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

Page 5: Little Happiness Mattersmengniuir.com/pdf/governance_reporting.pdf · Social Responsibility Report of China Mengniu Dairy Company Limited (2008-2013) Little Happiness Matters Social

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

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.

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.

advocated integration of social logistic resources and carried out joint delivery to cut

down social logistic costs. We cooperated with logistic companies including CSL, COSCO

LOGISTICS, YCIL and Zhongpin Cold-chain Logistics, to carry out joint delivery in many

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

supply for a whole year.

Successful self- development in MengniuYu Xiaoqing: I am a CSR manager at Mengniu and my career development is in line with Mengniu’s development. I joined Mengniu, a big family in my eyes, in November 2003. At the beginning, I was an ordinary worker at the production line. Thanks to Mengniu's extensive training and talent selection philosophy of appointing people by abilities, I won various occupational training opportunities and worked on many positions. In the past 11 years, I have worked in many cities, such as Hohhot, Tongliao, Baoji, Taian and Beijing and on many positions, including normal worker, HR clerk, HR Manager and O�ce Manager, and �nally I became the CSR Manager. Mengniu has provided a platform for my career development. As my personal career developed, I also got married and had a happy family.

Conducting training programs with partners

The secret in fast development of Mengniu lies in its talent training system. Mengniu established its Mengniu 100

system covering trainees, grass-roots leaders, senior managers and core backbone managers, to whom Mengniu

provided corresponding training resources. When Mengniu trained talents for itself, it also laid a solid base of

talents for the entire dairy industry.

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.

Besides, Mengniu donated �nancial and material resources to solve as many social problems as possible by

its own power.

The Development of Mengniu’s Public Good Cause

Supporting public good cause by donations in cash and in kind

We have paid continuous attentions to the cause of public good, and made devoted e�orts to create a harmonious society

and community since Mengniu was founded. Through the past 15 years, we have witnessed the contributions of Mengniu to

community development and all e�orts made in exploring new modes of public good activities.

On this basis, we strove to build a social responsibility platform of "You are the �nishing touch". With public good project as

the bond and partners as core participators, Mengniu brought its employees, city managers, suppliers, media and celebrities

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.

2008-2011

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. They also helped orphans, the single-aged and the single-disabled in the disaster-stricken area in Sichuan and established the Chinese Milk Love Foundation with China Children and Teenagers’ Fund to build an open platform aggregating all charity powers in the society.

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

donated RMB 10 million through Sichuan Department of

Civil A�airs to the earthquake-hit area in Ya’an. At the same

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.
