Dear friends:
I became a member of the big family of Mengniu in April 2012 with trust from the Board of
Directors. Over the past two years of arduous work, we have deeply realized that the great power
that drives a company forward comes from its people, system and culture. Two years ago, we came
up with the brand conception of "Little Happiness Matters" which is interpreted today by us making
"every drop of happiness". Together with 30,000 Mengniu employees, 300,000 partners, we have
reestablished the corporate vision of becoming a “consumer-oriented and innovation-led nutritious
and healthy food company”, for which we pool all efforts to build a sustainable ecosystem and to
provide consumers with every drop of happiness.
We spare no efforts to improve quality in every drop of our milk and to build our ecosystem and
an open culture. With every tiny action we take, we are changing our own world. With these
numerous efforts, we are becoming more confident than ever and changing our attitude towards
work from purely assuming responsibility to devotion to it. We are changing our communication
with customers from making our information transparent to frank interaction. We are leading your
health and nutrition through continuous innovations more than satisfying your needs for food.
More importantly, the revolution in the Internet is changing our communication means. We hope
you can feel the warmth from us in every detail we make and choose our products through better
understanding of Mengniu and Mengniu's people once you refuse to turn down warmth and
happiness. We highly value sharing and cooperation, and expect to jointly build and improve a
sustainable ecosystem, to contribute and reward the society.

Every Drop Represents Our Heartfelt Efforts —— A letter from our president
02 02
In the future, we will make continuous innovations in products and service, and will pool every tiny effort
from each single person to spread Mengniu's conception of "Little Happiness Matters" and to interpret our
values of "Openness, Integrity, Accountability, Innovation". Mengniu is to realize a complete reform and
transformation: we are not just based on the resources in China but also those around the world; we are
not just a dairy products producer but a leading nutritious and healthy food company; we are not only the
expert of one specific food category but a contributor to healthy and innovative development of the dairy
industry.
We will make persistent efforts and devote full attention to our goal.
Sincerely yours
Sun Yiping

Fully-enclosed transportation ensures raw milk safety
Xu Zhengqiang: I am a driver of Mengniu milk truck. Many people around me care passionately about raw milk transportation safety issues. However safe and reliable the raw milk may be, if any problem occurs in the transportation
process, it is hard to guarantee that products from the raw milk are of the �nest quality. Therefore, Mengniu has very strict
and speci�c requirements on raw milk transportation, which is known as the "4 ℃ and 24 hour delivery to plant" principle.
After raw milk is collected in enclosed workshop and loaded on the lorry, an employee will seal all valves and inlets of the
milk tank by an E-Seal, which will be opened and veri�ed by another employee when the truck arrives at the manufacturing
workshop. The E-Seal technology can protect the milk tank from being opened in the middle way and from counterfeit, so
that it ensures the raw milk is transported in a completely closed environment free of contamination. In order to guarantee
the freshness of raw milk, there are strict plans on routes and time of the milk lorries to guarantee the transportation process.

Awakening youth rejuvenates the aged
Gu Erhui: I am a product manager of Mengniu. We are always concerned about health issues of the aged. For the sake of a
enjoyable life of the aged in their later years, we have made extensive investigations into their health needs and launched
an innovative product, Mengniu · Awakening Youth. It helps the aged build stronger bones, improve cardiovascular
functions and mitigate the impacts of chronic diseases to their well-being. We made great innovations in product functions
and provided sufficient Vitamin D and Casein Phosphopeptides (CPP), deep sea fish oil and phosphatide, which promote
easy absorption of calcium and realize e�ective intestines and stomach conditioning. In June 2012, Awakening Youth was
successfully launched and won great popularity and trusts among the elderly consumers.
For better and more comprehensive care to the elderly consumers, we also launched a series of activities in various forms. For
instance, in August and September of 2013, we launched a Mengniu Awakening Youth activity themed as "Stay young with new
bone energy", to which we invited professional physicians to provide bone mineral density tests, lectures on rational calcium
supplement and shows of Taichi Ball Game to elderly consumers from 24 communities in 9 districts of Chongqing City.
Awakening Youth is more than providing elderly consumers with nutrition, and it also leads them to good patterns and
attitudes to live!

