Integrity is a basic element for every employee at Yili, and also embodied the contract spirit that every compliant partner should uphold. With a commitment to business integrity, Yili has drawn a “Yili’s Off-limits Area”, and established and refined the risk-management system and anti-fraud system. To ensure integrity among our employees, both pre-emptive and punitive measures are adopted.

Yili maintains zero tolerance for any practices that fall into “Yili's Off-limits Area”. For any violation of law, be it of our employees or our partners, we will fulfill our due legal obligation to facilitate the investigation of competent authorities and hold offenders accountable.
