HOHHOT, China, Aug. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
On August 25th, 2021, Rabobank of the Netherlands released its annual Global
Dairy Top 20 Report. Dairy giant Yili Group once again clinched the fifth spot
following the previous year, remaining leader of Asia for the eighth
consecutive year as the only Asian dairy company among the Top 5.
Strong financial performance despite Covid-19
With the Covid-19 pandemic still raging across the world, Yili has demonstrated
great resilience and strong competence with a complete industrial chain within
its control. The company reported a total revenue of RMB 96.886 billion in
2020, making it one of the few dairy companies that achieved high growth amid a
global economic downturn. Report of Q1 FY2021 showed a record performance, with
a total revenue of RMB 27.363 billion, representing a YoY increase of 32.49%.
Yili expects to conquer the RMB 100 billion mark in annual revenue this year.
The strong performance is the result of Yili's fast and effective responses to
market changes and heightened attention to supply chain, new product launches
and e-commerce channels. Yili continued to roll out industrial cluster
projects, promoting the digitalization and intelligent transformation of the
whole industrial chain. In addition, the company continued to bring forth new
products and actively promoted new retail models such as membership promotions,
community marketing and O2O home delivery through strengthened cooperation with
e-commerce platforms.
Going global with high-quality products
Striving for higher quality has become a key focal point for dairy companies.
For this purpose, Yili set up a quality management system involving "all
employees, a holistic process and all aspects" and established a three-layer
system covering the headquarters, business units and factories to monitor food
safety risks. Unremitting pursuit of quality has helped Yili secure high level
of consumer preference, evidenced by its being named by Brand Finance as one of
the world's most valuable dairy brands in 2021.
Yili is also committed to gathering high-quality resources and partnerships
from around the globe. It has built two production facilities in New Zealand,
the Oceania Production Base and Westland Dairy Company Limited. In addition,
Yili has set up its European Innovation Center and Oceania Innovation Center to
empower the R&D of new products.
Relying on its production bases in China, Oceania, Southeast Asia and other
places, Yili is steadily expanding its overseas business. Multiple best-selling
products, including AMBPOMIAL Yoghurt, Joyday Ice Cream, Yili Youngfun and
Westgold Butter, have been launched in 21 countries and regions.
Sustainability commitments
Rabobank's 2021 report also highlights increased consumers awareness of
environmental challenges in the context of the pandemic, noting that "consumer
sentiments are being heard, and many companies included in the Global Dairy Top
20 have made sustainability commitments."
Yili first began its comprehensive carbon emissions auditing back in 2010.
Through over a decade of efforts, Yili has reduced its emissions by 6.51
million tons of CO2 equivalent, which is equivalent to saving 10.7 billion
kilowatt hours of electricity.
Issued annually, Rabobank's Global Diary Top 20 Report has been recognized as
one of the most authoritative rankings of the dairy industry, putting
industrials leaders in the spotlight based upon their sales data and financial
statements.