Meeting Basic Nutrition Needs
Mengniu's Suan Suan Ru builds close connections with consumers
in an absolutely new way based on analysis of diversified
psychology and needs of young consumers for nutrition, leisure
and fashion. We appointed Mayday, a famous rock band, as
its spokesperson and launched "Sour and sweet youth", and
sponsored a popular music reality show The X Factor on Hunan
Satellite TV to advocate new youth claims and awaken new vigor
of society.
Keeping leisure and comfort around
Based on extensive investigations into the needs and expectations in leisure hours of consumers of various ages, sexes and
habits, we strove to make products with new design and taste to cater for the public with healthy dairy products with various
�avors during their leisure times and hot summer days. Consumers can take both necessary nutrition and have a good time.

Starting a day o� with Mengniu breakfast milk
Nutritious breakfast provides human body with 60%-70% vitamins and minerals need every day. However, busy lives make
it harder to �nd the time to have breakfast. We actively developed Mengniu breakfast milk with various �avors and portable
packages, and added a variety of grain essence and dietary �ber, in order to make up the "nutrition de�ciency" due to the
skipped breakfast.
Maintaining a natural and balanced lifestyle everydayAccording to statistics, average milk consumption of
Chinese people is less than 1/2 of world average, and
the resulting acalcerosis attracted extensive attentions.
We developed pure milk and yogurt products to help
consumers keep �t by maintaining intestines and stomach
dynamics and providing them with all necessary protein
their bodies need.
Invoking the Rio 2 image of the popular little bird on the package of its breakfast milk, Mengniu hopes to advocate
young people wake up earlier and pass on the healthy life style. By the end of the activity, over 54,690,000 consumers
participated in the campaign via PC and mobile devices, covering 3,300,000 independent consumer QQ numbers
and �nally 158,000 consumers reached the �nal end.
We cooperated with Universal Picture Corporation
and combines the "Minions" in Despicable Me 2
with our new products and built the brand of "Cute
Big Eye". With milk and banana, Big Eye presents
consumers with tasty milk and also inspires their
joyful and healthy mindset to act cutely.

Specific Nutrition for Di�erent Age GroupsWe have carefully studied the nutrition needs of various consumer groups including children, middle aged and elderly
consumers and people with lactose intolerance, by which we researched on more dedicated and diversi�ed products to cater
for nutrition needs of special consumer groups.
Making milk more suitable for children
We focused on nutrition needs of children in various periods of growth, in order to speci�cally provide children with nutritional
supplement. We selected fine quality raw milk and employed professional experts in children nutrition industry to develop
special milk for children. We specially added DHA algae oil, prebiotics, taurine and other healthy nutrients that could satisfy
international standard, in order to meet demands of children for digestion, bone development and intelligence growth.
Guaranteeing student health with student milk
We have set up an exclusive ranch to produce student milk with an even higher standard. We ensure each child has safe and
nutritious milk based on stricter standards at all links of student milk, including propaganda, delivery, storage, distribution and
recycling.
Awakening youthful energy
We developed high-end functional dairy products for middle-aged and elderly consumers, which guarantees calcium absorption
by adopting special formulas and helps them dealing with health problems due to osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Caring for those with lactose intolerance
Since Mengniu Xinyangdao employed internationally advanced EHTTM
technology, nearly 100% lactose had been hydrolyzed, which is much higher than
similar products. Therefore, nutrition could easily reach every part of the human
body and significantly reduced the gastrointestinal discomfort of such a consumer
group with lactose intolerance, enabling them to enjoy a feast of milk.
Living a higher-quality life
With improvement of life quality and awareness of health, consumers tended
to be ever demanding on quality of dairy products. We developed the first high-
end milk of Mengniu, of which the raw milk was taken from Milk Deluxe exclusive
organic ranch. We implemented dual certification of Chinese national standards
and EU standards throughout the industrial chain and carried out complete source
tracking. The content of high-quality natural lactoprotein in every 100ml Milk Deluxe
milk was as high as 3.3g, which is 13.8% higher than required content by Chinese
national standard, so that we could cater pursuit of consumers for high quality both
in nutrition and technologies.
Working overtime, staying up late, poor air quality and lack of exercises...... Mengniu
had deep understanding of health troubles of office staff. So Mengniu developed the
Champion which is the first product in domestic market with bifidobacterium number
of 107/gram. Champion marked a new era of dual health care effects of "adjusting
intestinal flora and improving immunity". With various activities at "World Sleep Day"
on March 21st, "World Digestive Health Day" on May 29th and "National Fitness Day"
on August 8th Champion hoped to advance the healthy lifestyle by spreading related
ideas and creating a stimulating intellectual atmosphere for national fitness.
Do you know?A certain group of people in China cannot drink milk
for lactose intolerance caused by personal physical
problems of nature or nurture. Mengniu made
innovations and developed the Xinyangdao product
to cater for nutrition needs of such consumer group,
and realized the breakthrough of transforming milk
from being "nutritious" to "easily assimilated".
In 2011, Mengniu Xinyangdao was granted the
"IDF Award of Dairy Innovation" which is the most
authoritative award in the dairy industry.
Champion, new concept of health life

