Yihai Kerry continues to pay attention to international and national developments related to climate change and actively explores new models of low-carbon development to address climate change. We take corresponding countermeasures through the assessment of climate change risks.

Enhancing Risk Response Capabilities
In 2022, Yihai Kerry will refer to the disclosure methodology and recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), and identify the risks and opportunities brought by climate change to the company from three aspects: entity risks, transformation risks, and market opportunities. In the future, we will gradually improve our climate change risk management system and continuously strengthen our risk management capabilities.
Strengthen the data
Based on target on 2021;
In 2022, we commissioned an independent third-party organization to conduct the "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Verification for 2021"
Greenhouse Gas Verification Statement(Scope 1&2)
Greenhouse Gas Verification Statement(Scope 3)
Carbon Neutrality Factory
In 2022, Yihai Kerry successfully built the first "carbon neutrality factory" in the domestic cereal and oil industry, playing an essential role as a model to promote China's cereal and oil industry to achieve the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality"
Product Carbon Footprint
Yihai Kerry implements energy saving and emission reduction efforts along the value chain by assessing greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain. We continue to carry out carbon footprint verification of some of our core products and have obtained carbon footprint certificates for the relevant products.

Production and office emissions reduction
We uphold the adoption of clean energy, promote resource recycling, and carry out energy conservation and emissions-reduction measures.
By the end of 2022, Yihai Kerry will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a total of 958,585 tons of CO2e through the use of biomass energy (rice husks), biogas recycling, procurement of solar power, and energy saving and emission reduction projects.

Methane recycling |
Yihai Kerry launched the construction of solarphotovoltaic power -generation facilities. By providing sites such as roofs of subsidiary factory buildings to professional institutions in order to lay solar panels and produce clean electricity, and adopting the mode of "Self-generation for self-use, surplus for the Grid", the proportion of renewable clean energy used by factories is increased and CO2 emission is reduced. |
To reduce fossil energy consumption,reduce GHG emissions, and ensure stable electricity supply, and steam and heat required for production, Yihai Kerry is promoting the use of rice husks.

By establishing biogas recycling facilities, Yihai Kerry has reduced GHG emissions caused by biogas generated in the factory's sewage treatment process.
The collected biogas is fed into the boiler to produce steam and reduce the consumption of coal or natural gas in the boiler, while the excess biogas is burned through a flare to ensure minimal leakage of methane. |
In addition, the Company promotes the green office concept by encouraging employees to use online conferencing to reduce GHG emissions generated by travel. Also, by using shared disks, servers and printing networks in office areas, we reduce the use of paper, thereby reducing GHG emissions in the office.
Internal storage and transportation
Yihai Kerry has adopted new models, new energy and new technologies to reduce direct GHG emissions in internal storage and logistics.
Upstream and downstream transport logistics
The Company cooperates with carriers to achieve the refined management of fuel in transportation through informationization and standardization. Besides, by optimizing routes and integrating resources to shorten the supply chain, thus effectively shortening the transportation distance and reducing waste, so that we reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions.
Upstream and downstream supply chain emissions-reduction action
In the upstream and downstream energy saving and emissions-reduction process, the Company provides assistance and cooperation for farmers and suppliers to reduce GHG emissions generated from the upstream supply chain's raw material cultivation, processing and production. We also reduce GHG emissions from the use of end product through product design and product packaging improvement action.
