Yili Group Hosts Global Elite Summit to Strengthen International Team
Yili Group welcomed outstanding employees from around the world to its second Global Elite Summit, held in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, from July 7–10. The four-day gathering brought together 52 high-achieving team members from Indonesia, Thailand, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany, and Australia. Created to strengthen collaboration across regions, the event combined cultural experiences, visits to company facilities, and interactive team-building programs to reinforce connections among Yili's international workforce.
Chairman and President Pan Gang joined the event to greet participants and take part in the traditional "dragon eye-dotting" ceremony, a symbolic ritual representing new beginnings and renewed energy. During the ceremony, he presented commemorative gifts to attendees and reaffirmed the importance of Yili's global talent in supporting the company's long-term vision.
Addressing the participants, Pan Gang emphasized that international expansion continues to be a central focus of Yili's development strategy. He noted that as the company broadens its global operations, it will continue creating greater opportunities for overseas employees to advance their careers and achieve professional growth.
One of the summit's standout experiences was a guided visit to the Yili Modern Intelligent Health Valley. Employees explored every stage of the dairy production process, gaining insight into how advanced digital technologies, intelligent manufacturing systems, and extensive research and development work together to maintain Yili's high standards for quality and food safety. The visit underscored the company's shared commitment to delivering trusted products to consumers worldwide.
An employee from Indonesia described the experience as highly motivating, saying that witnessing Yili's dedication to quality firsthand inspired them to apply the same standards in their own market and continue providing premium products to local customers.
Beyond the business-focused activities, the summit also highlighted cultural diversity and international friendship. Participants experienced traditional Chinese customs, toured Hohhot, and showcased the music, dance, and traditions of their own countries, creating opportunities for meaningful cross-cultural exchange.
Among the event's most memorable activities was a collaborative dragon dance project. Teams worked together to design, build, and perform with a traditional dragon, demonstrating how cooperation, creativity, and mutual support can overcome language differences and strengthen teamwork.
Reflecting on the experience, one Chinese employee observed that although participants spoke different languages and came from diverse backgrounds, the spirit of mutual respect and care united everyone throughout the event.
The Global Elite Summit represents an important part of Yili's long-term talent development strategy. By fostering an inclusive, multicultural workplace where employees from different regions can thrive, the company continues to strengthen its global workforce while encouraging professional growth and collaboration.
As Yili looks to the future, it plans to build on these shared experiences to inspire innovation, deepen international cooperation, and contribute to the continued advancement of the global health industry.