With YASHILI, milk powder business is brought to a new height
Li Xianming: I am a marketer of YASHILI milk powder. We are pleased to see that Mengniu kept YASHILI in independent operation after the acquisition in 2013. The leading position of Mengniu in domestic market and the strategic resources provided by COFCO as a large state-owned enterprise injected new energy to YASHILI's business development.
Our milk powder business will well supplement and improve Mengniu's product line, providing consumers with a wider portfolio of healthy products. After the acquisition, relying on the advantages of Mengniu in its raw milk chain management and international resources, YASHILI's milk powder quality was further improved. I could feel it intuitively that our products were better recognized by consumers and our business was also developing fast. I wish YASHILI could work together with Mengniu to provide healthy and safe milk power products to more Chinese babies.

New-type environment-friendly ranch
Wurenqiqige: I am a heifer breeder at Fuyuan Farming in Togtoh Ranch. The Togtoh Ranch is located in Togtoh County of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia and is an innovative ecological ranch designed on basis of environmental carrying capacity. There are 20,000 Mu of meadow around the ranch, so that the environmental capacity is utilized for the disposal of feces produced at the ranch. The grassland is mainly used to grow silage corn, to provide cows in the ranch with roughage. On the basis of local environmental conditions, we estimate that the optimum number of cows to be raised is 5,000. With this farm scale, the farm can realize economic bene�t of large scale farming and will not cause pressure to the local environment or a�ect the normal lives of local residents. We develop circular economy at the farm and collect cow dung for use to produce organic fertilizer. The yearly production of solid organic fertilizer is about 30,000 tons and the production of liquid organic fertilizer is about 90,000 tons, which are used for growth of silage corn and ordinary farms in the local places, in order to develop the local ecological agriculture and to realize harmony between human and environment.

regions in China. In future, Mengniu will cooperate with other fresh fast-moving consumer
goods (FMCG) companies to realize joint warehousing and delivery services in inter-
provincial distribution center.
Low-carbon transportation
We are the �rst dairy company in China to adopt railway transportation. In comparison
with road transportation, railway transportation is more friendly to the environment.
Mengniu has consecutively entered into strategic partnership with Beijing Railway Bureau
and CRCT, by which �ve special freight trains were launched and most dairy products of
Mengniu sold to East China and South China were transported by railway to Shanghai and
Guangzhou and then distributed to adjacent areas.
Sales at the place of production
In order to ensure that consumers can drink the freshest milk, we adopted the operation
mode of "Locally produced products are sold locally". We have established 31 production
bases and cover 1,720,000 points of sales throughout China, to effectively reduce
transportation distance and carbon emission.
4. Low-carbon and Green Development
We are the �rst in China to raise the idea of “paid packaging recycling”, installing packaging recycling machines
in supermarkets. Consumers can get a certificate for recycling and a ticket for a Mengniu event after putting a
certain number of packaging into the machine. This campaign has activated the “paid ecology”, a model aimed
to encourage public participation in environmental protection. By the end of 2013, we, together with Tetra Pak,
recycled more than 40,000 tons of packaging materials, which could be used to pack 4 billion packs of milk or circle
the earth by ten times.
Mengniu put in use 20,000 custom-made freezers,
each of which can save 180 kilowatt-hours worth of
electricity every year, thus lowering users’ power
costs by over 30%. These freezers together can
save up to 3.6 million kilowatt-hours every year,
an amount enough for 3,000 households’ power

