"To build an ideal group" is our long term vision. In my opinion, "an ideal group" means more the special attention on protecting the ecological environment of the planet we live in, improving the social and cultural conditions of the Company and enhancing the internal governance level of the Company, in addition to the production of high-quality products and good return for shareholders. In terms of ESG, Yihai Kerry requires not only responses to concerns of investors, but more conscious actions from the executive body to every employee of the Company.

As early as 2008, Wilmar International, the parent company of Yihai Kerry, became a member of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). In 2013, Wilmar International announced its No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) Policy, which covers the entire supply chain including third-party suppliers. During the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021, Wilmar International, together with 12 of the world's leading agricultural trading and processing companies, issued a joint statement pledging to launch a common supply chain action plan to help achieve the 1.5°C temperature control target.

Recently, Wilmar International is officially included in the 2021 Dow Jones Food, Beverage and Tobacco Industry Sustainability World Index (DJSI World). This is the second time Wilmar International has been included in the list of 322 world index companies based on its ESG performance, following its inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index in 2020. Wilmar scored 75 on the Standard & Poor's Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), well above the industry average of 25, reflecting that it has been widely recognized for its outstanding performance in corporate governance, economy, environment and society.

Upholding the strong commitment of the parent company to achieve sustainable development, Yihai Kerry also applies ESG concept throughout the whole process of production, construction and operation. For example, with the help of technological innovation, we are first to realize the "rice circular economy model" in the grain industry, "squeezing up" every grain of rice; we extract natural VE and phytosterol from the by-products of oil processing to produce biofuel, making the best use of everything; through green, precise and moderate processing, we not only maximize the retention of nutrients in food, but also reduce energy consumption, waste water discharge and carbon emissions; we continue to promote the comprehensive utilization of clean energy such as photovoltaic and biogas as well as combustible waste gas to build "green factories"; we promote green procurement supply chain and packaging reduction, improving the efficiency of resource utilization.

In order to better promote and manage ESG tasks, the Board of Directors of the Group set up a Sustainability Committee in 2021, leading the Sustainability Department of the Group. We will also establish a "Group Sustainability Award" to recognize outstanding ESG departments and individuals within the Group. Based on the national"30/60 Dual Carbon Goals", we will work with upstream and downstream supply chain partners to achieve balanced development of enterprises, society and environment, and create a sustainable future for the planet and human society.
