  In 2022, Mengniu partnered with various civil society organizations, institutions, and companies including the China Environmental Protection Foundation, the All - China Environmental Protection Federation, and the China Three Gorges Corporation to jointly issue the "Supporting Afforestation to Protect the Earth and Aid China's Contribution to Global Environmental Governance" initiative. We actively responded to China's goal of planting and conserving 70 billion trees within 10 years, mobilizing and supporting a wide range of sectors in participating in actions to green and protect the Earth, contributing to the protection of global biodiversity and collective efforts to address climate change. In 2022, Mengniu promoted the planting of over 200,000 trees on cooperative ranches.

  Mengniu's subsidiary, China Shengmu Organic Milk Limited, adheres to the philosophy of "appropriate grass and appropriate forest" and practices industrial desert control. They are dedicated to creating an ecological environment where "business and nature coexist." By planting trees and establishing organic grasslands, we have transformed deserts into oases, constructing an organic ecological circle within the desert. This has improved the local ecological environment and biodiversity while enhancing the desert region's ability to adapt to climate change.

  Mengniu's subsidiary, China Modern Dairy Holding Ltd, utilizes idle land for tree planting and afforestation activities, continuously improving the resilience of ecosystem.