Mengniu helped better our life
Mimaciren: I am a teacher in Dongba Primary School in Gangga Town, Dingri County, Rikaze, Tibet Autonomous
Region. The primary school is in very poor conditions. The classrooms have fallen into disrepair and we have even
troubles in getting water. However, things began to change after Mengniu sent a team to help us. They built a
warm duty room for us, but also built a water storage tank with 5-ton capacity. What’s more, they brought to
us winter clothes which our impoverished students were in need of in the past winter. In addition, they o�ered
generous help to over one thousand households in seven villages around the primary school. The kind help from
Mengniu and its partners totally changed our lives, for they brought us hope and love.

The Development of Mengniu’s Public Good Cause
Supporting public good cause by donations in cash and in kind

together in carrying out practical, measurable, sustainable, socialized and re�ned social responsibility activities and played its
social roles throughout the industrial value chain.

Making joint efforts for the public good with partnersThe effor ts made by Mengniu
were far from enough. Mengniu
then began to join hands with
stakeholders to carry out the public
good practices to contribute to a
happy China.
Paying constant attention to public good cause through establishing platforms Through continuous efforts in public good, Mengniu found that simple
donations in cash or in kind would not solve the key social problems and
only by establishing a constant and complete public good system can the
key social problems be greatly reduced fundamentally.

2012-2013
We jointly donated RMB 10 million with Laoniu Foundation to assist people in South China suffering from snow disaster and launched the campaign of “Gensheng Philanthropy Home” activity.

Give a Lecture in My HometownOn the public good platform of "You are the finishing touch", targeted on the rural education, Mengniu launched its
"Give a lecture in my hometown" program. We invited a number of public �gures to give lessons to the children at village
schools. We hoped their knowledge and experience could help to broaden the vision of the rural children and bring them
dreams and hope for future.
In 2013, we hope that driven by the "Give a
lecture in my hometown" campaign, more
public �gures can return to their hometown and
give lessons to the teachers and students there, bringing
them new knowledge and opening a new window for
them to know the outside world. In this way, we can help
them grow up happily.

Engagement in earthquake rescue and relief
Digging wells in the drought-hit pasturing areasSince 2011, we have launched a large project for people’s
well-being of digging wells in the drought-hit pasturing
areas. Together with local mainstream media, we invited
hydrologists to carry out site investigations to dig wells.
With these practical actions, we hope to help people in the
pasturing areas to fight against drought, bringing them
convenient lives.
On April 20, 2013, Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, was hit by a
7-magnitude earthquake. Three hours after the earthquake,
we donated 2,000 cartons of milk and 2,000 cartons of
Suan Suan Ru to the earthquake-hit area. In addition, we

