively improved energy efficiency, and collaborated with supply chain partners to foster a green ecosystem. These efforts not only position us to gain an edge in future carbon market competition and achieve a win-win between operational performance and social responsibility, but also represent our tangible response to the national “Dual Carbon” strategy, as we contribute expertise and strength to the green transition of Chinese enterprises. 

Guided by our philosophy of “Oriental Nutritional Wellness”, we support the “Healthy China 2030” Plan and continuously pursue innovative ways in the “health & wellness food industry”. We launched Arawana Feng Yi Tang, our flagship health & wellness brand, integrating century‑old Chinese dietary therapies with modern nutritional science to build a three-tier product portfolio focused on safety, health and functional benefits. Committed to the concept of “Moderate Processing & Nutrition First”, we safeguard food safety for consumers and deliver precision nutrition solutions tailored to people across all life stages. We are also dedicated to driving the food industry’s strategic transformation from basic dietary provision toward food-based wellness. This cannot be done
without our sustained efforts in deepening industry development and consistent investment in innovation and R&D over the years. 

We firmly believe that the essence of business lies in co-creating value. We strive to build a safe, healthy platform full of growth opportunities for our employees. We grow alongside our supply chain partners to share the fruits of development. And we actively integrate into local communities to become a trusted “good neighbor”. With these practical efforts, we have turned our ESG pledges from words into real impact in daily operations. Standing at a new starting point, YKA will continue to lean into technological innovation and champion green and low-carbon growth as we deepen ESG governance and practice. Together with our partners, we will stay grounded and keep delivering, hoping to jointly build a more sustainable and prosperous future.
