production processes and packaging are
also included. All ingredient standards and
product standards are assembled systematically
and can be easily accessed in PLM.
IDM: What is Yili’s digital risk-assessment
platform like?
Yun: Yili’s digital risk-assessment platform
consists of three databases: Horizon
scan, Foodakai, and Foodmate. Using the
databases, you can search 60,000 case
studies based upon industry data, border
rejections, recalls, foodborne outbreaks,
attention from consumers, and customer
feedback hotlines which occurred in the
past 40 years and across about 170 countries,
covering approximately 4,300 types
of ingredients and products. By reviewing
and learning from the past experiences in
these case studies, Yili is then enabled to
better assess and evaluate potential risks
at an early stage.
IDM: What is Yili’s course for CO2 reduction?
Yun: Yili established the Dairy Nutrition Assessment
System (DNAS) to improve cows’
digestion and absorption rates, setting
out a greener way to control greenhouse
gas emissions. In addition, Yili considers
the environmental impact of transportation
at many levels. By improving the full
load rate of vehicles, optimizing logistics
routes, and using tracking and positioning
with GPS, Yili enjoys greater control over
the management of drivers and vehicles,
which helps to increase operational efficiency
and lower carbon emissions.
Since 2010, Yili has systematically evaluated
the greenhouse gas emissions across
all of its factories for 11 consecutive years,
having established a carbon-emissions
database for the whole dairy production
process. By the end of 2020, 19 of Yili’s
factories had been certified as national
“green factories” in China. The Thailandbased
manufacturer Chomthana was certified
as a green industry by the Thai Ministry
of Industry.