Prospect
In 2014, we will actively promote the strategy of "sustainable cycle" and focus on core business in corporate
management and operation. We will determine the key social responsibility work and take advantages of
collaboration in the ecosystem, to combine the social responsibilities with all business areas, administrative
levels and job positions, to boost the sustainable development of Mengniu and the society in a transparent
and open attitude.
We will stick to the corporate vision of becoming a "consumer-orientated and innovation-led nutritious and
healthy food company". We will make the best of Mengniu's advantages in resources, technologies and talents
to promote the management and practices in Mengniu: we will keep close attention to all details from ranch
to dining table and improve our quality management systems throughout the ranch, the factory and the
industrial chain, in order to understand the demands of consumers and to develop prospective products and
services. While we strive to meet the demands of various consumers, we are also going to build emotional
connections to consumers. Starting with training of talents for middle- and small-sized ranches, we will
strengthen our �nancial and technological supports to partners. We hope to help the ranch-owners to make
a fortune. Besides, we will facilitate the sustainable development of suppliers, city managers and the entire
industrial chain: we stick to the ideas of "green Mengniu, green development and green renaissance" and
reduce the impacts of production operation distribution, and sales on the environment, so as to encourage
individuals to build a green and healthy society. Through innovative and complete talent training systems,
we will provide various platforms for employee development and build up a high-quality talent team for
sustainable development of the dairy industry.
In the future, we will take a more enthusiastic attitude to cooperate with company employees, city managers,
suppliers, media and celebrities to contribute to the sustainable development of the society.

Mengniu's Social Responsibility Report 2008-2013 has systematically disclosed the corporate vision of becoming a "consumer-orientated and innovation-
driven nutritious and healthy food company" and has fully demonstrated the characteristics in dairy industry and re�ected the conception and practices
of Mengniu to present consumers with safe, high-quality and healthy dairy products.
The report came out with an innovative concept of the sustainable ecosystem. Mengniu included its clients and partners, including consumers, suppliers
and city managers into its corporate social responsibility management, to build a sustainable ecosystem. Mengniu advocates the ideas of value sharing
and provides development platforms for all stakeholders on the industrial chain. Through cooperation of all parties involved, Mengniu works out an
overall strategy on solving social issues and on meeting social demands.
The report re�ected value creation in corporate social responsibility management. The report focuses on six core areas in corporate management and
operation and discloses the social responsibility management systems and speci�c actions in practices in each core areas. We can intuitively see scienti�c
corporate social responsibility management systems and feel the values created by Mengniu in the corporate social responsibility management.
The report is informative and well-structured. The report makes innovations to report structures and each chapter is started with an opening story, leading
readers to the management systems in di�erent areas. The responsibilities and practices are speci�ed under the management system. The report complies
with the codes and standards on social responsibility report and also demonstrates the characteristics in the industry and the company.
The report design echoes with the era of mobile internet in that it is provided with graphic display and images and illustration are added based on the
content, which can vividly describe the values of all the e�orts made by Mengniu. The Report is written brie�y and concisely, easy to read with each
chapter being an independent structure. It has shown the characteristics of communication in the ear of mobile internet.
I am totally attracted by the abundant information, in-depth thoughts and beautiful appearance of the report after I �nished reading it, and I am especially
touched by the sincerity and minds of Mengniu in undertaking its social responsibilities. I have to say that this is an excellent and valuable CSR report!
Throughout the report, I can feel the practical e�orts in all aspects made by Mengniu, as a leading company in the dairy industry, to rebuild Chinese
people's con�dence and trust in the domestic dairy products. The saying that "Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and milk is the �rst choice
as food, while safety is an important priority to milk" is far more than a slogan but a supreme creed for people working at Mengniu. On the basis of seven
major quality certi�cations, including the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS18001, Mengniu also participated in drafting national standards and information
collection for international standards on food and dairy products. Mengniu is leading the continuous improvement of quality and safety in the dairy
industry.
Employees are the main body of a company. Mengniu regards its employees as source of its sustainable development. Mengniu established its unique
"Mengniu 100" system, with which Mengniu established a complete training system covering all groups from management trainees to decision-making
managers in the company and broke the boundaries of internal business in the company. Mengniu is making constant e�orts to train excellent talents for
its company and the entire society and on the other hand it meets the needs of employees for personal development.
The report is compatible with international standards and has shown its characteristics in globalization. The report is prepared with reference to ISO 26000
and con�rms the six major social responsibility topics for Mengniu. The report covers all the G4 core indexes and provided a useful model and reference
for drafting of reports by Chinese enterprises in accordance with G4 requirements.
