The initiative release was made at the “Yili Healthy Soiree”, which, held by Yili, attracted many industrial leaders, experts and entrepreneurs to discuss development of ecosphere economy amid the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting.

Under the initiative, Yili calls on all partners involved in the global health ecosphere industry chain to advocate healthy living and working methods, put into place the concept of health and sustainable development in work, and let the whole world share results of the health development by win-win cooperation.

“Taking the building of a Global Health Ecosystem as its mission, the Yili Group has re-established its leading position in the industry, shaping global thinking towards a healthier world,” said Adolfo Orive, president & CEO of Tetra Pak, a leading food processing and packaging solutions provider.
